Let it Snow

Today is Saturday! But for me, and my overtly long winter break, it's the same as any other day of the week! Except on Saturday my high school friends don't have school, so I guess there's a tiny difference. I don't really notice though- I still call them at like 1 PM saying "hey, I just got up, come over to my house" and they're all like "I'm in class, Theo! Go away!" And then I laugh at them. Good times...

In the news, it is not snowing here. And it should be. It's snowing pretty much everywhere else, from what I've heard. My high school friends don't want the snow to come till the week starts so that they could get a snow day, and I just laughed when they told me that. Apparently it's snowing in DC, which is just unfair. They need to learn to share with the rest of the country. Damned elitist politicians.

I could talk about snow, but it's not snowing- so that would be improper, inaccurate, and incognito (that last one didn't make sense, but I was on a role). Actually, on second thought, I think I may talk about snow, since, according to the NYTimes, the storm is "racing North." Source. The problem is what to say. Snow isn't exactly something you can easily talk about. See, you could start writing- but then you see the snow and you just have to run outside. Well, adults might not have that problem- but I do. It's also sort of surreal-ish, and hard to contain in words, or in the palm of your hand. It melts from your grasp. I am so poetic.


If kids could control
The fall of snow there would be
No snow days, ever


See, you're probably thinking that if students could control the fall of snow, it would happen pretty much every day in order to create snow days. And if that happened, I'm sure our society would have gotten used to it by now, and created technology to adapt. Or maybe we just wouldn't care anymore. It's like Alaska- I'm sure they don't have snow days all that often. And if it snowed too much they'd probably just take sled dogs to school. Which would be epic.
