Biking to college in the rain
I remember there was time when i was in college when I would ride my bike to classes. Not exactly a shocker is it, a college student riding a bike to campus. Of course I lived 25 miles from campus, so it was not a minor undertaking.
I remember one semester I had Latin at 7:00 Monday through Thursday. The instructor was a very kind older woman who we all loved and respected a great deal. I got up one morning at 4:30, as I always did on days I would ride to campus, fixed myself an egg and cheese on toast sandwich and got on my bike by 5. This particular day it was raining steadily, and needless to say I was quite thoroughly soaked by the time I reached class. Despite the rain I made good time this morning and arrived well before anyone else. I sloshed into my normal front-row seat and put my head down in the mostly dark classroom and promptly fell asleep.
I was awoken by my kindly professor - at the end of class. She gently told me that perhaps that night I should get more sleep, because she liked it when I participated in class.
