hmmm, our kitchen burned today. I was at work while it happened. Thank god that nobody got hurt! The damage will be around 5000-6000 EUR. Bad day for me and my family today.
Early last year, a pipe burst at our lake house, and we had to get new carpeting and other stuff done. What was even worse than that, though, is that Lowes took practically all year just to order our carpet from their supplier and then install it.
The best snow day I've had was in this January. I woke up to check the district website and it said that school was supposed to be 2 hours late, but when I arrived at the bus stop the bus driver said that school had just been canceled (for reasons beyond my current understanding of the inner workings of superintendents' brains). Anyways, I went to my friend's house and threw snowballs and all that fun stuff.
Quote from XIIIMXIII:
The Alaskan winter has been pretty mild this year...
My first native snowfall has happened. I had my first free from school days. I made my first snowman. I kung-fu'd my first snowman. I recorded a video of me kung-fuing my first snowman.
In other news, I now have the ethos to say that PoR and Baten Kaitos are better than what you think it is.
Anyway, I got a total of three and a half days off school, due to massive amounts of ice covering everything. You can literally drive a car over top of the snow on the driveway, and it will not sink down-- the snow's been covered by multiple layers of solid ice. I feel like Jesus walking around my backyard (and so does my dog).
Unfortunately, it took me 80 minutes to go a distance of about eight miles today to get to class due to the snow and REALLY slow traffic that resulted from it. (Normally takes about 20-30 min on good days.) So I wasn't happy at all this morning, and to top it all off I found out I have a lot of work to do this weekend for the class where we're working on the game.
