Good news though: it is officially the "short rainy season" in Arusha. The four season system does not really exist here, rather there are three seasons: rainy, dry, and kind of rainy. The rainy season is in the spring (according to the northern hemisphere) but the rains are called "long rains." I'm assuming the rains last for several days at a time. The "short rains" that are occurring now, come once a day and last for maybe an hour. It is very unfortunate if you happen to get caught outside during the rain though, cause they're pretty vicious. The short rainy season is beneficial to the agriculture in Tanzania and all of those fun things.
Also good news: I'm going to Mombasa, Kenya from Wednesday to Saturday. I need a break from this school craziness and what better way to do so than to spend a few days on the beach?!
