Rainy Days and Frogs

So it has been overcast and raining here the past 2 weeks. We had the worst lighting storm I have ever seen about a week ago. Our building was shaking because of the thunder, the power went out, and the lighting was hitting the soccer field about 100 yards behind my window. Pretty much I do not like the rain and would love to see the sunshine.

Because it has been so rainy, many animals have decided the dorms would be a better home--especially the frogs. On Sunday, a very large frog decided to make our bathroom its home. It positioned itself up against the wall so it would stare at us as we came down the hallway. It was rather gross. Late Sunday night we could not find the frog in the bathroom anymore, so we thought it was gone but we were wrong. On Monday night, I walked into the bathroom with my friend Emma and opened a stall door. The frog was sitting right there in front of the toilet! We ran out screaming. It jumped outside the stall, but was blocking our way to any stalls. We had to go get the hale dad (the dad over our dorm) to get the frog out. He chased it out with a big broom. He said the frog was the largest he had ever seen!

On Tuesday, I was talking to a girl in our hallway (one of the other 3) and I was telling her about our encounter with the frog. She then said that she had seen the frog in the bathroom earlier on Monday, but it had been in the toilet. GROSS!!! I do not like that a frog lived in our bathroom for a day, but it was also in a toilet. We have found 3 other frogs in the hallway since and scream every time we see them, but luckily they are not as large.
