So, given the interesting weather we're getting tomorrow, you would expect school to be cancelled. However ...



Therefore, I shall attend my exam tomorrow in an abandoned school, with an inch or two of snow on the ground, in freezing conditions. Great :lol: At least they told us to wear whatever we want to stop us getting too cold!

Happened here as well because the Year 11's have exams but school isn't even cancelled here and we are supposed to get 7" of snow.

Well, it's not definitely cancelled, but it probably will be. Cycling will be interesting :scared:

What's wrong with your school, us British close everything with the merest hint of snow! :p

And because I live a bit further west than you two, our snow starts early morning, way before school.

That's what I was thinking. If I actually go to school tomorrow, then I might have to leave the bike at home and walk. And us Hampshire lot are tough :lol:
 
I have a greater problem. As every Londoner knows, at the merest hint of snow, all public transport ceases to exist. And that's how I get home. :grumpy:

Is walking not an option?
 
Our school never shuts prematurely, it always waits till about half nine when they realise there are only a tenth of the people there and send us home.
 
Well it takes me 30 mins to walk to my school which is a 1.8 mile journey according to Google maps.

As a last resort, yes. Its probably around a 35 minute walk in the dry, maybe 1 hour in the snow (as its 90% uphill).

Not too bad, mines a 45 minute walk, and 3 miles away. But 11-13 minutes on the bike :D
 
No school tomorrow due to snow that may never happen. It was going to be a half day anyway, so I might of skipped anyway.
 
My day at school was fantastic....at first. Great morning. Didn't do hardly anything as today I had all study halls and one hour of gym. Great. Ate lunch, chilled and went to auto tech. Started out good. No leaks on my new brakes. Pumped the pedal, oh, leak. Ok, it wasn't tightened. Problem solved. Pump, pump, pump. All good. None anywhere. Pump pump pump. Leak. Probably the same issue. So I go back. I look at it, oh it looks alright. I look at it from a new angle. Uh, that's crooked. What? Someone threaded it in and forced it? It wasn't straight? Who the hell did this line and cross threaded it? You stripped the inside of my brake hose!!!! I was furious. I didn't work on the line that was stripped out. I have no idea who did. I have an idea but I didn't want to put the blame on anyone. So now I've been hindered from finishing it even longer, because someone in my class can't see if something is line up and then go ahead and FORCE it in because it wouldn't thread in the first place. So now I have to spend $50 on a new hose because some fool messed it up.
 
Had German I and Algebra II final exams today. Algebra was good until the final 14 or so questions when we had only 20 minutes left, so I rushed through the problems and probably messed much up. We were allowed a note sheet, and I made one, but it was unnecessary as I somehow remembered how to do everything.

German on the other hand... I learned every vocabulary word we were supposed to, but I did not know half of the words on this test. I am not exaggerating either. It is complete BS. Oh well.

Thought it was just me... back when I took German classes that happened to me every single test... :crazy:
 
Found out my average is a 93%.


Believe it or not, we haven't had a snow day in years here in the Great White North.
 
It takes a good 4 feet of blowing snow (to the point it's a constant whiteout), crazy high winds, power out everywhere, ice build up and below 0 temps before my school even considers it.


Yes I'm being serious. It really does take that much before they think about it. Even then sometimes we have school.

As for length to get to school, on average, to get to the home school it takes about a half hour to 45 minutes, then another half hour, 45 minutes to transfer to auto tech.
 
Robotics was the best today. When I walked into the room one of the juniors was making waffles and in a different room someone was making bacon and hash browns so tomorrow, one of the science rooms will smell like bacon for the whole day
 
Really interested in seeing how crappy my grades are next week :lol:
