I'm so excited that I get the day off. And yes, I did just get off of a two week winter vacation, only went to two days of school- and then promptly got a snow day. Spoiled? I think not. I recently re-learned that school is not my favorite thing in the world of me. Nope.
And then- a glimmer of hope, a sparkle in the depths of night!- a teacher mentioned that a possible sow-day-inducing ice storm was on it's way. This is good news (obviously) but also a bit od bad news to me. I worry myself to insanity when this is announced. I want the day so badly, to sleep in and laze about. Firstly I debate with myself whether to put off my homework on a gamble or not. Usually I do, and then I fret about it, figuring out which class or lunch I can do the homework in if we do have school. Then comes sleep-time. I have the oddest dreams on snow-day-eves. I can't sleeep well, I toss and turn, then wake up early and check my computer for closings. Usually not many are up at that time in the morning. I go back to "sleep" and lie there until my alarm goes off. I immediatly get angry at the alarm- I mean really angry. I then either press snooze and feel guilty about messing up my morning scheduel if we have school, or check the computer again. Today it said closed for mine. Okay, no school, so now I'm so riled up and lacking the ability to sleep- the pivitol reason that I wanted the darn day off in the first place is ruined. And now I have a load of put-off homework to do as well.
Yay, snow day...
But, anyways, I was talking to some of my classmates yesterday about snow-day tactics. You know, the silly things that little kids do to assure themselves a snow day by tributing everything to great mother nature? I found quite a lot of new ones that were hilarious. The classics I knew, but here's everything:
- Wear your P.J's inside out (and backwards). This one I knew about, and I would hope that eeryone knows this one. Classic. Some say the (and backwards) part is also neccessary, but I think this part is balogna. It's like a double-negative, it cancels itself out if you do both.
- Open the freezer/fridge and do the hokey-pokey in front of it before bed. Knew this one too.
- Sleep with a spoon under your pillow. Sort of knew of this, never tried it before, though.
- Flush ice cubes down the toilet. A new one, and I snorted when I heard of it. How odd is this one? The girl said she'd googled for snow-day remedies and this one came up. No specification as to how many cubes, though.
- And lastly, another new one. Take a white crayon and put it in the freezer for a few hours, until it's frozen pretty good. Place under your pillow when you go to sleep. I think this one is cute!
So yeah, go snow!
