Snow Days

Every day it’s same struggling to get out of bed, go to school, and do home work, but every once and a while there is a shift, a change in the day, something that affects everyone. Snowdays. I wake up in the morning, it’s dark and I’m cold. I look at the clock, 5:40 I see, another twenty minutes until I have to get out of bed. Then a phone begins to ring, then another, and another until all phones in the house are ringing in unison, which can only mean one thing, a snow day. When I realize this I lay back down and think to myself, what a wonderful world. The day is as slow as could be. Without homework I can go outside, watch tv, play video games, or do absolutely nothing with my time. But before I can do anything or nothing, my stomach needs food. I drag myself out of the bed, slowly walking down stairs, just trying to make it to the kitchen I finally make it and eat anything that will satisfy my hunger. When I finish, I flop down on my couch and so officially begins my day of nothing.  Snow days, they are the result of changing ones schedule. It gives time to just relax, do what you want, and or do nothing, so that’s exactly how I’ll use my snow days.
