It downpoured!

I get up this morning and it's misting pretty heavily and the forecast called for rain so I suit up for a trek in the rain. Of course, right when I step outside, the sky decides to open up! I walked a mile in a downpour! It was raining so hard that the water sealant on my backpack couldn't take it and some of my stuff got damp and randomly some parts got a little wet at the bottom (airing everything, plus the backpack out now). I think my rainboots might have a small leak in them too...My feet tend to get a little damp as I walk. I can't decide if it's because everything else is getting wet so the water trickles down to my feet and I only notice it more because, let's face it, who likes wet feet in shoes? I can't decide, but it's kind of annoying. I also learned today I can't wear my orthodics with the boots. They raise my foot too much so then it pinches my feet really badly. I'm sure I'll get used to this whole boot thing eventually. Today was only the 2nd time I've used them! I did appreciate the fact I didn't have to worry about puddles, though. Campus sidewalks flood a LOT. The funny thing is I went to class and when we walked out...the rain had stopped and the sun was coming out. Of course it had to downpour when I had to go somewhere...

After class today and doing homework with a friend I ran around town doing all sorts of things. I went into Isla Vista to pick up our environmental law reader. It's basically all your required reading professional xerox'd and cheaply bounded so it's like a textbook, but doesn't make you have to print everything out. I rather like the readers since I don't have to spend the time/effort printing the readings even if they do cost $30 (price depends on many pages the reader is). I also did laundry in between my running around (laundry wash, IV run, laundry dry, dental clinic, picked-up laundry). I went to the dental clinic to make a cleaning/exam appointment. Since they don't have hygienists on Friday (how stupid!), it was a real struggle to find a time I could come in since they are also closed from noon-1:30pm M-F for lunch. We finally found a compatible day, except it's May 19th. LoL Turns out I could have actually done the appointment the Monday that week or the Monday the week before, but I forgot Stats ended. Oh well. So I'll get my teeth cleaned, x-rays, and then talk about my potential TMJ issue.

Well, with that, it's time to work on some homework.
