Rain rain go away!

So today.

Ben and Lisa (the philosophers) were enjoying a nice day outside while Lisa was enjoying her breakfast. Then Lisa felt a drop of rain and decided it would be a good time to go to Potomac South so she can make her bulliten board. Ben and Lisa go into the library, grab Ben's laptop and study things, then walk back to the door where they find...

A DOWNPOUR!!!!!!

Sigh. Horrible luck. They wait for a moment, decide they have no other choice but to venture out into the rain, and they walk out of the door into the horrible storm waiting for them.

They cross the Trible Plaza....

...run under the overhang of the DSU...

...rush through the openings of the overhang...

...stumble through the muddy grass to the concrete walkway...

...realize the concrete walkway is flooding and walk through the gravel-y part where Lisa gets mud and guck all in her flip flops..

...Lisa realizes that when she takes a step she slips out of her shoes, slowing them both down...

....and finally reach their destination completely SOAKED from the rain.

Deanna, Lisa's little, was working the desk at the time. She saw Lisa and Ben walk in looking horribly pathetic in wet clothes, and thought this was funny.

She was wrong.

Lisa and Ben did NOT find this amusing...except a little bit maybe...but what made it less funny was that the rain let up soon after Ben and Lisa got inside the building.

After some drying off, Ben left to go to Hampton while Lisa stayed in PoSo to make her May bulletin board. By the time Lisa was done with everything, it was raining again..but thankfully Krystal, Lisa's boss next year, was kind enough to drive her to her residence hall where she could change into dry clothes that fit her and did not look like bummy maternity wear.

It was quite the adventure...not a lot of philosophical thought process, but an adventure none the less with two great philosophers.



Here is a philosophy:

What was it that caused this sad sad situation to occur?

Was it bad luck? Were Ben and Lisa just both in the wrong place at the wrong time with no umbrellas just by happenstance?

Was it fate? Were Lisa and Ben meant to have a poopy time walking from the Library to PoSo because the gods decided it was to be so?

Was it karma? Had Ben or Lisa (most likely Ben) done something evil to deserve this to happen?

Something to think over.



And that's my new philosophy!
