Looking out my window this morning, I saw snow. I saw that the white stuff covered the ground, and was falling from the sky in larger flakes. After checking to see if school was going to be closed, it wasn't. 30 minutes later, it still wasn't. Right before I left, it still wasn't. So I bundled up, grabbed my umbrella, and wrapped my sketchbook in a large plastic bag to carry.
I took a few steps outside. My shoes were covered in snow. Some spots were ankle deep. This wasn't pleasant when I thought about how I was going to be stuck in the same wet socks for 7 hours. Pants were covered in snow. This wasn't going to be good. Too late to turn around to get the bike, not like I could carry my stuff and ride on ice.
Then the wind blows. Hard and horizontally. My face feels the blow, and I quickly squint, barely being able to see, while my umbrella proves to be useless. I don't see this situation as getting any better, so I close up my umbrella, cover my head with my hoodie, and continue on. Carefully and slowly.
By half way, I am covered in snow, and I could barely see my shoes. I just couldn't wait to get to school so that I could dry off. When I am about couple blocks from my building, a car lets me pass, i motion my hand to thank them, and attempt to find the sidewalk. As I put my foot forward, I slip and fall. This was just so ridiculous that I just had to laugh about it. I never fall, I try everything not to fall, but the time I fall, it just had to be right in front of someone. Funny how that happens.
So I get to my classroom, and get to the door. Closed. Locked. I take off my wet coat, and take out my computer. I check to see if the school is closed. Nothing. I check my phone. Nothing. Then exactly 2 minutes before my class starts, I get a message from vcu. School is closed. What! I walked all this way, in this weather, just because vcu didn't tell me at least 30 minutes before class would start! This is ridiculous. Seriously? Its dangerous out there.
