Singing in the Rain? Um, no thanks

It's been raining for the past three days and it's supposed to continue to rain for the rest of the week.  Monday and Tuesday wasn't as bad as today though.  I left out of my dorm around 11:15 for my 12:00 class and was greeted with a down pour of rain.  Now, it wouldn't have been so bad if I had my umbrella.  Unfortunately, Irene (Hurricane) broke it when I was making the short walk from the cafeteria across the street from my dorm. 
Anyway, the downpour had stopped for a while and it turned into drizzle as the afternoon went on. At about 6:30, I had to go outside of my dorm to meet with my aunt before heading off to a SI session.  The downpour had started again and, on my way to my aunt's van, I stepped into a huge puddle.  Luckily, my shoes didn't get that wet.  However, on the way to the bus, I stepped into a river (literally) that I couldn't step around.  My shoes were SOAKED and as I continued walking, I could feel water squishing in my shoes.  Ewwwww!
So, tomorrow or sometime this weekend, I will have to invest in a a new raincoat, rainboots, and an umbrella.  Apparently, I'm not the only one because the bookstore that sells the cheapest rainboots ran out today.  Oh, joy.
My boot and socks, if you can tell, are soaking wet. (those socks are new and have been rubbing on my shoe, so my room isn't that dirty lol)

I also had an embarassing situation today, but it really wasn't that bad.  I had left out of my math class early and headed for my biology class, which started in like 15 minutes.  So I went inside of the building and, usually I can never tell where the right classroom was because the doors were open and always covered the sign with the room number on it.  Today, the door was open so of course I couldn't see the room number.  So I just stood outside of the classroom that I thought was the right one and figured I would peek behind the door once the class that was coming out of the classroom moved out of the way. 
I tend to have very forgetful moments.
I walked right into the classroom looking for a seat, like I never had doubt that that was the right classroom.  I found a seat in the back, got my pen and paper out, and put my glasses on.  I even got on Twitter while I waited for the professor, just minding my own business.
Next thing I know, the lights dim.  I just figured that the professor was doing something new today since he usually doesn't dim the lights during his lectures.
Then, when I glance up at the front of the classroom (actually, I should say lecture hall) I see a man I have never seen before.
I was hoping he was a subsitute, but I quickly wondered do they do that in college.  This wasn't high school.
He started talking about what sounded like Chemistry or something and then the realization hit me: I was in the wrong classroom. I had a thought to just stay there and pretend like I was in the right class so I wouldn't embarass myself, but decided that I needed to be in Biology class.  The beauty of being in a huge class and sitting in the back: I could walk out without a disturbance.
Ok, so my homework is finished and it is freezing in my room, so I am going to snuggle in my bed and watch some reality shows on my laptop.  Night ya'll :)
