Finals Week/ Ice storm

It’s the finals week. Which means school will be over by the end of the week. The first day, I didn’t have any exams, just one paper to turn in, so I was pretty glad to be able to sleep in - not that I ever sleep in that much (my record is 10.45 am). Then my cellphone buzzed. A message, from a strange number. It said something like: “Campus will be closed at 1.30pm due to ice storm warning.”

I was baffled, at first. Then I looked out the window. Rain. Could it actually turn into an ice storm? I reached for my laptop and checked the weather forecast. Sure enough, it stated ice storm warning for this area. And it was to remain till noon the next day. Hm. Interesting.

The rains stopped soon enough. But the day remained cloudy and very wet. And I saw no ice. Perhaps the night will bring ice-covered roads, because the temperature is currently below 0.

Of course, the trouble in all that is the some people’s finals in the afternoon have to be rescheduled. Me? I just have to find a way to make up two hours’ work time. Somehow.

The funny thing is that, looking at the week’s forecast, tomorrow will be rainy too, so will Wednesday, reaching highs of 14 degrees Celsius, but on Thursday the temperature jumps to a high of 24 degrees Celsius. Which I don’t think I’ve seen since November or something.
