First let me ask, who thought that there was going to be snow on Friday? Like, seroiusly, we live in TEXAS! Why would it snow here in the first place? Nevertheless, I was confident in the weather’s snow-creating abilities. By the end of Thursday, I consulted the evidence and concluded that it was indeed, going to snow tomorrow. In preparation, I did all my homework, I mean all of it, and stayed up about 45 minutes later.
I awoke at first at 6:30, my normal sectional time. My mom told me that there was a late start the night before, and I changed the wrong alarm. After that, I was awoken again a 8:30, the late start time. My mom told me that there was no school that day. My instincts made me look out side to what-do-you-know, snow! It was not something to behold, but come on! Snow! I couldn’t believe my eyes!
Later, I woke up around 10:30 to see the snow was still there. Earlier that week, I said that I would be content if I could make 1 snowball. It looked to me that my requirement would be met. I made a grand total of 10 snowballs, ten times that of my requirement. My dad had the great idea to make a “Texas sized” snowman. I took four of my snowballs and then promptly threw one at my dad. We arranged the snowman on top of our mailbox as shown here:
As you can see, it is of the very finest type of snowman complete with a saggy carrot nose. I’m glad we got a picture, because it fell apart quickly afterwards.
I went to school on Monday as usual, but little did I know how ice can cause a snow day just as easily as snow.
So this is today. A day that can barely be qualified as day-off worthy. It went pretty much the same as Friday, but with more uncertainty. I awoke early, the went back to sleep as for a late start day. Then amazingly, I woke up again right at the time when I needed to get up. I was a little concerned that I had slept in and needed to rush for the bus. But that was not the case! My mom, the informer of all weather related events, told me that there was indeed going to be no school today.
What did you do today and Friday to celebrate the day off? Did you frolic in the snow/sleet like me? Did you sit around and be lazy like me? Whatever you did, just remember to look out for things that make your life AWESOME!
