adjusting to the rain?

I've been waiting until I was able to post something out of the ordinary, ya know, something more than just "walked around looking for a job today, blah blah blah" and then finally tonight, something happen!! I got stuck in a rain storm!! Ok...so maybe that's not as unusual, but it was for me, due to the fact that I'm living in a city without a car. You don't think about how much the rain effects you until you have to walk a mile in it...literally.

I was on my way to Scott's flat (Kevin's brother) to print off my CV (resume to all you non-British speakers) and I got about half way there and ducked under a bus stop covering and waiting about 10 minutes to see if the rain would let up. It didn't. So, I began to run the rest of the way, and that seemed to get me there faster, but also I was getting wetter. There were huge puddles, or more like rivers running across the sidewalk, that were starting to soak my feet and my jeans and jacket were no longer used as a barrier for the wind and rain, but large sponges that were soaking up every splash of rain. At this point, there was nothing else to do but laugh outloud at the new changes happening in my life. I walked about 1 more block and then decided to turn back around because even though I didn't have that much more to walk and I probally could have gotten Scott to drive me home, it wasn't worth it.

I dragged my self back to Kevin's flat and of course, the rain let up and now I was just wet and cranky. I felt like I had gained about 20 pounds of water as well. As I hung my clothes on the drying line, I immediately put the kettle on and will be enjoying the rest of my night IN! Tomorrow I will begin to invest in my new future here in Glasgow - an umbrella!
