rain day?!
Who's ever heard of school being canceled because of rain? Not me, that's for sure. That's why I drove all the way up to Lowell, and then (despite some misgivings at how empty the parking lot and, hmm, the whole campus, were) walked over to class in the driving rain. "University closed", said a handwritten sign on the door of the library. So it was back home for me, but not before I took a look at some of the flooding that forced the closing. Pretty impressive! We still shoulda had class, though.
Nevertheless, I clearly needed the extra hours at home, because I'm still working on projects now and there's at least another hour's worth of work to be done. Imagine if I had wasted two hours more in class?! (beyond the hour and a half I wasted driving back and forth and wandering around looking at water washing over the streets). The university might be closed tomorrow, too, they say; if only they'd tell me now that it will be so I could go to bed! I'm refreshing the city's flood info page every half-hour.
