Anti-Focus

When first deciding back in May that I was for sure going to leave Toronto for Vancouver, I was warned. I was warned about the following:

1) Rain. From what I initially heard was that I would never see day light, there was never a point in time where it wasn't raining, it's so depressing because all the rain. RAIN. RAIN. RAIN. Bring tons of umbrellas, you can only wear rain boots. RAIN.

2) You will never want to leave. It's like saying "Once you go black you never go back" ...... But in a geological term... "Once you go WEST you never go back... East?" Well, I've always heard good things about the west coast and how it's all chill (we all know why)

3) You might become too chill. And after them explaining to you about how it'll be no good- they say "So... when you come back for Thanksgiving... bring me back some."

ANYWAY how this ties in with me not focusing. The rain. It's been raining everyday, almost non-stop for the past 2 weeks. I don't know what to do with myself.
Not only do I not enjoy going out for smokes on my patio, but I can't ever tell the time of day and it's seriously throwing me off. I slept from 3am-8am this morning, was late for class, then came back and slept from 11am-4pm. WTF!? It's completely messed up my schedule.

I can't focus on one set thing because all my attention is on the question "WHEN IS IT GOING TO STOP RAINING!?!?" I wake to a light glare that reflects off of the grey clouds around 7am and by the time I'm out the door at 8:50 it's dark. I go into classes at 8:30 and get out at 11:30 and it's even darker.
I don't believe that Vancouver (during the winter months) actually has a sun rise, mid day, sun set. It just has bright glare, dull dim glare, and suicide glare... with three variations of precipitation: the "if you were dumb enough to straighten your hair this morning you're fucked" light rain, the "good luck with enjoying you're day because this rain will ruin it for you" constant rain, and finally the "avoid even going outside today because you will drown in tidal waves that the taxi's make after driving over a pot hole too fast" torrential downpour rain.

In the mean time I have resorted to sleeping during odd hours, ordering delivery, only asking that one question... "WHEN IS IT GOING TO STOP RAINING!!?"......... and clubbing but that's a different story.
