If every day was a snow day….

That would be great. I went to a theatrical production of A Raisin In The Sun today as a school field trip. It was pretty good, and the set was *fantastic*, but it was a bit too long…. Three hours long. The play started at 10:30 in the morning and ended at about 1:20 in the afternoon. From there, since us high school kids are so grown up, they got to save money and have us find out own ways of transportation home. It wasn’t even the end of the school day when we got out.

I felt a bit awkward walking in the opposite direction most of the people were walking in (even though that was the direction I needed to go to go home), so I walked in the direction most of the people were walking in. :) I went to a coffee shop and got a hot chocolate and an oatmeal cookie, then I started to walk home. It was freezing! It seemed even colder than last week when we had all of those cold-days (like a snow day, except off because of cold, not snow), but when I got home and checked the weather online, I found out it was only like 20° outside. It was like -4 or something last week. When I got home my hands were seriously aching from the cold.

Now that I’m home, I have to start reading Hamlet, which I have a literary analysis of due on Friday. Plus, there are two tests tomorrow, then there’s also a make-up test which I’m not sure if I need to take or not. Then Friday, we have a quiz. Since next week is sort of exam week for some kids, I get much of that week off, but on Friday of that week, there’s a test covering everything we’ve learned in a certain subject. Too much work!

    Wow, you’ve got a lot going on. Hamlet’s a good play – we’re reading Macbeth right now in English, and I can’t wait for the American Players Theater (a professional theater group performing mainly plays by Shakespeare in an awesome theater out in the woods) to perform it. APT did Hamlet last summer, and it was incredible.

    Good luck with all of the tests!
