You know the phrase, "when it rains it pours?" Here's the thing: I hate rain. Here's why...

Yesterday, my car decides it is time for the transmission to die. Yes, practically die instantaniously. It BARELY made it to AAMCO this morning. Along with the joy of my car dying, my cell phone has decided that it feels like only using analog in my room. So I have to sit in the kitchen to get any decent signal. This morning I had to miss class to get my car to the shop. And then I decided to jog home so I could get to my next class. Problem: it was raining (I hate rain.) And, due to avoiding a cat that decided to dart in my way, I rolled my ankle. This likely sprained it. It hurts. And then I had to ride the bus ride from hell, where the driver kept slamming on the brakes, causing me to roll the ankle again. Thus I sat in my class (which I arrived to late, due to the bus being dysfunctional and insanely late) with a pain radiating up my leg. On the break in class, I found out that it is gonna cost a minimum of $1400 to fix my car. This led to a headache.

So, at the midday point, my head hurts, my ankle hurts, my leg hurts, my car is busted, my cell phone hates me and I have a presentation to have ready by 6:30.

By the end of the day (now) I dealt with my ankle (wrapped it in an ace bandage), survived a presentation in my Tech. Comm. class (and only got about 30 negative comments that I don't know if I could possibly have fixed in advance.) And I am only in mild amounts of pain at the moment (this was worse while I was standing and presenting, but it is not bad when I sit.)

However, I still hate the rain...
