Mini-Winter Break!

Today was the first day we got back to school. From being stuck in a house with all of my sisters and parents, I was happy to be back in school. With my family and I living in the more rural part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan, the ice on the roads weren't helping. Last Thursday, the district cancelled all after-school programs, games, and Saturday school. This was our first notice to say that basically school was out for the rest of the week. I can truthfully say that I was happy that we had a small break from school before our Christmas break. We were scheduled to have our first basketball pep-rally during first period. Pep-rallies in the morning is one thing that I absolutely do not like. I am not a morning person, so mixing in a pep-rally that's supposed to make us all happy and cheery doesn't mix well with me. So, my weekend went from a two-day weekend to a three-day weekend. My weekend turned into a five-day weekend when the "wonderful mini-vacation" turned into an "everlasting nightmare." I had to stay with my family. For FIVE days! The weekend is enough and even then I'm not with them much, that's probably because about half of the day I spent sleeping in my bed ;) Coming back to school made me so happy because not only did I get to see my friends, but I got to actually go outside. I hope that this ice and snow melts away before the beginning of next week.
