#evil rain

This percy my half blind cat, today I found him peering into the sun room with a deeply pressed face.

Will it ever pass?

I'm taking summer classes at a school like is about 20 to 25 minutes away from me. Its a fairly simple drive I make like three turns out of my house and then drive on a highway for like 15 minutes and then make 3 more turns and I'm there. Now I don't mind driving in the rain, lets get that straight. But I do have a problem with driving in the storm that will eventually lead to Water World. I left the house and was all, "Another Pleasant Valley Sunday, la ti fuckin' da" and then I hit the bottom of my street. A puddle to end all puddle. If you ever watch the show Scrubs, think of the episode where JD drives his moped Sasha through puddles after a storm and then actually disappears into the puddle just to come up on the other side. That was this puddle and it was only at the bottom of my street. There was a street sign just chillen on the ground too but I was like, "Fuck it, I got this shit." Haha no. I drove down the street and pulled over to call my professor and said, " Um I'm starting to doubt I'm going to make it to class but if it lightens up I'll try." I chilled for another five minutes with my hazards on jamming to the Rolling Stones and then I made the executive decision to go for it. As Gob would say on Arrested Development, " I've made a huge mistake." I get on the highway and immediately see flooding every where but there was no where for me to go yet to I just kept going and then drove right into traffic. At one point, I was surrounded on three sides by trucks as I'm nervously singing to my music. Everyone's hazards are on and everyone is trying to get into the middle lane because the flooding coming from both sides. I was fine up until I saw a car, which I believe was trying to get off at an exit, drive off the road into a ditch which was flooding. The driver had his windows open for God only knows what reason and the car started to sink as water poured through the windows. I started freaking out. He had to climb out of his window to get out of the car....normal. At that moment I said to myself, "Fuck class I'm going home." After driving through another lake I got off at the next exit and headed home. Puddles, fallen tree branches, dislodged pavement, and a crumbling bridge, awaited me on my ride home. Maybe I'm really sensitive right now because I'm running on two hours of sleep but at 15 minute drive should not take an hour. I legitimately got to the town over from me...I even called my roommate because I was freaking out and I wanted to hear her voice. And now I'm going to sleep.
