what I learned today

They say you learn something new everyday. Today I learned that my schoolbag is not waterproof. Out of necessity to get to class, I treaded through the thick downpour earlier this afternoon, reaching maximum soakage after a mere minute and a half. As if my drooping clothing and soggy socks were not enough to distract me from the lecture of a rather handsome middle-aged professor, I discovered that the entire contents of my bag had not withstood the torrential rain. Notebook pages began to curl, causing my anal-retentive side to emerge. I will not survive the semester looking at such wreckage. My mental health is at stake.
