Dear WeatherDude,

I have lived in Champaign all 15 and 3/4 years of my life, and never have I seen such strange weather as I saw today.

Of course I know that in C-U the outside temperature changes more often than Britney Spears’ marital status, but come on.

First it was rain, then hail, then snow, and more rain … all within sixth period. And then the sun came out!

Are you having mood swings? Because I know I speak for many people when I say that I don’t appreciate you taking out your anger on us. It’s simply impolite.

Seriously. It’s the end of April, and I am really looking forward to summer. There’s only one more month of school, but this weather is really making me feeling like I’ll never reach the end.

Also, I know you aren’t so involved in this, but what was up with that earthquake? I suppose it was kind of cool to experience it, but 4 a.m. is taking it too far.

So, you can also inform Ms. CrustEarthy that she can expect a letter of complaint from me. There’s really no denying that that was her fault.

OK, I’ll agree to stop making bad puns as long as you agree to make it a little more pleasant around here. All I’m asking is for a few more degrees Fahrenheit. Is it really so difficult to push a few clouds out of my way?

Lots of love,

Anna

P.S. This is probably a bit too much to ask, but is there any way you can eliminate those UV rays? I burn quite easily.
