Monday, Tuesday, Snow Day!

      Yesterday, on our fourth Snow Day of the school year, I was talking to my friend from swim team, and he said to me, "I really want another Snow Day tomorrow."
      I found myself agreeing with him. One just wasn't enough. Then I hesitated. This was our fourth Snow Day and I was complaining about wanting more. I realized even if the administration gives us an inch (or a Snow Day) we still complain. I cannot tell you how many people came up to me today in school and said how badly they wished we had a snow day:
      "The roads were so bad!"
      "I almost got into four car accidents!"
      "The administration is trying to kill us!"
      "It was like negative two degrees out there this morning!"
      The truth is that the roads were, for the most part, clear, it was twenty-five degrees outside, and relatively sunny. The worst part is when everyone knows there is a huge winter storm coming, and rumors of Mr. Kerul's Snow Day Probability start to spread around the school. If we don't get a Snow Day, everyone is miserable the next day for at least the first three periods. One of my friends even approached our vice principal and said how we totally should have had a Snow Day that day. Let's just say Dr. Koons wasn't all too happy about that, and said something along the lines of how us kids are never truly happy about Snow Days...we give you one and you just want more!
       After reflecting on this, I do see there's some truth in his statement. Yes, I am glad we had a Snow Day and yes, I am writing this blog and hoping tomorrow will be one, but what can I say? It's how we are.
