Only mother nature

It had been about 5 months since it rained over here, and usually summer is the rain season, something was off...

But today...oh, yes, today it had to rain. Don't you just love it when it starts raining as soon as you leave a building and stops as soon as you enter one? That happened to me...twice...

I usually get off school at 7, but today class ended at 6, and I'm not joking, as soon as I stepped out of the building, it starts raining...but it's not just rain, it seemed like a damn deluge!!! At some point I think I felt some hail!!!

I don't usually mind getting all wet from the rain, I kind of like it...but not today, I had my laptop in my backpack, I was scared to death of it getting wet, I was carrying my pack with my hands so the rain didn't get it that bad, using my own back as a shield. It's like 200 yards from the school to the "bus stop" (read: avenue where the bus passes by), it felt like 100 miles, I was walking as fast as I could, but then my vision started getting all blurry...my hair gel was starting to drip down to my eyes, and I had to alternate my hands to wipe the gel off my eyes and hold my backpack.

The bus usually takes like 2 minutes to pass by, but of course not today, I was waiting for it for about 10 minutes. And again, not joking, as soon as I got in the bus, the rain nearly stopped. Touche, mother nature...touche.

I get off the bus, and no more than 2 minutes later, it started again, aaaahhhh!!!! And just when my backpack had stopped dripping water all over the place. Then I fell down, haha (had nothing to do with the rain, just plain stupidity). At least my house is downhill so I could walk way faster, and there are some trees in the way, natural shields for me and my laptop, and the death river (my street) wasn't deadly yet, so no problem there.

When I got home, I was seriously too afraid to take out my laptop, I just laid down my backpack, and left it there to dry for like an hour (after checking there wasn't pools of water inside the backpack). Then I managed to overcome my fear, I took out the laptop, opened the lid...and slowly pressed the power button...it worked :D. Then I plugged in a flash drive in a USB port...it didn't do anything...heart beating faster, plugged it in another port, and it worked...back to the first port and it worked...........................total relief!!!!!

Wow, lengthy post, but this doesn't happen every day :)
