Schnow Schtorm

I stupidly thought I could take on Mother Nature. I was born in New England and raised as closely to the standard as possible growing up in an immigrant home. I drove out this morning after clearing the snow off my car with a chocolate chip scone in hand and a very pugnacious pride in my heart. I was wrong.

I wasn't even out five miles when I got stuck on a hill. The Environmental Police helped me back out and turn around, only for me to get stuck on the opposite hill I had gone down before. A phone call was made to my family; my dad was coming to tow me out with the Jeep. An hour passed with four plows and a multitude of pilgrim cars passing me. My anxieties were quite high, but I wasn't going to sit idle. Bad things happen when I'm idle.

I rocked the car back and forth pressing on the gas, in 2nd gear. Slowly, I made my car turn 90 degrees to the left onto quickly disappearing previously plowed pavement. Once my front tires kissed the greying edge, great progress was made inching up the hill. 20 minutes later found me getting out my car in the exact same parking spot, only filled with 3 more inches of snow.

Quite a defeat. I emailed the professor. It really was out of my control. All Mount Holyoke classes have been cancelled for today and tomorrow. The second storm will hit tomorrow, only with ice. Luckily, the Ultimate team has offered to dig out cars for 5, 10, 15 dollars, depending on the accumulation around the car. I believe they're going to make a good profit. There are some cars who have been plowed in and snowed on since December without being cleaned once. I'll definitely make use of them ;)

I went with Emily and Steph while they donated blood. I'm still sick so I couldn't, but I was happy to talk to them and keep them busy while the bags vacuumed their arms out. Quite gruesome.

I'm going to take advantage of these snow days to catch up on my reading. The gym is out of the question, as it is closed, but I have TurboJam! HOLLA!

Maybe I'm not a playa? I don't know. I just have this sinking feeling. Oh well, I'm just going to keep listening to N.W.A. Hopefully they make me hard.
