Snow Day! (Kinda...)

I just don't know that there is anything more magical in the world than a snow day. No matter where you are in life when that message comes down from the office, "We're shutting down early," then it instantly becomes ok to become giddy and throw your hands up in the air and shout "Snow Day!"

The only problem with my snow day is that there is no snow. I live in San Antonio, Texas where it is currently 60+ degrees. I'm not complaining about that because having the option of wearing my turkey-eating shorts(short pants size >34 or w/elastic waistband) for Thanksgiving is awesome. Anyways, I was sitting in class totally bored with what was going on when a captain walked in, soaked from head to toe, and gave us the horrible news that we were all going to have to go home. Both hands immediately shot up in the air in the touchdown position and I said "Snow Day!" Of course the only downside was that then had to listen about how rain in Texas is the harbinger of death. Apparently, Texas is one giant flood plain and could be washed away at any moment. Then of course people had to be perplexed for twenty minutes about how it would affect the schedule. I just wanted to shout in their face, "Dude, Snow Day! Go home!" That of course would be incredibly rude and inappropriate but hey, that's what I'm thinking...

So now at roughly one o'clock, I'm already out of my uniform and can do anything I want. Except go outside because I don't want to be washed away by any torrential downpours. It's just awesome having the afternoon to do whatever, and it seems to me that a snow day brings that feeling more than anything else. Well I better go and enjoy my "TEXAS STYLE" snow day...


SNOW DAY!!!
