SNOW

Despite the caps used in the title, I'm NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT.

Snow decided to visit me last night, and I was not happy. I was sitting in my room, minding my own business, and I happened to glance out the window. It was about eight, so it's not like I could see anything, but there is a streetlamp near my window and I thought I saw flurries. Double-checked, and I was right. Sometimes, I hate it when I'm right. I generally bitched and moaned about it, but since there really wasn't anyone to bug, I complained to myself. I seem to do that a lot.

Anyways, I wake up this morning, and it's still. snowing.

Bah.

I called in to the number that you're supposed to call when it's nasty out to see if you still have class. I got this automated message stating that, yes, it's snowing out, and no, I can't stay home. All classes are still on and all school events will be held accordingly. So I get to bundle up in all of my winter gear and trudge through two feet of snow to class. Stupid uni.

I suppose I should be grateful that it hasn't snowed until now. People really do expect snow in December, after all, but I reserve the right to bitch about it. I think snow is the only thing I hate about living in Northeast USA. Everything else is great.

Sorry, needed to rant. I'll be back later if my fingers ever unfreeze.

This totally reminds of my Undergrad days in Northampton, Massachusetts. My school was apparently really anal about having snow days, so even when this big-assed ginormous (gigantic + enormous) ice storm hit, we still had class. I don't even know why they even teased us with the bad weather hotline- I think hell would literally have to freeze over before they'd let us off.

Yeah. My uni is USM, or University of Southern Maine, and we get craploads of snow here too. I know the lingo too XP Use it all the time up here. I sometimes confuse my cousins across the country when we talk, and he confuses me. When you live in one area for a long time, you adapt to their slang, and so when you hear other slang, you're like, what? X3

I think, if we had a big-ass snowstorm, I'd stay inside regardless. I have to walk around my entire campus to get to class, and then I need to take a bus to get to my other classes. If I'm gonna risk my life just to make it to Western Civ, then tough luck, I'm not going.
