Snow Day!!

Despite growing up in New Jersey and attending school in Boston, I am not a snow person. Yes, when I was a little kid, I enjoyed snow. But back then, snow meant a day off from school, building snowmen with my friends, and then warming up by baking cookies. Now snow means shoveling out my car, trekking to class (Wellesley NEVER cancels), and resisting the urge to make mug after mug of hot cocoa (because calories still count when it snows).

So when I heard there was going to be a blizzard today, I flipped. Especially because I’ve been keeping myself sane during the cold winter months by saying that it’s going to be spring soon, and then the winter weather advisory brought me back to the harsh reality of Boston winters. And I have class at Brandeis on Wednesday nights, meaning I would have to shovel out my car while it was still supposed to be snowing, and then drive through on slippery blizzard-stricken streets.

But, before the snow had even started sticking, good news arrived Wellesley might think its students are too hardcore for snow days, but Brandeis doesn’t. Brandeis canceled all classes after 1p.m! Sorry Wellesley, but this time, I’d rather not be so hardcore. For the first time in a long time, I’m enjoying snow again. Even if I’ve had a little too much hot cocoa today.
