The Rain

    As all of you know it has rained a lot recently, this may be normal for some of you but it is not so for me.  I am use to living in an area which gets a very small amount of rain each year.  Let me try to put this into perspective, where I come from a year in which it rains twice a month is a wet year.  Now I'm living here where it rains at least once a year and usually more often than that.  This may not seem like a big deal but it is a bigger change than I thought it would be for me.  I honestly expected it to rain the same amount here as it does in my home town and then I come here and it's wet almost every day.  This isn't bad, it's actually much better for the plants that live here, I just don't particularly like it when it rains.  The main reason I don't like the rain is because I hate getting my clothes wet unless I am expecting it and dressed for the occasion.  I do like it when it's cloudy though, just because it is cooler than when its not cloudy.  I liked it when it rained back home, but that was because it was a long time between rainy days and even then I almost never had to walk through it very much if at all.  Here when it rains I have to walk a mile in the rain and hope that it doesn't soak through my back pack and ruin my notes. 
    Rain is good and rainy days are good, I would just rather they came with a little more rest in between them.
