Rain, Rain, Go Away

It has rained ALL DAY. 

I shouldn't be too surprised. Very few days go by here that it doesn't rain, but usually it's a sporadic thing. Take yesterday for example. I woke up at around 7 and it was snowing. Hard. Lots of snow falling. It hasn't snowed here at all. From what I hear it rarely snows. The snow wasn't sticking, but big thick flakes were tumbling down. I went back to bed, as I didn't have class and couldn't think of any good reason to be awake so early when it was so cold. When I woke up again 2 hours later there was bright sunshine. Crystal clear blue skies, sun shining. When I went outside it was a nice temperature that only required a sweatshirt. Hahaha...ohhh Ireland. I e-mailed my mom and told her that it would probably be hailing by lunch. It was. Lunch time exactly, skies opened up, heavy rain, hail. Followed by a sudden stop, return to bright skies. It blew my mind, and it was only lunchtime. A few hours later I witnessed a phenomenon that I have waited my entire life to see. I was able to locate the exact start of a rain cloud. As I walked back from the park it was raining on one side of the road, crystal clear on the other. This of course means RAINBOW, which is always exciting. 

So this is why I am so fascinated by the fact that it has been raining, heavily, all day. We didn't have any periods of slight rain or dreariness. Instead heavy rain, constantly falling. 

Is this a boring entry? Probably. But I assure you, it's been blowing my mind all day. To the point where I haven't been able to research and write my papers.
