The Sound of Hokie Hearts Breaking Around Campus

       This week started out with rumor that Blacksburg would be in the middle of two storms throughout the week. The temperature was to drop a lot , and there was even word that it might snow! Sunday went by, and I have to admit, it was freezing. I finally got back to the dorm after dodge ball to shower and skype with my girlfriend. A few minutes into our conversation, and we were interrupted by screams coming from down the hall. I walked out of my room to see a hallway full of extremely happy students. When I asked what was going on, everyone told me to check my phone. I looked at my messages excited to see that we had off school the next day. I can't even explain how relieved I was. I had so much homework due.
        It was going to be amazing to sleep in and have a day off. I turned around to my roommate who was on the phone to find out he was upset. I was extremely confused. He was mad because he didn't want the schedule to be messed up, which I guess I can understand. Still, who wouldn't be excited for snow and a lazy day?
        Then all of a sudden, my phone vibrated with another message saying that school was actually "un-cancelled". I was furious. How could they do that to us. What a cruel joke. I went back out into the hallway to rant with everyone about this. I didn't know it  was possible for one text to make people so incredibly happy and another text make people so angry and upset all in the same hour. Now we were left angry to finish all the work we could have been doing in that hour. Some people were even considering skipping classes anyway, but I didn't think I could be that bold. Plus, I already missed English the week before because I had to take a test at the empo. Anyways, I'm sure teachers and students would agree that this was a ridiculous thing to do to us.
       I wake up the next day telling myself that it was going to be a good day anyway, but the moment I stepped out the door it felt like i was walking into a freezer. I loved seeing the snow falling, but the wind chill ruined it. It was sooooo unbelievably cold and miserable to walk a half mile from Lee hall to my classes. People at home wouldn't understand. The cold up here in the mountains seems so much more frigid than the cold weather back home. All day was miserable, and not to complain, but most of this week has been miserable too. On the bright side it's almost the weekend.
