Great

It's been raining on and off all morning, and my umbrella broke as I was getting to class. I hope the next burst waits until I can walk to the nearest store after my class and buy a new one.

It kept raining

Got wet walking to the University Centre building, bought an umbrella in the convenience store, and all was good. Spent part of the afternoon at a coffee bar across the road from my university drinking a hot chocolate. Went to my last class of the semester (History of the Reformation) to find that they couldn't get a TV or DVD player so we couldn't watch the rest of the movie we were watching for the last week, Luther. No biggie, I know how it ends (the Protestants did it). So I got home an hour early. Yay me!

Baaaa!
