Well, for the most part, this year's Canadian winter has been easy to handle because I've been off of school for the last month. Nearly the whole month of December I've been toasty warm in my house.
Now, school has resumed and Mother Nature has decided this week would be the best week to create weather of apocalyptic proportions. Today, the temperature outside feels like MINUS FORTY. Yes, you read it right, -40 degrees Celsius is the weather in which I am expected to wait outside for my bus like a pig ready for slaughter.
One would think that WAY below freezing temperatures like that would at least afford students one or two days of school closures. Not a chance. I'd like to meet whoever decides on these type of things, because obviously they're extremely confused and/or deranged. If it's being said that human skin should not be exposed to this type of temperature for more than five minutes, what makes this person think it's a grand idea for us to trek to school? Sure, I have a pretty extensive collection of hats and mittens, but my balaclava collection is lacking.

The worst part is going onto social media and seeing all of the other school closures that aren't your school. It feels like every other institution of education was like "Let's preserve the lives of our students and let them be all snuggly at home." While mine had no remorse of any sort.
Luckily for me, I'm a princess and there is no way I will subject myself to that kind of torture, therefore, I have created my own snow day for myself. I like to call it "Christina-Values-Her-Skin-Too-Much-For-It-To-Be-Burned-Off-By-Ungodly-Temperatures Day".
