... No, not classes.  The weather.  Thank god that it's turning sunny again, but I know Seattle's autumn/winter weather patterns.  Rain, rain, and more rain, with a side order of rain.

There was a time when I loved the rain, welcomed it as an excuse to stay inside.  But the more dissatisfied I become with that lifestyle, the more I come to hate the rain.  Worse, the clouds have always cast a shadow on my emotions - I just didn't care whether or not I moped as a kid.  Now I'm sick of it, literally and figuratively.  I don't want to live like this, sitting inside and/or flattened with yet another cold or flu.  I need sun, damn it!

For the first time in my life, I don't want to live in Seattle.  And that hurts because of how emotionally invested I am in this city.  But this just isn't going to work for the life I want, I don't think.  Time to look at grad schools in the American southwest.
