Burrrrr...It's Cold Out There

I woke up at 7 o'clock this morning and was unusually energized.  I popped right out of bed and began getting ready since I have an 8 am Art Education class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  I showered and got dressed as usual and ate a breakfast bar in my room.  Then as I stepped on the elevator.....I got THE NEWS.

Classes had been canceled until 10.  Errrrr....I was SO mad.  The one morning I'm actually wide awake for my 8 o'clock classes they get cancelled.  South Carolinians sure do freak out when the temperature drops a little bit (I know I do), but I suppose they were just trying to prevent accidents since the roads may have been somewhat icey.  Anyway, I couldn't get back to sleep, so the 3 extra hours I could have spent lying in my warm, cozy bed pretty much went to waste. Oh well.

Apparently, the delay was posted on the USC website this morning, but c'mon, who wakes up and runs to their computer to hop on the internet?? (Haha...I bet there's a few of you feelin' guilty out there!)

So here comes my opinion about whole thing:  I'm glad there was a delay.  Hopefully it prevented a few car wrecks, but I just wish there was a better way to let people know about it.  I talked to plenty of people who went to their classes, having no idea they were cancelled.  Now, as for this weather, I'm just going to be straight-forward.  Go Away!  This is SOUTH Carolina, and since I was raised here, my body just can't handle these types of temperatures.  I'm hoping my next entry will begin with the "poetic" words of the "great" Nelly: "It's gettin' hott in herre..."
