Rain, Rain Go Away!

Apparently Sacramento isn't so wonderful in winter. It has been raining, and raining, and raining here! I have been told this is how it is every year at this time. To understand, a little geography lesson is in order. So, Sacramento is located at the foothills of the Sierra Mountain Range. Which means when it is snowing in the Sierra's it is usually raining in the foothills. A good thing for all the ski resorts located in Tahoe and various places, but a little bit of a downer when you are in Sac. The few moments that the sun has managed to peek through everyone is outside and taking it all in. I did enjoy the occasional thunderstorm, but this isn't even that, it's just RAIN! Oh well, I guess I'll have to get some rain gear and get used to it.

Other news: My job is going great! It got off to a very slow start, just learning the basics of what I am to be doing, but now I am really getting into it and enjoying it. I hope to be able to get more hours now that I have gone through the basic training.

Since I am not taking classes this quarter, the days that I don't work have been pretty boring. I am usually spending my time thinking of all the crafts and etc. that I could tackle, but most of it doesn't get done! The nice thing about the quarter system, I am finding out, is that there isn't too much time missed if you don't go a quarter. I can't wait until classes start in April though, and I can have more to do. UCDavis has a neat recreation program, so I think I am going to take a knitting class for a couple of days, to help pass some of my time for now. I had a hard time deciding which one of their classes I wanted to take, but ultimately it came down to which one was on my list and was most affordable. Easy Knit Hats won so I'll have to show my progress once I get started.
