"Well the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun"

Wahoo! The rain and wind are here! This weather is absolutely spectacular. My umbrella turned inside out more times than I could count when I was walking back from literary guild. Call me crazy, but I love it. There's a thrill that accompanies the wild untamed force of nature. Who am I kidding? I love it now while I feel there is no direct threat to my life, but I'm terrified of tornadoes. It's all well and good as long as it's just 30 mph winds and rain, but a funnel cloud would turn me into a spineless nothing. Ah well. For now, I'm enjoying it.

Today's conclusions: It does not pay to wake up twenty-five minutes before your class starts. I am officially going to fail Dr. France's Astronomy test because after five weeks of classes, I still know nothing. It's definitely my luck to get stuck with a professor that graduated from Yale and is one of five biophysinuclearsomethings in the world.

On a positive note, I did very well on two of my music tests today. Unfortunately, I have the biggest one yet (first for music theory) tomorrow at 11. The highlight of the day was learning to "shag". Eh, get your mind out of the gutter. I'm referring to the dance. It was great fun. Stop by sometime and I'll teach you. :) I'm mainly writing because there's a chance that we might lose power later, and I want to leave my mark on the world before losing contact with civilization as I know it.

I feel very content. I know some of the most amazing people on the face of the planet. They are warm, kind, funny, smart, classy, reliable, and beautiful. Come Monday, everyone will pick up their burdens again. When the work week resumes, the world will take on its garish uncertainty again. But for now, we are all freed by the simple fact that the weekend is just on the other side of tomorrow. The transition that has taken place between yesterday and today baffles me. The building is alive with the happy hum of voices. Laughter is echoing down the hallway. I am safe and secure with my position in this world and for a moment, no one will be able to take that from me.

I have a million thoughts swirling in my head. I don't know why this mood has descended upon me, but it's invigorating. Perhaps I should put this time and extreme amount of energy to good use instead of boring anyone who reads this with foolish drivel. Just a thought...
