When I was told it was a snow day this morning, I rejoiced. But then I tried to fall back asleep and I couldn't. I sat in my bed for a while and looked around my room. The blinds were down so the room was pretty dark except for the eerie glow from the window casting a dark and moody atmosphere into my room. I checked my cell phone for texts. Many times. I tossed and turned, went to the bathroom, but it wouldn't work. Then I decided to just get up, but I couldn't. For a moment I was trapped there. I realized that I had to study for the ACT one more time, finish all of my homework, babysit tonight for $5 an hour. I didn't want to get up and face the day and yet I should have been happy for no school. I just sat there in my bed unresolved. It was a horrible feeling.
I was kind of happy to be at school yesterday. Everyone was pissed and that brought us together. I found myself talking to people I never talk to about it. It was fun to come out of every class and grumble grumble grumble to friends and then go off again. None of the teachers were focused. I found myself wanting to learn in physics. It was weird. It's probably because I have a cell phone now and that makes everything more exciting. I asked to go to the bathroom in every class so I could send a text. I never realized how many people use cell phones.
