After the Rain

Last Thursday, school was cancelled when a typhoon hit Tokyo. I woke up around 8 O'Clock to and flipped out, thinking that I had overslept. Then, seeing the winds whipping around outside, I asked Mom what was going on. She then told me that school had been cancelled because of a typhoon. How ridiculous! Sure there were some pretty severe winds outside, and there was a little bit of rain. But it would not have been terribly difficult to commute. The storm lasted until about 11 O'Clock, and then cleared up completely, leaving me with a beautiful day and no school! Huge storms never last very long, and when they are over, you are almost always left with a gorgeous and spectacularly clear sky.
