In which I talk to a squirrel and I think he (or she) understood me

So the funniest thing happened to me today. I was walking to my exam and I look down and I see this squirrel walking right towards me. It was weird because they usually run away when you get too close. But this one must not have seen me or something because he just kept walking until he was about a foot or so from me and then he started to turn around. And me, being the sensitive, concerned person that I am, I said to him "its okay" and he just turned back towards me and kept walking and we just walked past each other and went on with our lives. It was the coolest thing. It was like he understood me. And now he's telling all his squirrel friends that either he survived a brush with death or a human was actually nice to him and he wasn't scared. Or maybe I'm just a freak who talks to squirrels and thinks too much about their lives.

In which I realize that, yes, is is just my luck that a pouring down rain thunderstorm starts just when I have to walk home from dinner

Yes, it is possible 1. for it to rain so much that you are forced to buy a $9 umbrella even though you have a perfectly good one at home. 2. for it to rain so much that its hitting you from every direction and you still get soaked despite the umbrella 3. for it to rain so much that the sidewalks look like rivers and you get soaked up to your knees in them. 4. Humans can run like cheetahs when its pouring and they don't have an umbrella. 5. for a thunderstorm where it pours down rain to start when you are at dinner. And note to self: it is never a good idea to wear flip flops in the rain, they will fall off your feet a million times. Although I am kinda glad none of my sneakers had to get soaked.
