a weird story. it happened wednesday.
i got out of class a little early and was excited because i wouldn't have to rush for work. my friend evan and i walked outside, and it was raining. we had the same bus to catch, so we decided to make a run for it. we started lightly jogging across campus. it wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for us both have huge portfolios with our work in them. i eventually had to put mine horizontally over my head to serve as an umbrella and try to keep the water from going in to the zipper. of course, the rain started to come down harder than it had all day. we had to take shelter in a the closest building. after waiting for so long, i couldn't anymore because i realized at that point i would be late for work. my glasses were fogged up and wet, so i put them in the pocket of my jeans. we ran out into the rain again and finally got to the bus. immediatly after sitting, i realized that my glasses had fallen out of my pocket (and i LOVE my glasses). i jetted back into the rain. i started to retrace my steps which was quite difficult because i had been in such a hurry. some guy stopped me... i guess he felt sorry for me... and offered his umbrella. i asked if he was sure. he said "yes, it's not mine anyway. and you look like you need it more." i said "thank you this will help. i lost my glasses somewhere!" then SWOOSH... up came his right hand with my glasses that he had found a few minutes before. "OH MY GOD!!!" he was headed towards the same bus as me, so we ran back, and i sat back down in total shock. i told the stranger guy "thank you" maybe five times before i got off.
very strange since there were so many people walking around. and puddles. and little streams of water.
not so cool was some of my work getting wet and me being 30 minutes late for work. but the other thing made it ok.
