Snow Day?

For something ridiculous like the 7th time in ASU's history, all classes were cancelled today. It was pretty dang nasty out, easily the most snow I have seen in three years up here. We got between 10" and a foot of snow, starting Sunday morning and going up until very late last night, possibly this morning a wee bit.

Anyway, as one can guess I was overjoyed at the prospect of no class. Even more so since I had a midterm that was pushed back to give me a few extra days to study for it. So, naturally, rather than doing anything productive with my time, I went and played in the snow.

I spent all afternoon sledding and frolicking in a winter wonderland. Actually, I guess it was more sledding than anything else. I did watch some other people frolicking, but I was preoccupied with the hill in front of me.

It was great. I had forgotten how much fun sledding is. Aside from almost biting through my lip and possibly having whiplash, there were absolutely no ill effects. As usual, I was the only one that got hurt at all. My friends conferred and decided to get me a full body armor suit, since anytime something remotely dangerous and a group containing myself cross paths, I am invariably the only one that get hurt.

I love three day weekends. And I love surprises. So basically a surprise three day weekend is the best thing that could have happened to me today.

Oh yeah, and I had an un-birthday this weekend. It was really great, my family came up, I got to hang out with friends and all that good stuff.
