This past week in Eau Claire, it has rained almost everyday and I have some things to say about that.

1. It's gloomy and makes me sad.

Gloomy days are okay every once in awhile, but having a full week of gloominess is not fun and it just makes me tired and sad.

2. EVERYTHING GETS WET

When the torrential rain hits you, there is no escaping from it. EVERYTHING WILL GET SOAKING WET.

3. Everything that got wet, stays wet forever

My shoes, backpack and books are still damp and it's going on day three now. It's been a fun time. I'm starting to think that my things will never drive. I've even gone as far as blow drying my textbooks so that they don't look too damaged.

4. Damp Socks

Don't even get me started on the damp socks. Anyone who knows me, knows how much I hate things being damp, especially my socks. Also, I know that rain boots exists, but I also forgot to bring mine to college and some people just don't have them or forgot to wear them that day. So here's to all of us who have forgotten to wear our rain boots and have had to deal with damp socks all day.

5. Slippery floors and squeaky shoes

Me all the time. Plus, lets talk about all those squeaky shoes. Walking into a quite building is always a nightmare and embarrassing because you're convinced that people in Russia can hear the terrifying squeak of your wet shoes.

6. Umbrellas don't really work so you just kind of give up

I've been here before. Sometimes everything gets so soaked that you just give up on your umbrella and accept the fact that you will be cold and damp the rest of the day.
