"Tut tut, it looks like rain"

I truly feel sorry for those poor souls who were disillusioned into thinking that Ithaca is always this beautiful sunny paradise, as the weather during Cornell Days (an event for accepted students in April) would suggest. You see, every single year, the President of Cornell is always actually a wizard, who wards off all bad weather for the 3 weeks of Cornell Days. It constantly rains until the event begins, and the moment it ends, rain comes back (I considered the mad-scientist with a weather machine explanation, but decided that this was more in the vein of popular culture). These past three weeks have been not unlike Cornell Days, with only one or two rainy days, and only a couple of cloudy days.

I am so sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this Cornell that you may, by now, have come to love, is completely different. I'm willing to wager that today (a rainy looking day, as foreshadowed by this post's title) is the start of the actual (as opposed to fantasy) weather in Ithaca. I really cannot properly predict though, as this haiku will explain:

Ithaca's weather's
More random than even the
Following haiku

And the following haiku:

Monosyllabic
Socioeconomic
Hippopotamus


Yeh, pretty random right? Well, just wait for the wrath of Ithaca's weather.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to try to get off of central campus and back to my dorm before I am stranded in the Olin library by downpour.

TTFN!

And if you don't know the source of my title, I am greatly disappointed in you. It is from no other than Winnie the Pooh, a classic childhood story/show.
