Let it snow
Tomorrow’s a snow day!
Yes, believe it or not, Uni is finally having a snow day. In fact, it’s the first one since 1999. I first heard the news from a friend while walking towards Kenney after school. Initially, I couldn’t believe it. The weather seemed perfectly fine, maybe even a little warmer than usual. Why would we have a snow day? However, after Doug jogged by and verified the fact, I was ecstatic. I don’t have to do any homework tonight!
According to weather.com, we’re supposed to get four to six inches of snow overnight. Personally, I am really tired of the snow. Just this morning, I was thinking about how wonderful life would be if it was summer. No heavy coats, no soggy snow on the ground, no need to walk carefully in order not to slip on ice and embarrass myself. It’s been so cold that my hair freezes on the way from Kenney to DCL after a morning shower. Sure, the first snowstorm of the season was nice, but the remnants of dirty, squishy snow on the ground and everlasting frigid temperatures are starting to be a pain.
However, the cancellation of school allowed me to see everything in a new light. Maybe the predicted snowstorm won’t be so bad after all. Not that I completely dislike going to school, but I think that as overworked Uni students, we could all use an extra day off.
This snow day will also make the rest of the week go so much faster. We’ve only got Wednesday and Thursday left after this. Friday is a half-day and next week is Agora week! Surely we’ve all been looking forward to that.
Enjoy the snow day tomorrow, guys. Sleep in, go sledding, make a snowman, drink hot chocolate. It’s the first snow day in eight years, and it may well be the last that any of us will experience during our time at Uni.
