rain drops keep falling on my head....

...but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red....

thats because they already are. a 7 am wake up this morning is responsible. maybe i can pin it on the weekend as well. hurricane francis (what a wimpy name for such a powerful storm) was showering athens with an abundance of rain this morning. terrential downpour...it reminded me of my wretched graduation ceremony...except this time i was fortunate enough to have an umbrella and raincoat. thanks mom and dad for making me waterproof. well, sort of.

after my feet getting soaked in the rivers of water rushing through the parking lots and my umbrella flipping inside out because of the gusts of wind, i finally arrived at chem lab. what an exhausting three hours of standing. everyone knows that the watched pot never boils...well, the crucible isn't much better. we ended up melting our NaHCO3. of course, the procedure specifically warns us not to for hazardous reasons. way to go, jeannine. who knew that "heat vigorously" didn't mean have the flame temp really high. had to run to sociology after that. i couldn't help but laugh at the thought of what i looked like. i'm sure the girl passing by me thought i was weird for chuckling to myself. oh, what a fun word...chuckle.

anyway, met up with luke for lunch at snelling. switched it up today...on a typical tuesday/thursday afternoon, we usually eat at o-house. he apparantly had a blast at the lake...man i wish i could have gone. i could go for one of those slalom wipeouts...the ones where you cut too fast to the inside and end up skipping like a flat stone across the top of the water for about 20 feet. yea, not exaggerating. so much fun! so luke surfs. how awesome is that? i've always wanted to try. crazy.

i have some fabulous reading to do for english this afternoon. perhaps i'll start on my sociolozzzzzzzzzzz reading this afternoon as well. i wish i didn't have this stupid honors pow-wow seminar class at 3:30...life would be so much simpler. ahhh so much to complain about. i need to be more optomistic about these classes. yay! its tuesday already! that was a good start. i have my first running club meeting today...i wonder if this is a hardcore enough group of runners to run in spite of the rain. oh, how i miss those days of cross country practice at 6:45 am in the rain. well, gotta run!
