<p>anybody rethinking their desire for the UW due to the near-record rainfall? instaters wanna flee? OOSers can't take it? confess</p>
<p>Well, it's also been raining a lot in oregon lately so I've pretty much gotten used it.</p>
<p>welcome to life in the northwest..i'm used to lake effect snowfall in Ohio so compared to that this is quite mild.</p>
<p>Haha, I grew up in southern Orange County, CA -- it practically NEVER rained .. so I love it here =]
I'd love it even more if UW would just accept me!!</p>
<p>what is your strategy for enduring the waiting? do u plan to contact admissions? are u bracing yourself for a mar/apr decision? will u still accept UW if u hear from them on the late side? when is the housing stuff available, like, mar, right?</p>
<p>personally i dont mind the rain at all</p>
<p>i hate being hot....i'd much rather it be raining then it 80+ degrees out all the time</p>
<p>also it means more snow in the mountains which i like !</p>
<p>duh.....you live in the NW........you kind of have to like the rain</p>
<p>Just kidding. yea the rain gets a little old after awhile, but the weather is so nice the rest of the time...and its such a beautiful area. Couldn't imagine living anywhere else!</p>
<p>And it hasn't been raining <em>all</em> the time. Why, I saw a bit of blue sky only yesterday!</p>
<p>The rain is definitely getting old. I live on a lake and all of the docks are submerged under about 5 inches of water. Today was pretty dry where I live and there was even some sunny skies!! Although it is kind of dreary, all of the vegetation that I love wouldn't exist without the rain!</p>
