Why do I keep finding rivers in the wrong places?

Someone went swimming at school today. For those of you who have been lucky enough to go to or have attended a school which is rich enough to afford a swimming pool, this might not be quite so strange. However, when its break time at 11:10am and that someone is swimming in what once could be described as a path connecting one building to the next because someone offered him £2.50 (he could have at least done it for a tenner-what a pillock!) it could be seen be slightly abnomal. Yes, it rained today. I mean properly rained! Actually, it was hailing at one point. Yes it is May. We get some crackin weather up here like! (Slightly Geordie-esque that was. I'm back to normal now.) Anyway, it was absolutey bucketing it, slightly monsoon-ish for a few minutes, and then turned into a normal English downpour for quite a while. But you wouldn't think that the school would have 8 inches of water over the path, or that it would be coming into the school from the roof so that half of the main hall was blocked off because it was covered in water. Or that the building site on school would actually look like a lake! Or that the road leading into the school was flooded. Or that the path leading from the road into the school had a river running down it. Man I go to a good school. Thankfully all of my lessons this morning meant that I could stay in A-block, which thankfully consists of the cantene and common room as well so I didn't have to leave my dry haven until after lunch when it had stopped raining. Actually the sun was shining again and the swimming pool had dissapeared. What a shame I didn't have to wade through all that to get to music! And its raining again now. I think I may go to school with slightly more waterproof feet tomorrow.
