Snow Days, What it meant to me then, and what it means to me now

Well, as you all know a snow day is a day in which a day is full of snow in your area and consequently no school. We have them for public safety reasons, so basically a bus full of kids are is not rammed by a driver that looses control on the icy roads, and well the same for the school bus.

 Anyways to get on with my story, I used to always want snow days, no matter what I would always wake up and hope for snow, but when there was no snow I would be disappointed because I would have to go to another thrilling day of school. Sometimes I would wake up and there would be snow on the ground and I would be like YEAH! W00 and I would run to the TV hearing the sound of plows on the road excited looking for my school jumping up and down when it finally gets to the u's then see W's but my school wouldn't be there. I would be disappointed and go get ready and go to school. Everyone would be saying how we should of had a snow day but we didn't and all that stuff. Then there would be that occasional chance that we would get a snow day.. I would be happy, then go back to sleep.. haha what a way to spend my snow day.. sleeping.

I see the harsh Reality now

Now that I am older, I look at snow days as if they were some terrible joke mother nature plays on us. I drive now, and my greatest fear is a wreck. Granite I have car insurance and stuff, but I just do not want to take that chance of injuring someone else (IDC if I get hurt..really I don't). Now that I have a 4 door car this means my car is heavier and more liable to slide int the snow and hit someone else. I mean I have not drove in the snow with my car yet.. but I don't want to take that risk right now.. I mean I have been in one accident, I don't want to get into another. So when I do drive I would make sure to drive very safely.

So I read this and think to myself, wow. I mean how can it be that someone can have such a drastic change of viewpoint in such a small time. I guess it  comes with age, eventually I will be having a bad back and stuff. Haha Have a good one everyone.
