The soft thud of footsteps made me drift into consciousness. Thoughts immediately began racing through my head before I could even pick out my surroundings. Please be a snow day! Please be a snow day! I heard the morning ritual play out downstairs. A door opening, my dog rushing outside, then more footsteps… but not going up the stairs. This time, they grew fainter. I slowly forced myself to roll over and check the time, 7:26. Snow day. I let a small grin stretch across my face as the day just got even better. March is my favorite month, ever, and I had been counting down to this day for the past week. Between dance, Slice of Life, signs of spring, and even just rotating chores in my own house, makes for a pretty amazing month. Now to add on no school on the first day fills me with this indescribable happiness.
Great description, Amber! It’s like I was experiencing it right alongside you. As I sit under my warm blanket and watch the flakes falling outside I too am enjoying this beautiful gift of a snow day!
I forgot how much March was your favorite month! Looking forward to hearing of all your adventures!
This is literally exactly what I was thinking when I woke up this morning.
I love how you included “Rotating chores in my own house”! Its the small things that count..
Your story has great detail and I totally agree on your opinion of snow days! My school had a snow day as well, and it was a relief! Another reason I like your story is because you gave such great visual I was able to picture myself waking up to what you heard! Great job writing!
Question: What do you do on snow days?
Sometimes I actually go outside and play ( haha strange I know) but usually I just sleep in and play my iPod:)
This post was absolutely fantastic! You used such descriptive language and writers tricks, I felt like I was there with you! P.s I also LOVE snow days, its the best feeling in the world to realize you don’t have school.
