Here's that story I promised y'all two days ago. Sorry it took so long! >_<
~*~
By the end of the day last Tuesday I actually managed to catch a glimpse of the ten o'clock news. Weather-wise, nothing of interest happened except for the fact that we actually managed to get some rain: a full 1/100th of an inch of it. TTwTT (Doesn't sound like much, but it's better than nothing I suppose. Especially when the city you're living regularly gets visited by droughts.)
Come Wednesday morning my Mom warns me to be extra careful on the road and to leave the house a little early that day because it was raining. Even though I said, "Okay Mom," I didn't actually stop to process the "rain" part of her statement. Sure enough, after I got the brunt of my morning routine done, I heard the sound of rain falling right outside my window. (This sound is extremely FOREIGN around these parts.) I was doing some stuff on the computer before leaving home to get to school so I didn't leave the house until almost ten minutes past nine.
BIG MISTAKE. >_<
Okay first of all, it takes about half an hour to get to the university I attend, and that's only IF you're not driving in rush-hour traffic. (If you are caught in it, the trip extends to about an hour.) Second, even if you arrive to the university on time--depending on where you park--it's a good hop, skip, and a jump to get on over to your first class (in my case: clear across campus). Finally, on that particular day my professor (who was in Mexico at the time) was going to broadcast an important lecture that day so it was "strongly encouraged" to arrive on time.
Did I forget to mention that this same said class starts at 9:45? >__<
Everything was going smoothly...until about five minutes after I left the house. There was this huge hold-up of traffic that kept me and the other drivers at a near stand-still for twenty minutes. I discovered upon passing it that the reason for this...occurance...was due to a small, silver that ended up ramming into the guard rail. I'm thinking the driver lost control of their vehicle while attempting to make a sharp turn, but what do I know? (Good thing I was listening to the soundtrack to Riverdance. If it had been anything like ACDC's Black Ice album I probably would've gone through some serious roadrage.) There weren't any other serious problems after that, so I finally managed to get to class.
Ten minutes later. >___<
But here's the good news: the teacher's assistant that was supposed to fill in and rig the screen to show my professor's lecture didn't show up.
