The Day Makers

Today, in the middle of AP American Government with Mr. Tillotson, I received the following note from the office.

"Naveen. These years of high school absolutely wouldn't have been the same with you and we really value everything you do. You completely deserve to have the best day ever and we hope that this reminds you of how awesome you are You are too smart and really funny! Your clothing style is truly unique and we wanted to let you know that you are what make Wayzata the best!
<3 The Day Makers"

My first reaction: WTF.

Februany At Subway Has Now Ended

Dear Followers,

Wow. This may be my first experience with a snow day as a member of Wayzata High School. Nature played its part beautifully, layering on the ice during the night and deviously directing early morning traffic into mounds of snow. Instead of waking up to the annoying buzz of my alarm on cue at 7:00 AM, I instead was disturbed by the sound of my father searching for a way to disarm my clock. As he informed me that Wayzata High School was closed for the day, I went back to sleep without giving it a second thought. Only when I woke up again at 11:00 AM did it really hit me. Finally, after years of crossing our fingers, our hopes had been answered.
People everywhere are making snow sculptures. Kind of like the Neil  Armstrong Jet Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon.
A snow day is a unique vacation from school because it carries with it the element of surprise. Teachers, without enough lead time to exploit the break, literally have no means of assigning homework. Indeed, the snow day can achieve the status of a functional inserted break in time. Lessons, deadlines, and homework are all pushed back via the creation of the snow day. Thus, after weeks of having a set schedule of what needed to be accomplished every day, I was faced today with the prospect of figuring out for myself what to do. Without a doubt, FFXIII-2 was played. Oh was it played.

However, it must be mentioned that my snow day was rather uneventful. Indeed, PSEO diminished the power of my snow day in restricting my activities via an obligation to put in my weekly two hours for Multivariable Calculus. I should have done what Jeff and Aneesha were smart enough to do and just skipped class. Honestly, Mr. Schwartzbauer's most profound statement during today's lesson concerned the promiscuity of Albert Einstein. While uneventful, my break from school was much needed and greatly appreciated, especially for a student who ended up sleeping prematurely yesterday.

Hopefully, Mrs. Grack will be open to ordering pizza for AP Chemistry tomorrow. My fingers are crossed.

Happy Birthday A. Humphrey,
Noel
