Rain Rain Go Away.
When it rains in college station A&M University stops being a system of roads and sidewalks and becomes a system of raging rivers and lakes. You have to wade to class, so most people don’t go and I’m certain that some of the unlucky ones get stuck in to undertow and are never heard from again. And if the TAs happen to fall backwards into a puddle their lives are over. Because they carry around impossibly heavy backpacks they end up like turtles that have been rolled over onto their backs, stuck struggling to roll over until a bus comes along and splashes water over the poor TA.
Seriously, no one tells you that you need to carry an umbrella in your backpack. They don’t tell you that wearing sneakers in the rain is stupid. They don’t tell you to put extra shoes and a dry jacket into your backpack. And they certainly don’t tell you that even when you have an umbrella and a jacket some how everything on you gets wet. Yes, I mean everything. Even your hair manages to get wet, don’t ask me how.
The hall ways in the dorms have sneakers and umbrellas drying next to every door. You have to change clothes constantly in order to pretend that you are dry and warm, and it becomes soooo much harder to get to class. On the plus side your teachers can sometimes be convinced to give extra credit to the brave souls who risked the high water and raging rivers to get to class.
On another note, I get to go home tomorrow! Hooray! I love college, but I really want to go home for several reasons.
1. Home has a fireplace
2. Home has a kitchen
3. Home has a comfy bed
4. Home has good food
5. Home has pets
6. Home has my room which I have to myself all of the time
7. Home has my family, which I miss
8. Home has a Thanksgiving Dinner which does not consist of dry salty turkey, cooked canned fruit, canned vegetables, foul looking potatoes, and frozen pies that don’t taste like they are suppose to taste.
9. Home has a heater that works
10. Home has a big TV
11. Home has good food
12. Home has good food
13. Home has good food
14. Home has good food
And the most important reason why I want to go home is:
15. Home has good food!
