It has been a enjoyable long weekend for me. The freezing rain hit OK on monday morning and left the roads in such bad conditions that OUP was closed by noon.
Later, an announcement was made. OK is in a state of emergency. Campus closed Tuesday. Great, I thought. Another day of holiday. Judging from all the accidents and sidewalk falls, it was expected.
Come tuesday and another announcement was made. Campus closed on Wednesday. Well, this is swell indeed, I thought, being stuck at home for three days in a row. I went out Tuesday for dinner and the roads were empty and piled with inches of snow. A few cars got stuck in the snow. Nothing serious in the student town of Norman. Five of us piled up in the car and my friend gave us a free drifting experience. Some resturants were closed. Others closed early.
Being stuck at home all day had made me realized what I was missing out. The shiver and excitment of being out in the refreshing cold. I forgot how nice it is to feel the cold on your cheeks, even though my hands were freezing as I scraped ice off the car. It was wonderful, especially when your belly is bursting, and you tip toe and reach across the back window to dust away the snow. The cool air brushes the belly and gives a nice relieve.
Ah, snow days. It is beautiful indeed. Especially when campus is closed.
