dear snow emergency:
i would like to thank you for allowing me a tuesday off. indeed, i am required neither to go to work nor to go to school. in fact, going to school would find me in an empty dark classroom with no one to talk to, and going to work would find me driving illegally through several counties under emergency declaration.
now, i do have a few bones to pick, snow emergency. first, you should have reminded me last night to pick up coffee filters so that i would not be stranded coffeeless in my apartment (fear not; i made it to the coffeeshop and am perfectly capable of using a paper towel).
second, did it really need to be a tuesday? honestly, classes were cancelled last tuesday, too, and that means that this is the third week in a row i have been unable to attend my african diaspora class.
i really like that class.
all in all, however, i'm greatful for your presence in my life, snow emergency. any day wherein i can sit around watching angel season four and drinking hot chocolate, instead of squeezing into a pair of ill-fitting black pants and a gray polo shirt in order to professionally print and hang ad signs at a major electronics retailer?
okay by me.
love,
lindsay

By the time you get back to your diaspora class, everyone will have wandered off...
I'm just waiting for my snow emergency. But it won't do me any good: Harvard U never closes, ever. Fuckin' olde timers live in the sewers and crawl up out of the manholes as the sun rises.
frank, your hilarity, really.
it knows no bounds.
if only you could see the look i'm giving you right now.
jb, the university i attend has SEVEN major hospitals on campus, and they still shut us down. that's a hell of a snowstorm.
