Today started with a tour of a book manufacturing plant. I had never thought about what it takes to make a book before, so I was pretty amazed by the massive amount of machinery that goes into each book.
I will never complain about the cost of a textbook again. Seriously, there were things buzzing,whirling, stamping, and beeping… it was like an academic Wonka factory, with honking forklifts…
After the tour I worked and then went to school.
I had Professional Responsibility today. Halfway through the class I heard a rumbling noise from outside—it was pouring—and of course my umbrella was at home.
Luckily, the rain paused to let me get home from school, but then started again (had how!) once I got home.1
After two hours of waiting it out, I finally took the dog on a very soggy walk. Harley was so excited to get dried off afterward that he jumped up and did a little “Look I’m Dorothy ala The Wiz!” heel click… hm. Yes it was odd.
Hopefully things dry out tomorrow.
1Um, dear Mother Nature: I have a dog to walk. I’m going to need more than a 10 minute break okay?

Did you see any Oompa Loompas or Chumba Wumbas (family guy reference)? LOL…
