I believe this would be the second time I am talking about the weather. The first time was in "Alameda Weather." This time I, am going to talk about how the rain ruined most of my plans. It all started with the week of finals. My resources and I confirmed that it did in fact rain at least one time a day for the whole week we had taken our finals. On Friday I had it all planned out. A super fun day that would begin immediately after school. And because we (the students) get out early during the week of finals, and because Thursday was the last day of finals, the fun was awaiting for me to greet it. Unfortunately, the ground outside was wet after school. My friends and I had made arrangements to skate(board) around the Main Island. But, because of the wet ground, it discouraged me to meet with my friends because I do not enjoy getting my board wet and rusty (it causes the board to function worse than normal) because I will just have to buy new parts to replace the water/rust damaged one. That was not the only thing that kept me from going. My mother just "shut me down" by saying that she needed me at home to babysit my sister because she was going to a Golden State Warriors game with my father later on. All that I could think to myself at the moment was, "Thanks a lot rain."
The next day would be better. There was no way I would let water get in the way of me releasing the stress from my mind and body that the full week of finals had caused. I got prepared for fun at high noon and was ready for fun in "T-1hour." By approximately twelve thirty, it rained, hard. But, thank God, by 1:00 p.m, the sun came out and saved the day. The sidewalks were dry and ready by 2:00 p.m, and I was with my friends and out of the house by 2:50 p.m. That day was worth waiting for. I was with a lot of friends that day (unfortunately some missed out). We found a really good empty parking lot with alright concrete (not entirely smooth), it had painted knee-high ledges, and small(ish) drops. To sum it all up, it was our perfect little oasis.
