Umbrellas don't work

The rain came down in sheets. Oh, it wasn't so bad when the day started, it was sort of a heavy drizzle but bareable. After my first class though, it didn't even matter if you had an umbrella or not. For me, who had an umbrella, it's really hard to block rain that falls sideways. My shoes were soaked after half a block. I shrugged it off, that was pretty normal. Then my pants, then my tshirt, and then my face. Not only was the umbrella useless by that point, but I assumed the mini hurricane like winds would destroy my umbrella. I just closed the umbrella and sneered all the way home.

My first class was interesting. Apparently Drexel has decided that regular desks aren't good enough for students, instead, they implemented these hard wood metal caged row seats that suck so much. You're pretty much forced to sit up straight because your legs can't move more then two inches. If someone is sitting in the middle of the row, everyone else has to get up to let them out. There's no other way.

The teacher is rather interesting too. The first thing I keyed in on him saying was that this comp sci class is not coding oriented. I cheered silently to myself. He proceeded to talk in the most cryptic way possible. I cryed silently to myself. Then I just phased out, my A.D.D. taking over and my thoughts drifted to about how I have A.D.D.

My night class was just as interesting. Again, the same prison like row seating was implemented in the classroom. This time it was worse though, because the class was literally full, every seat was taken. I had to get up about 8 times to let people come in and out.

Since it's a software engineering class, we spent most of the time talking about way the design process is important and relating it to real life job examples. I found the professor's tales amusing. After three internships, I could relate his stories to my own.

Blah blah blah, the segue from rain to class didn't work, did it?
