Snow...

When I learned I was going to Italy, I was really happy because I thought I would have a year without snow. That was true, until the eighteen of December. It was fun to have a little bit of snow out side to play with and it melted really fast. So I started thinking, this may be my first Christmas without snow. Happily, it snowed on the 24^th of December. At the end of January, all the snow had almost melted.But then, the thirty-first of January arrived. The day before, everybody was talking about this big snow storm that was coming, but nobody really thought it was true. It started snowing at noon, but only started to accumulated it’s self by 3 pm. So from February first to the eight, I didn't go to school. It was fun for the first 2-3 days, but when you are 14 in a house, it gets really hard to endure everybody. On the second day of snow, you couldn't get out of your house by car and all the streets we’re filled with snow.

Because we are so many in the house and that we all wake up late, the mom decided to add a rule: breakfast before 11am. I don’t mind the rule, but I don’t really like how I learned it. Practically, I woke up on the third snow day at 10h45 am. I felt bad because I knew that it was late. So I took the time to dress my self before going downstairs to eat breakfast. I was about to grab cereals, when the mom stops me to tell me this new rule. I look at the clock and it was 11h02 am. So I was two minutes ‘’late’’. I ewas starving because I didn’t eat dinner the day before because I was not hungry! For every other day, I woke up at 10h30am.

After eight days without school and going outside to move all the snow, I finally returned to school. Everybody was asking me where I’ve been and if I felt at home with all the snow. It was funny to see the faces of people when I told them that compared to my home town, there wasn’t a lot of snow.

The morning after, I woke up and the streets we’re white! After 30 minutes asking with other kids in my house if we we’re going to school, we decided that if we would go, we wouldn’t be able to go back home in the after-noon. So I had an other for days without school.
