Last night during the snowstorm I was driving from my house back to Caldwell. My house is about 40 minutes away, but I wasn't worried. I figured as long as I just drove slow I'd be fine..it was terrible. The side streets by my town weren't plowed, but the highways were alright. The worst part was one of the last roads to get back to campus. The road is narrow and hilly, and my Honda Civic was just swerving around in place. It wasn't just that my wheels were spinning, I was on a hill and slid onto the wrong side of the road right by a sharp turn. Eventually I just pulled over and cried my eyes out lol thank God a police officer pulled up next to me and encouraged me to keep trying. He stayed with me until I was practically back at school.
As for this morning, I woke up and first thing I had to do was move my car from MoJo parking lot to the commuter lot so they could plow the snow. I walk outside and see a girl on my floor cleaning off her car with her hands. I felt so bad so I offered to help her with a snow brush for the car. We actually worked on my car first. We cleaned off my car then tried scooping up the snow behind it with a sled. Needless to say it didn't work and we couldn't get it out. So, we walked back over to her car and came across my roommate who-thank God- had a shovel. We all worked together and got the 2 of their cars out. A 3rd friend came out, and we got his car out too. Finally, we went back to my car and successfully got it out. So after over an hour of working in the snow my jeans and boots were soaked and I was fuh-reezingg.
To top it all off, Caldwell did not have a snow day today :(
After all my classes are done, I still have to go to the bookstore and buy all the books for my classes. Also, I have to go find some guy who's signature I need to get into a class that's full.
On the brightside, the weekend is almost here :) I can't wait to see all my friends to celebrate our birthdays!
So, I'll end today with another quote:
"Life's too short to be anything but happy"
was the police office hot? and are you suprised with our school NOT helping us out? I'm not! Hahaha Good luck finding our history book- ITS NOT THERE! =( wahhh!
ReplyDeleteDear Jessica, I love your blog. It is set up very nicely. I was happy to cast a vote as to what I like to do in the snow. YOu may be interested in knowing that my mother's birthday is January 30th as well. She was 97 the other day!!!!! She is still as sharp as a tack and running around New York City (where she lives). Do you think it's being born in the first month that keeps people young and on their toes????? Anyway, we all gathered together and had a lovely party for her on Sunday. Hope your birthday was equally as nice. Congratualations to you for "sticking with it" and getting home in the snow. See, you can really do it if you concentrate. Talk to you soon. Dr. Ries
