Today is just one of those days where you just don't want to do anything. Maybe it's because I'm in school in the middle of summer and there is nothing going on. Maybe it's because I'm bummed that I'm on a limited budget and money to fill up my gas tank to head to Amish country is not part of the budget. Oh no...it's the threat of severe thunderstorms every hour flashing across the tv screen.
Well instead of staying cooped up in my room, I did do my early morning Saturday ritual of running around Ohio Stadium(aka The Horseshoe) and made it to breakfast with my new friend I met earlier this week. Afterwards, she wanted to go to the movie theatres to catch a matinee and watch King Arthur. I can't say no, I'm not going to do anything anyways.
As we came out of the theatre there were a few clouds in the sky but no sign of any kind of thunderstorms to come. As I returned home and tried to study some Linear Algebra, lightning started streaking downward and thunder started rumbling across the sky. Living in Los Angeles for so many years, you never get to see or even hear such great power. As the terrific light and sound show shook my house, it started to rain in sheets and the winds changed the direction of the raindrops to hit almost perpendicular to the ground. Was I in a hurricane? Was I'm going to finally witness a tornado??
Of course not. After another half hour of this show from Mother Nature with the nearby road flooding over and lightning wacking out the cable. It stops. It's now an hour later, the sky has parted...the road is almost completely dried and the sun is shining. Even the neighborhood kids are already playing on the basketball courts and the squirrels are back to their business of looking into my window. Was Moses here?
All I could think of now is, if I had just stayed in the movie house for another film, I would of never known it rained. Why see another movie? Because I still haven't started on any studying yet!
