72. Snowfall the first: a French comedy

oh ho ho...too funny

i've been anticipating this wondrous day, thursday, since the beginning of the week because according to the météo, it was supposed to snow today (& i love snow)...

& it did. :)

so what i've heard is that over here, they're not really used to having too much snow. in other words, they kind of freak out when there's snow, even when it's only a gentle 2cm. everyone suddently slaps on their brakes, which in fact is coherent since nobody has winter tires here. apparetly, those grippers are for "les gens qui vivent dans les montagnes".

so when i got to school this morning, it was black out & it was snowing. gentle fluff, that's all. which is why i giggled when i saw girls with umbrellas who didn't want to snow to touch their heads. there's just something really odd about seeing an umbrella in front of a freezing white backdrop; there's a certain ridiculous quality about it. i guess it's cause when i think snow, i think blizzard & just trying to imagine a girl trying to protect her hair in a blizzard is just funny, i'm sorry.

i had a great day. normally, i would have been home for about a half of an hour by now but in truth, i've been home for six hours. SIX HOURS. let me elaborate...

this morning, i had an extra hour of class because my teacher switched around the class hours this week. no sweat; it was maths spé (love) & we had a super laid-back but informative class on the history of secret codes & their relation to prime numbers. then i had phys/chem & we started battery cells today. good stuff.

then i ate. (woot!) usually, caf food is a 5.5/10 but today, it was a christmas special lunch so we had xmas food!! still 5.5/10 but i'll give it a 6/10 because i appreciated it.
entrée: pâte à choux, saumon, champignons, sauce béchemel
plat: pommes de terre (en boules), haricots verts, poulet/porc
fromage: fromage, clémentine, papillotes
déssert: bûcher
à boire: coca

so in the middle of eating, an administrator walks in & tells us to contain our excitement until he finished speaking. basically, he announced that afternoon classes were cancelled & buses would arrive earlier than usual...due to the "snow". then he said to wait until tonight (now) to find out about tomorrow's schooling.
you should've heard the kids cheer; i'm glad they were that happy.

so i got home at 12:30.
i tried to work but i was too tired.
i helped host mom sprinkle salt everywhere w/ host sister, which somehow led to a mini snowball fight.
host sis & i decided to build a snowman, which became a snow-woman, which ultimately becaume a snowdog (isn't that movie?)
we made hot chocolate & cozied ourselves in front of the télé to watch ty pennington dubbed in french on extreme makeover for 2h.
afterwards, i went to the computer
& thus, i'm here.
& happy, which is why i had to locked myself in my bathroom for a few minutes to laugh the hysteria out of me cause that's what happens when i'm too happy; i can't hide it.
& i wonder if i have school tomorrow...
(imagine if i don't..lolololOLOLOL!!!)
