Day One of Three Snow Days was great! I woke up begrudgingly, as I do every morning that I have to get up early and go to school. Right above my headboard is a window that looks out onto the street. Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I raised the blinds. There was no street to be seen. There was just snow. It was level with the curb, and then some! Apparently the wind was blowing in the direction of my neighbor across the street's house because a drift had formed along the side of their house. It was at least four feet high. Liking my chances, I went into the living room and turned on the television. I waited for my que, and when it rolled across the screen, I fist pumped (yes, I actually fist pumped. Don't laugh) and at the same time my mom walked in the front door. (She works nights.)
"No school I take it?" she said.
"Nope! Woo hoo!" I cheered. Then I went back to bed. It's an unwritten rule in my household that I do not get up before noon on snow days, simply out of principal. Later in the day, Cory came over to get me (he only lives like two blocks away, so it wasn't a bad drive or anything). We hung out at his house and watched the Breakfast Club. I hadn't seen it in a long time, and it was a good pick for a day where we were stuck at home with not much to do. That night I got the best sleep I've had in a long time. It was the best snow day ever.
