White, Fluffy, and the Devil's Tool

It seems like it snows every weekend. Today is supposed to have 1-3 inches of snow. Lovely. Just lovely. AND! Today...just to mention...is the first day that I've decided to head back to school since I got sick. So i had to spend my wonderful morning sweeping off my car, stressing about the slippery roads and bad drivers, and trudging through this incessant snow. Oh well...all a part of the Omaha adventure i suppose? :P Anyhow...time to get back to the nitty-gritty.

Snow, snow go away. Come again...NEVER!

Here's my very first post of the new year! And...unfortunately, it will be a rant. :P so please all, bear with me here.

This morning, I awoke unpleasantly to a horrific scene outside. Snow. TONS of snow. Now, I suppose I like snow just as much as the next Hawaii person living in Nebraska (which, let me tell you, isn't very many people), but I especially hate it since I started driving up here. Not only is it difficult to maneuver in 2-3 inches of snow, but it's especially a pain in the you know what to dig my car out first. I started digging around 8:45 this morning and didn't finish until 9:15. Yes. Half an hour to remove some stupid frozen water off of my car. And don't be fooled folks! It looks light and fluffy, but in reality, snow is dense and heavy, and it's seriously just the devil's tool. In any case, after shoveling for 30 minutes (and to add even more awkwardness to the bunch, a school bus was stuck in front of my building, so he was watching me dig the whole time...thanks for helping!!), I finally drove out of my driveway and the indoor car lights turn on. I was so confused, and didn't know why they were on (because apparently my car doesn't like to tell me what exactly is wrong...it just tells me "something" is wrong). Then i looked through my side view mirror and realized..shoot. My back door is swinging open. So i got out of the car and slammed the door. Then i slammed it shut again. And again. And again. AND AGAIN! *$$&%*@*&(@!!!! ok...ok...ok...I did NOT just spend half an hour digging to drive a broken car. So i drove back up to my driveway (bus driver still watching by the way), tried to remove all the snow and ice from the door, and realized that the suction part of the door was warped from the cold and the heat coming from my car. GREAT! So...what did I do?

I stood there. In the cold.

Then I got mad.

So I slammed the door as hard as a could out of pure frustration! and...it stayed. O.O!

I ended up running to the other side of the car, got in, and pushed the door from the inside. YAYAYAYAYAYAY! It stays! So i locked the door, and FINALLY got on my way :).

It usually takes 7 minutes to get to school. Today...and 50 minutes after I left my front door...here I am at school. What a reward. :P
