My Morning Rant

This morning was quite possibly the most miserable morning I’ve had in a long time.  Why, you ask?  It just was.  I woke up somewhat late for my morning class.  Knowing this, I had to rush to shower and get ready (which I never enjoy doing).  Not realizing for some reason that it was raining outside, I walked out without an umbrella.  Fabulous.  It was too late to head back upstairs, grab my umbrella and leave… so I just kept trudging through the rain with no hood, and no way to protect myself from the rain.  Normally, I keep my ID on a keychain with my keys.  As I continued to walk to class, however, I realized that my ID was missing.  I began to shuffle through my backpack, pockets, and small purse.  It was nowhere to be seen.  Knowing that I could not walk across campus without my ID because then I wouldn’t even be able to get back into my apartment later on.  Rather than making my entire day miserable, I suffered through the morning and began to backtrack.  It wasn’t on the sidewalk that I was just walking on, not in the grass, or on the sidewalk going perpendicular to the other one.  Finally I found in the cross walk in the middle of the street.  What I didn’t see was the car passing me, and splashing the dirty, black, grimy, rain water from the street all over me.  In my boots, and saturating my shirt, jeans, and socks.  At this point I was trying not to swear or curse that car out.  So what did I do?  I started walking to my class again, while talking to myself.  I was fully aware that there were people giving me odd looks because I was being odd.  I did not care.  I was now ten minutes late to class, and was going to show up looking like a dirty, wet, smelly mop.  What was the point in even rushing in the morning to shower?  If I had known what would happen, I would not have.
