Being from southern California I am used to the arid climate there. Hawaii to me, conjured up images of bright sunny beaches with a warm climate and a cool breeze. However, to my surprise, this was not always the conditions I was in. In the fall semester there was actually a lot of rain, almost every day it would rain a little and occasionally it would just pour on us. At one point the storm was so bad (or good, I like storms) that it knocked out power to Kane'ohe for a few hours. I carry an umbrella with me in my pack every time I go to class, just in cause I may need to walk back to my hall in the rain.<br /><br />At first the rain was very interesting to me, when I would hear it start raining, I would run to the window to watch, now I just mostly ignore it. Occasionally though, it will rain hard enough to warrant a look.<br />
