Tut-tut, It Looks Like Rain

"Christopher Robin! I think it would help with this deception if you would just kind of open your umbrella and say, 'Tut-tut, it looks like rain.'" said Winnie the Pooh.
And so Christopher Robin said, "Tut-tut, it looks like rain. Tut-tut, it looks like rain."

The path, yes there is a path there, to the marine sciences buildings.

The wet season is here!  It has been constantly raining for the past few days, the creeks have overflown and turned into raging rivers.  The grounds have become completely saturated and are speckled with puddles much deeper than they seem.  By the time we get to class we are drenched, no longer from sweat, but from the rain because no matter how prepared we are it seems we still get quite wet on the long walks to class and home.  It has at the very least, been encouraging to stay inside and do the work that has been lurking in the shadows during sunny days.  And at most it is a warm rain, perfect for playing in.  Cricket in the rain is a bit difficult to play but running through the crater-sized puddles makes it that much more fun and skimboarding is a great way to spend an hour breaking from studying.  And with at least two more weeks of this ahead, one must at least be grateful that we don't have to worry about a drought!
