it was raining today. very heavy too. i think i spent more time in the rain than undercover. anyway, as it does when it rains the ground became very slippery so everyone had to be extra careful not to slip over (going to school on a hill makes this ten times harder). I ran through the rain all through lunch and morning tea and then during last session when i had biology i had to go out in the rain again without any cover to go fix some of the compost bins we're making for our assignment because the wind from last night had blown their lids off and most people know that when compost gets too wet it becomes smelly and doesn't work as well.

so yes i went out into the rain and then i was flipping the lids over and putting them back on the bins and then placing a brick over each lid to hold it in place. i had four others with me too from my group for the assignment and they were putting a bunch of stuff in our bin and then when we were walking back to class (in the rain) they were walking really slowly so they didn't fall over so i ran past them and they all got wet!!! when we got back to class i was talking about how my mum would probably get mad at me for getting wet all day unneccessarily (she thinks i'll catch a cold)so we decided i could just say that i had to go to the bins when really i volunteered so i could go in the rain again. very irresponsible of me i know but oh well! it was fun.

and then at the end of session as i was walking out of the school to go home and there is a small hill that you need to walk down to get to the car park and then as i was walking down the hill it was raining even heavier so i was thinking of how i wouldn't need my excuse anymore when i slipped!!! not only did i slip but because it was the end of the day everyone was walking around and they all saw me stack it. and then to make things worse i slid down the hill for a further metre before i had come to a stop. it was not fun!

and then i logged on msn this afternoon and the first thing my friend says to me is "haahaahaha did you have a nice fall??" talk about having a bad day. but at least we have cross country tomorrow. i'm not a fast runner, far from it but if we get to run in the rain then i'll really enjoy it. i love running in the rain- apparently it greatly reduces my chances of slipping over!
