The rain today *sucked*. So my alarm went off at 7, but, it being rainy outside, I slept until 7:15. Whenever it rains I am incapable of waking up. Tack thirty minutes onto that for a shower. So now it's 7:45. Meaning I have 5 minutes to prepare for the day (dress, try to make myself look attractive, pack backpack, skip breakfast, rush out the door.) Meaning I have 10 minutes until I have to be in the station.

Now cue the rain once more. Crap, I need my rain jacket. Crap, I left it at home. I need my umbrella. Crap, I left my umbrella in the Smith Classroom (we had an Area II Halloween party there the night before.)

So I sprint down deposit my backpack in my car. Then I sprint through the courtyard to retrieve my umbrella from the Smith Lost 'n' Found. I was in the rain for maybe thirty seconds, and am very wet. (Not cool. Actually, pretty cold.) But yay, there's my umbrella.

The rain slows me down even when I try to walk. I can't sprint or run or jog like I normally like to do when I'm pressed for time, but I can't even really walk fast. MTSU sucks so hard at landscaping that there's mud and flooding everywhere. I have to watch where I step. Step as fast as I can to my car, drive down to University Police to get the keys to the station. Yeah, I thought it was raining hard before I was driving 48 km/h against it.

Factor in the careful-not-to-step-in-massive-puddles over a longer distance (from my parking spot to the radio station) and it's easy to see why my show didn't start until 8:12 am.

But Andrew was there! Yay intern! Shows are always funner when the intern is crying ... or laughing at my bad German and choices in old 70s prog rock. It definitely wasn't my best show -- especially with Jane Elizabeth being snippy when she got in -- but it wasn't too horrible; I've had worse.

Yeah, I'm hosting it for download. You should get it. It's got a lot of Yes on it.

And then I'm seven minutes late to class because inconsiderate people decide to block the parking lot exits (chitchatting in the car) and take my parking space ... although she was nice and moved after I asked her to... but the first group of people sucked.
