Adventure Friday: In the Rain

TGIF

Big shocker, it’s raining in Seattle today. As my roommate Jenny and I were looking out of the large cafeteria windows at lunch, we were pondering fun activities to do in the rain. The clever child that lives within her helped me come up with these great activities. That is where this list spawned from…

Did I mention my rule?

No studying on Friday nights. It’s an obligation and I have no way out of it. I know, it’s really lame. I wish I could study on Friday nights, but I have no choice. I hope I am having an impression on you. And I hope you are catching my sarcasm. Is that allowed via web?

2. Play some sort of group activity in the rain i.e. frisbee or soccer

4. Take pictures of people wearing quirky rain boots
5. Count how many raindrops you can catch in your mouth
6. Watch movies that have anything to do with rain whether it be the title or a particular scene i.e. Singing in the Rain, The Notebook, Garden State
