My school called a snow day today. Unfortunately, it’s not one of those wake-up-to-see-a-winter-wonderland snow days. It was just a layer of ice covering the roads. If I was younger, I would be celebrating right now. I woke up after a two-hour delay, got dressed, and then checked the school website after being prompted by my sister.
Seeing that school was closed, the first thing I thought to myself was that my Student Council meeting today was canceled, and how disappointed I was. I’ve come so far. Snow days now make me angry rather than joyous, not due to missed class, but to canceled meetings.
We had similar icy-death conditions. But our board is too thick headed to notice the pain from slipping and landing on cold pavement. So we had school.
