It has been raining almost constantly for the past few days. I love the rain but for some reason I am ready for the summer. Don't know why I and I'll probably be complaining about it in a month or two. I have to go to the mall today, I have very mixed feelings about them. there are two big malls in the capital area and a few smaller, I am going to the biggest one because it is the only one I can take a bus straight to. also it has my favorite bookstore and a good cafe but that is ...
