Description This is Normal - New comics every Monday and Friday!

Walking to uni is probably going to lose a lot of it's appeal once colder weather really starts setting in - especially considering the state of my shoes at the moment.

On the bright side though, it does mean that I'm getting regular exercise now, so maybe after a couple months that'll start to show some sort of impact weight-wise. Alexx already thinks I look thinner, but I don't really see it.

It's always wise for you Brits to invest in a good umbrella.

I go to a small school (and live on campus), and generally you can get anywhere in about 25 minutes on foot. The signs at the campus bus stops advertise that a bus comes every 27 minutes, so unless you can see it down the street the next one is probably 26.5 minutes away. 

If you've got to go out when it's raining, you're kinda screwed either way.

I live about a 15/20 minute walk from campus, and while there is a bus that could get me there in a minute or two, it's got a similar regularity issue that your bus does. Except this one is run by a company known for the latest/disappearance of it's buses.

After living in New Mexico for several years, I welcome rainy days and prefer walking in it as opposed to the heat stroke-inducing sunlight. ^^

Yeh, but if I'm looking side on to the sun, it gets in through the side!

True. That's why I usually have wrap around sunglasses

timsplosion In reply to Tearahk [2014-10-21 22:04:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeh, but they're always too small for my head! Like, trousers and shoes, I can understand not finding stuff in my size cos I'm tall - but height apparently brings with it a proportionately larger head. XP

Yeh, it always makes me need a shower - and I don't get why, cos rain's just water. XP Friggin' annoying.
