Rainy days

It's a beautiful, blustery day here in Winchester. Last night a very windy thunderstorm hit the area and six dormitory windows were broken. At about four in the morning I heard a loud crash, and within a couple minutes my next door neighbor was knocking on my door to see if I was okay and to make sure that it wasn't my window that broke. How sweet. Turns out it was the student above me, poor thing.

Today is just as stormy, though not quite so windy. The rain is going in and out, never lasting for more than half an hour, and every so often a patch of sun sneaks through and the wet grass is incredibly green. I walked into town today in between rain clouds to get a couple groceries and saw all the locals with their umbrellas and boots, quite prepared for their typical 'England rain.' Right now though it's a perfect day for staying in and working on homework. I'm quite ready to send the next few hours, warm in my sweater and scarf, catching up on reading in my bed, listening to rainy day music like Jack Johnson and watching the blustery weather through my window. I love the rain.
