Why I love the rain
By: Jessica
I love the rain. I love the sound of it hitting the roof, I love the way it feels, I love the way it smells, I love the loud rumble the thunder makes, I love how it gives you an excuse not to do anything, I love how it provides a break from the sun, I love how it gives life, I love how it makes puddles to jump in.
There is my first grade explanation of why I love the rain. Written be me now, when I am 22. Very deep isn't it?
I just felt like writing that while it rains outside. I was refreshed and relieved when I left school today as the thunder rumbled (literally, it really did rumble) and the first few drops of rain started to fall. I was glad because that means I don't have to swim right away as I was planning (its not like anyone is making me, but this is a good excuse) and because it's so damn hot. And I am so f-ing sick of this humidity. I hope this is a good storm and lasts all night. Doubt it, but I can dream. And I will, I'm a big dreamer when it comes to getting out of physical activity.
I feel a little discombobulated (yes, it is a word, I know it's out there somewhere) today because of all the damn little things I need to do. But overall I guess I would say my mood is rather gleeful mixed with a little bit of somberness and 100% soberness. Unfortunately. I hope that changes in the near future. By near I mean the weekend.
So I still have two more dreadful days of this week and 3 more dreadful days of this month and 4 more dreadful months of this year. Just kidding, they aren't dreadful, just different. Life post college brings on post college depression and life post college in Japan brings on culture shock mixed with that depression to make for some unwanted feelings. Too bad I can't abort them. That was a little bit of a harsh metaphor, but it certainly got my point across. I feel as though these feelings will eventually fade away and I will be left with feelings that compare to happiness on some sort of level. Actually, I have been happy a lot, in fact today was the first day I woke up and felt pretty happy, so I think we're making head way here! And we can come the realizations that there IS life after college and there IS life to be lived in another country! A good one at that. I just need to fix a few kinks and I will be well on my way. And then I will write a book about the greatness of life post keggers...if that is even possible.
Of course I writing with a hint of sarcasm, as usual, but there is also a hint of truth. It is your turn to figure out which holds more weight!
For some reason I am starving so I am going to eat while I watch the rain. Out with the old, in with the new. Rain's motto I have decided. I think I will make it mine too :)
