Anticlimatic

No, that isn't a typo in the title, I'm just making up that word.  Because that's how I'm feeling today.

I don't normally complain about stuff like weather or traffic, but ...  It's like this:  I have never in my life complained about bubonic plague either, but if I ever get ill with that disease myself, I probably will complain about it.  And what this climate did to me today didn't hurt me any less than bubonic plague could.

My photography class meets again on Saturday, and I have prints due in class that day, and I woke up extra early this morning, hoping to shoot the last bracket of frames before my usual Monday (and this semester my usual Monday starts really early---my first class is at 9:25 AM already).

And the sun decided to not rise this morning.

And this is about the climate in general, and not just about today's weather:  I have set an alarm on every one of my off days for the last three weeks, and I have seen the sun on exactly two of those days (which were the days when I shot the first few frames).  I still need at least one more sunny day, which is why I finally broke down and decided to try it today---a working day---even though it's generally a bad idea to handle fragile equipment (such as a camera) just before doing Math.

And here's what makes it even worse:  I'm still pretty slow in the darkroom, so I can't exactly afford to wait patiently all week, so if I don't get good negatives by Wednesday afternoon, then I'll have to go ahead and print from bad negatives already  :(

So that's how my day was:  I made up a new word today:  "Anticlimatic".
