Snow Day!

We had a snow day yesterday! I never thought that I was going to get a snow day when in university, but apparently four feet of snow does seem to have a way of shutting the city down. I'm not complaining at all because I got to spend the day pretending to study, playing in the snow and watching chick flicks with my best friend. The first one we watched actually had the best line in it. For those who have seen "What a Girl Wants" you should know this one.
"Why do you try so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?" I think I need a reminder of that every once in awhile, although admittedly, the fuzzy blue slippers and spontaneity that seem to now characterize my life do not seem to lend themselves to fitting it. Oh well!

I also realized how truly thankful I am to have a family like the one I do. This chick flick is about a daughter's relationship with her father and I realized that mine is really good with my dad. He's totally the one I could take off with for a day and go exploring a city. Actually, I might get the chance to do that this summer!

The snow day also allowed me to have a grand adventure with my best friend as we decided we really wanted to go to Chaucers, which is one of the few pubs we actually drink at in this city. The only problem with this is that we have no snow shovel at our house (hopefully a situation to remedied soon) and we cannot see Sarah's car at all. The buses were also not running which had been our original plan. So in the spirit of being a university student, we decided to walk. We only mildly regret this choice when it hurts to move this morning, but the hour and forty-five minute walk there was totally worth it! It goes down as the most epic thing that has been done yet this year.

All in all, I think snow days are great and that we should have more of them. Just maybe not during exams . . .
