Ice Day

I am sure that everyone is going to write about the snow days, or should I say ice days, we had because that was the best thing ever. I highly appreciated it because not only were the ice chunks pelting me in the face when I was outside for 30 seconds but on both Tuesday and Wednesday I had 3 classes each day, one of those being my 2.5 hour senior seminar. Needless to say I was jumping for joy.

I was also excited that I was not home in Chicago for this big snow storm because my dad usually wakes me up to join him for the festivities. He pretty much gets high off salting the sidewalk and snow blowing (the whole block). So that was a treat even though my mom sent me pictures of my back and front yard at 8am. So much for sleeping in on snow day number two.

So today since the icy rain was not trying to take my eyeballs out and I was clearly bored, I attempting to chip away at the ol' Chrysler Sebring. I broke all the prongs off my scraper and went through 2 pairs of Uggs and 4 pairs of gloves to keep warm. I also used one of the seven "de-ice" sprays my dad gave me and that didn't work. Then I finally got the bright idea to fill up buckets and such of hot water and dump it on my windows which resulted in cracking the ice. Then I looked like a mad man/an ice sculptor going to town on my car.

After I felt so accomplished cleaning off my car for a total of 2 hours i obliviously decided to take her for a spin to get a movie. Well my car decided to not move forward or backwards and now I'm stuck in ice crevasses.

What a boring snow day!! Haha but I hope everyone had slightly better snow days and stayed warm and safe...Now tomorrow I can't wait to face plant on my walk to classes because Eastern enjoys not salting but using sand. If my dad heard that he would be on his way to salt Charleston, Illinois as we speak.
