Wellies.

Well the day started off okay, minus the tons of work that I have ahead of me for the week. Two of my classes were canceled today. It was raining. I like the rain. Especially when I can wear my wellies and walk through the deep puddles.

Successfully avoided a lot of my work today. Got approved to go on a spring attachment abroad to England, Ireland, and Scotland this summer. All I have to do now is fill out the application and figure out how to pay for it.

Now I'm sad because I don't know how to cheer my best friend up and that hurts.

I was told today by Elissa to thank the Duke for the word "wellies" which no one uses in the USA, but I'm gonna bring it back. You learn something new every day. Here's what I learned thanks to Elissa and wherever she got the quote from:

"The Wellington boot, also known as wellies, are a type of boot based upon leather Hessian boots. They were worn and popularized by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. This novel "Wellington" boot then became a fashionable style emulated by the British aristocracy in the early 19th century."
