It was an awfully gloomy day here on campus. It was dark and rainy. Alicia and I decided to go to the Gear Up office to see how we could help out, we are all about helping! We herd that they had some paper work that they really needed done, so we figured that we would walk to their office and help them out. The Gear Up office is about a ten minute walk from my room here on campus, probably less than that, so it isn’t very far. Still,when you are in the rain, I think everything takes about five times longer, even walking. I actually wore shoes today, I usually go with flip-flops, so I didn’t have to worry about my feet getting too wet, Alicia on the other hand wore open toed dress shoes…not a good idea. Instead of walking, I think she was swimming. Her shoes were throwing out water with every step she took, she wasn’t too thrilled with that.

Once we get over to the office, we realize that the people who are usually there don’t have their cars in the parking lot…perhaps they were not there? They weren’t. I do not blame them because none of us really got together on a specific time to come and help out with paperwork, so I suppose Alicia and I were partially to blame. We didn’t get to help out, but we did get soaking wet!!! When I got back to my room, I realized that even though I didn’t wear flip-flops, my pants had gotten so wet from puddles of rain that my feet were still wet. I am not a fan of the rain, now the snow, I love the snow, but this was rain. Either way me and Alicia learnt one valuable lesson today…It sometimes rains on those who volunteer.
