SNOW DAY!


One thing that every student looks forward to in school is no school. One way we don't have to go to school is having a SNOW DAY! Snow days are looked at by students as a day where you can sleep in, hang with friends, have snowball fights, and just enjoy not having school. As you get older, you want more snow days, but as you grow up, it's harder for your school to call off, when your in college it takes pretty much a blizzard to call of school in college. I remeber when thee would be snow days in grade school and highschool i would go outside for most the day and build snowmen, sled in my backyard, and build forst and have snowball fights with neighbors. Now since i've grown up and am lazy, I would rather stay inside sleep in and play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 or some Madden 2010. It's always interesting to think who actually makes the call to call off school. Sometimes they will call off school when theres absolutely nothing on the ground but then they don't call off school when we get like 4 inches.

WCW Quote

In chapter 2, she talks about politics a little bit. She mentions her grandmother, her grandfather and her aunt. She has a quote by her aunt that caught my attention. Her quote was, "Don't listen to a thing your parents say about politics. The sooner you lose their ideas, the better". I found this interesting because peoples opinions on politics are always interesting and sometimes funny. I picked this quote because I feel the exact opposite about what she said. Without my dad I would know nothing of politics, I just never had an interest what so ever and through the years my dad has taught me more and more. Politics never really interested me, I know it's a big thing all around the world but I just have no interest. I've the heat people have between each other dealing with Democrats and Republicans. It all just seems stupid to me, why fight with someone over what they view as "the right thing", truth is, there is no, "right thing". I know the basics of politics; the parties, how voting works, how long terms are, the usual history class stuff, but the thing that's always fascinated me was how little I really know, but like I said I know it's important, but I don't see why people get all upset over things.
