My Insights

It was probably the worst day to wake up 25 minutes before class when your commute to school is 20 minutes by itself. Anyhow, its 11:35 and my mom wakes me up wondering if I have class today. It takes me 10 seconds to realize what is going on and then I just jump off the bed in a rush. I brush my teeth, change my clothes, and am out in the next 15 minutes. Mind you it’s 11:50 by now and my class is at 12:00.

The worst was yet to come. I look outside and everything is convered in snow. Aw man! Luckily, I had parked my car inside the garage so no car cleaning involved (phew!). Anyways, I set out on my daily commute to school and it was hard to go 20mph without having your car slip.

I decide to take I-95 just like I do everyday and to my surprise, it was jammed. However, the jams were temporary as within 3 miles, I saw at least 10 cars and trucks on the median or the shoulder with at least 6 police cars and 5 fire trucks. All together there might have been 4-5 separate incidents.

Long story short, a 20 minute commute took me an hour.

The weather is still cold and will stay cold over the spring break … call that fun for people not going to the beach? Besides I think we all need a week to recuperate from what these past 2-3 weeks have done to us.

It snowed last night and I love to watch snow (as long as I don’t have to clean it off my car or shovel it from the driveway). I am waiting for Chirstmas now and I hope that it’s a white Christmas too. It just puts you in the right mood. Anyways, I have a semi-interesting story. At work, our stock room is not insulated. So I’ve stopped selling stuff that requires me to go to the stock room. This includes most DVD players and VCRs. So the next time I tell you that the item is not in stock, just assume that I am very afraid of the cold.

I think that the weather is just way too cold.

I was on I-95, going back home when the storm hit. I admit it was a little cloudy earlier and I was expecting some rain but the amount of rain that poured down was unbelievable. A lot of people just pulled over to wait for the worst to pass by. I also heard a lot of interesting stories like logs falling down on the roads and no power in certain areas. I think they even closed down some parts of 495 because some power cables fell down. Nature is very powerful.

First of all, this rainy business has got to stop real soon or I’ll shoot somebody. Is this what a summer looks like? No! not at all. The weather should force us to pack our bags and go to the beach or take a trip to the amusement park. This freaking chilly and rainy weather sucks and I can’t take it any more. The worst thing about the rainy weather besides the damp clothes is the fact that a million worms crawl out of nowhere onto the streets and the sidewalks. It was so hard for me to walk from the Stamp Union to my parking lot after work just because I had to walk darn slow and make sure that I don’t kill any of these stupid little worms. Not only do I not want to commit the sin of murder, I just don’t want to clean their gooey mess from my shoes if I do step on them.

In India, our garage used to get full of these stupid worms and I used to freak out as a kid because I considered them the babies of dangerous snakes. This nightmarish disgust for worms has stuck through ever since.
