I HATE YOU!!!!!!! AAAHHHHHHH. Well not really. I'm just jealous of your freaking fantastic day... GUESS HOW MY DAY WENT? Badly. >:( Sit down my child, and why don't I tell you a story?
I was so convinced that today I would also have a snow day that I neglected some rather important homework, thinking I'd have all day Tuesday. But I guess the big guy in the sky had other plans because guess what?It rained. All night.
When I woke up and saw that there was NO SNOW, I just wanted to collapse in a pool of bitter tears, but just as I was settling in to wallow in my own misfortune, an amazing thing happened!!
I checked my phone, and saw that I had received a voicemail from my french teacher that had gone unnoticed! I listened, and guess what?? Her school was closed, and therefore my North West french class was canceled!! So I jumped around and around and then suddenly it hit me that this would really only give me an extra 45 minutes to do my homework since on Tuesdays I have my short French class that's only an hour long!!! So then I fell back into my previous despair.
Forty minutes later, just when I had begun to accept my sad, sad fate, my mother called up to me to come downstairs and look out the window, and BEHOLD: sweet, glorious snow was pouring down from the sky and I was mad with ecstatic joy! It really was incredible snow...
So thick and heavy that within just 5 minutes, everything was under a beautiful blanket of white!! A miracle sent down from heaven, yes? Yes? YES? ........NO.
NO, NO, NO. It was the universe flipping me the bird (and I'm not talking angry birds here) and saying, "MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!! SEE THAT, PATHETIC HUMAN CHILD?? I'VE GIVEN YOU SNOW!!! AFTER YOUR SCHOOL HAS ALREADY MADE THE FINAL DECISION TO NOT CLOSE." So then I said, "Screw you, universe. You're wrong anyways. My school is going to see this snow of epic proportions, and it's gonna change its mind and close early! I know it, I just know it!!!". Ohhhh what an ignorant fool I was, Eloise. What an ignorant fool...
I went to school because after checking its website, I found the evil harpies who run our prison hadn't changed their mind. But I figured it was only a matter of time before they came to their senses, so I left expecting to be back in only a couple of hours. Guess what happened next? The universe decided to be an even bigger bitch.
First, on the drive over, the bridge was up. Like, it was split in half and suspended perpendicular to the road, in the air. So we had to sit and wait for it to come down, making me late for my second period which had STILL not been canceled!!!! I arrived to this second period to find out that, due to my lateness, my teacher had not only marked me tardy, but that there were also no seats. So I had to sit on the floor. And the floor, thanks to the rain and the snow and the consequential mud... was not clean. Ick.
Then, since the universe was obviously feeling a little bad for me, it tried to cheer me up by giving me a high five...
To the face.
Everyone in my class, including my teacher, told me the school had decided to release us early at lunch (before the class with the homework I had not done!!) and I was over the moon. I was foolish enough to think that my luck had turned... But boy was I wrong. The early closing was a rumor that turned out to be completely false, and we did not get released at lunch. No. We. Did. Not. Instead, I went to my next period after eating some very gross chicken with lots of cartilage bits in it, and found out I had forgotten about homework for that class as well. Yep. I am not kidding. And so that sucked. And then it started raining. And then I had to go to my next class, where I also did not have the homework. And then FINALLY the school day was over, along with (or at least I thought...) my horrible luck.
That's when I got a text from my mom, that I would have to walk down town to my dad's office instead of being picked up. So I went outside and discovered that, just to rub it in, the universe had decided to make it rain really, really, really hard. After the initial irritation, I thought, "Hah! Jokes on them... I've got my handy dandy... UMBRELLA!"
I found out 30 seconds later that I had left my umbrella at home. And 15 minutes after that I walked into the office building, looking like I had just stepped out of a swimming pool.
Universe: 1000 000, Tina: -12
All I can say is,
Universe... If you do not deal me a better deck of cards tomorrow, I will personally knee you in the balls. Thank you, that is all.
