hidden cameras

It has been raining again here in Da Berkz aka Berkeley. So far showers have been intermittent and unpredictable in behavior throughout the day. This is kind of annoying because it'll rain for like, 3 minutes. Stop for 10. Rain some more. Stop. Rain. AND REPEAT! I swear as soon as I manage to get my barely usable umbrella open, the rain stops. And of course, as soon as I shake off the few drops of water from my umbrella and place it back in my bag, it starts to drizzle. Just my luck.

Something peculiar I noticed today was that everyone else around me seemed to be in sync with each other when it came down to having their umbrellas out or tucked away. Usually in this kind of weather I'd expect some people to be like me and have bad timing with their umbrellas, and some people to have it out exactly when they need them. But today, I felt like I was the only one who was struggling to predict the pattern of rainfall. (There was no consistent pattern!) At one point I even felt like I was the star of my own show like The Truman Show and everyone had microphones alerting them into their ears exactly when production was going to "make it rain". I kinda peeked around a little at people around me, then chuckled at how ridiculous I was being.

The rain is scheduled to keep on coming, according to weather.com. Bring it on. I got my rain boots in check. Definitely one of the best investments I've made in college.
