On February 1st and 2nd, something tragic/amazing happened. We had two days of no school! That was because our local area was attacked by the ravaging snow monster called Battle Antarctica. We were out of school for a whole two days while Battle Antarctica attacked the states. It was great/ boring. Now you may be asking why I have two phrases back slashed together. That's because these two days of relaxation from school had mix feeling for me and probably 1000 other students at our school.
Here are the benefits of the snow days
1. Sleep in
2. Extended work time for homework/projects
3. We got to catch up with our favorite soap operas
4. Some relaxation time
Here are the disadvantages of the snow days
1. Extended school schedule into summer
2. Caught up on chores (EW!)
3. Couldn't go anywhere because cars wouldn't start
4. We are behind in school so projects/homework is rushed
5. Procrastination hit many of us like rocks.
As you can see the disadvantages out number the benefits by one, but extended school schedule into summer counts as five. So really it was outnumbered by six.
So basically my entire snow days were filled with chores and catching up on some z's. The best part was obviously getting a root beer shake! When I went there (fourth time in three weeks) I saw the same guy from Sundays! Here is the back story for this. Every Sunday for the past three weeks I've driven to Birdsalls and ordered a root beer shake with friends. Every time I go to Birdsalls the same cashier/ice cream scooper guy was there! He started to recognize me more and more every time I went. This man was hilarious too. So not expecting him to be working Wednesdays, I see him. The ice cream scooper guy made my night after endless house chores.Once I enter the door he would always say "Uh oh, look what we've got here!" Then he asked what I would like but before I could muffle out root beer shake he is already making me one! Now that is what I call star service.

The snow days were boring and basically pointless but the root beer shake made the day better. I guess the root beer shake was my spice for those two days :D Have a good few days and please avoid Battle Antarctica while sipping on a root beer shake.
I agree with you on all the advantages and disadvantages of snow days. I hate how they can be great and they can also be horrible. That's why I'm always hoping for a delay instead of a cancellation. That way you can still sleep in, but you don't have to make it up! And who doesn't love Birdsalls great service?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to agree with the fact about the procrastination. I didn't do most of my homework until thursday morning back at school.
ReplyDeleteBattle Antarctica.....really...you are an odd cookie :) but the post is pretty awesome good job.
ReplyDeleteSince there were snowdays, I had to go to work at Newman at like 11-6 and then 1030-6 because of all the out of town people who couldn't get in. Unforuntely those two days snack consisted of nothing but foods with high sugar. I def wanted to be in school after I sent over 7 hours each day with 22 sugar crazed 4 year olds!
ReplyDeletei love snow days they are amazing :) but i always fall behind in my homework!
ReplyDeleteI love snow days! I don't like it when we have to make it up.
