Things that occured to me on the way to the university:
1) Wow, the snow's way heavier than it looked from my window... note to self, never try to judge weather conditions from eight storeys up.
2) Jeez, I'd much rather be walking on the snow than the pavement. This is freaking slippery. I know bipedal locomotion is supposed to be 'controlled falling', but this is freakin' ridiculous.
3) I am wearing shoes. I should not be wearing shoes. I have my old Army boots in the closet, and if I could track through the jungle in those things, I could go through snow in them, and why the hell didn't I remember until now. Curse you, military training! You have forsaken me! Ranma Saotome, this is all your fault!
4) Oh, gee, y'know, the streets look pretty good snowed in, actually, it's very white and pretty. Pity it's a deathtrap.
5) Hm...that's interesting, there's no buses on the road. Plenty of cars, but no buses. And the electronic signs on the bus stops are displaying the website address for travel updates instead of bus times. And the phrase 'Countdown', for some cryptic reason. Which is odd because it doesn't look like New Year's to me. Maybe this is nuclear winter.
7) Wait, if the -buses aren't running-, maybe there's no school today
8) Man, that'd be hilarious. I'd feel like a complete ass.
9) ...yup. Bwahahahahahahahaha.
...
Look, I'm from a tropical country. We don't have snow where I come from.
Which is why I'm typing this now, in a computer lab. I really gotta start checking my e-mail BEFORE heading out, they sent out a 'no classes today due to zomgwtf weather' notice at 8.30 am.
Admittedly, since I left for school at nine this isn't that huge a margin. =D And I'm not the only mildly disgruntled student in here.
