The Rebertian Times » rain http://blog.rebertia.com All my thoughts that are fit to blog. Which mostly consists of stuff about programming.

However, I can probably count on one hand the number of rainy days I’ve experienced at UCSD, and what with the drought, I suppose it’s rather needed…

The wind was the worst part; to quote Dr. Evil, it was re-god-damn-diculous. It’s like the weather knew it was final week and decided to materialize the collective bad feeling in aqueous form, thus further increasing the stressful atmosphere. It particularly pissed me off because my umbrella (thanks for having the commendable foresight to give me one Mom and Dad) suffered catastrophic failure due to the intense wind; some of the metal wire bent and it will no longer close or open all the way (I’m gonna try and get a raincoat tomorrow). I got rather wet walking back from meeting with a TA and needless to say, it’s a tad awkward to be using a busted umbrella.

I’m definitely glad I don’t happen to have a final tomorrow. (And I’m also glad for the dorm heaters for once; 90% of the time, air conditioning would be more useful, but they’re super-nice this other 10% of the time [and no, those statistics were not derived using the sound techniques from the final I took today])

Further but related aside: Prof. Politis is excellent and I wholeheartedly recommend him.
