Freezinggg in the Rain..

- What’s up with the weather in Virginia lately? Relaxing in the warm sun on Monday, putting on our rain boots, warm clothes, coats, and opening umbrellas on Tuesday, by Wednesday one would think it’s Christmas morning, and by Thursday, everyone is sick. And what’s even more bizarre is the fact we (myself, and the other residential students here at Richard Bland College) have to walk to class regardless. Imagine walking in 18 degree weather for over 10 minutes to go to a pointless class that only last 50 minutes. The only thing that would come out of that experience is a red nose and a slight cold afterwards. Commuters have the advantage to come and go as they please, and crank the heat up as we freeze. I strongly believe that either we, the residential students get to drive to class or even use some of that good old tuition to invest in “E- Z Up’s” which are basically shelters to protect from the rain or snow during an event, but in this case while we’re walking to class. Matter of fact I have a better idea, run shuttle buses on campus to pick us up and drop us off every 15 like downtown bus lines. Until then, I guess it’s just take the risk of getting sick, or just not show up to class today. Which would you choose?
