So I've come up with a reason for creating this second blog. Its because I can only post once on the flog, and often I go through the day with thoughts that I wish to share via these virtual diaries but can't because I've already uploaded those thoughts.
Today I came back to my apartment drenched. This morning the weather looked spectacular - bright, sunny and warm - so I didn't bring my umbrella along. Unforunately, towards the end of class, we heard the rumble of thunder and then that thick patter sound of pouring rain. I waited for about a half hour before heading out, when the rain eased to a gentle drizzle. My flip flops became slippery after ten minutes of walking, so I had to walk slowly so as not to fall on my face. I got about half-way to my place when it started to rain again. Thankfully, there was an awning nearby which I took cover under. I figured I'd wait there for ten minutes because my eighth grade science teacher (the dreadful Ms. Martin) once told us that thunder storms last about that long. She was wrong. Tired of lingering under this narrow awning, I decided to just power walk, despite the fear of losing the slippers. 10 minutes later, I made it to my place, jeans heavy and hair soaked.
I just watched Wheel of Fortune and witnessed a winner! Its been so long since I've seen the show, so to see someone win $100K was pretty cool. Wheel of Fortune brings two distinct memories to mind. When my sisters and I were younger, we used to visit my uncles and aunt (who lived together until their spouses came from India a few years later) and they were obsessed with Wheel of Fortune. The second memory is that of my sixth grade language arts teacher, Mrs. Mercer, who was once a contestant on the show. Every Friday we would play Hangman (which I guess is a form of the game) and win prizes. Those were some wonderful times.
