Rainy Tuesday

The weather in the UAE has the weirdest mood swings I've ever seen!
A normal day can start off being sunny, then converging slowly to being cloudy, and gradually going back to being sunny again. But it doesn't end there; all of a sudden, the weather could take a sharp turn into being sooo windy you can barely walk from A to B. Finally, it could totally catch you off guard by raining, with a duration from five to fifteen minutes! (Yes, people. Believe it or not, it does rain here.) Oh, and let's not forget the occasional fog, which is definitely an unwanted guest.
So in short, when you come to the UAE, it's most likely that you experience the four season in one week. Heck you can experience them in one day! Sub7an Allah!

So, I had an 8:00am-class this morning, and only three of us showed up five minutes before the class. We started tempting eachother to leave and force the professor to cancel the class, since it's raining outside. (Madri shdakhal el mu6ar bel maw'6oo3 ;P) After convincing eachother, we decided to stand outside the classroom and dismiss the rest of our classmates. (walla 6la3at mo hayna eli weyay; bedoon thekr asami heheh) To tell you the truth, we were hoping that the professor himself wouldn't show up, you know, because of the rain.

Well, people don't always get what they hoped for. The professor showed up a few minutes after 8:00. We were four students by then, and around six or seven were standing outside the building. So, we started explaining to him that many of us are stuck in traffic jams, because of the rain. (la 9ej, this was true) The professor finally decided to cancel the class, and substitute it next week with one of our lab hours. Fair enough. We're not complaining. He even asked the four of us to come sign our names on the attendance sheet; perhaps it's for some bonus points? Heheh la a9adeg wayed ;p

I got to mention that this week has been the week of canceling classes for this professor. On Sunday, class was canceled because the professor had to go out of town, for a conference, I guess. Yesterday, our lab session was canceled because the lab instructor lost his voice. Hehehe 7aram, bas we were lucky enough :P

I think this is as good as it gets with this course. So I'm not gonna get my hopes up so much in the future!
