THE FIRST SNOW DAY IN MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE
Well, I'm going to tell you all about it in truly excruciating detail...and I hear the beginning is a good place to start.
I've recently found myself a job.
6-8....In the A.M.
Monday through Friday you can find me cleaning bathrooms in the science building.
It's the most glamorous thing I've ever done.
Really, I heard that Taylor Swift started out cleaning bathrooms, and look where she is now.
jk.
So Taylor Swift and I don't have that specific thing in common, but I'm still going to become the most valued member of her squad..one day.
Anywho...
Me being the semi-responsible, semi-independent semi-adult that I am woke up to go to work giving myself an extra ten minutes because I wasn't completely oblivious to what the weather was like the night before.
And now we begin the snow woes.
That is the term I have coined for all the trouble the snow caused me.
I know I should probably copyright it or something because it's uber creative.
Also this may sound like I was having an awful morning, but really I was laughing at myself and thinking about what a beautiful mess this was the whole entire time.
Anywho...
(how many anywho's before I actually get to the meat of this blogpost is anyone's guess)
Snow Woe #1
Walk outside, get to my car, unlock it.
5:45 A.M. in case you forgot.
Try to open the back door.
Try harder to open the back door.
Try really really hard to open the back door.
Try the hardest I've ever tried to open my back door.
Come to the conclusion that my back door is frozen shut.
Think for fifteen seconds about how to go about fixing this problem.
Realize that my conclusion was a little hasty, and the fact that I'm not really sure that this actually is my car.
So automatically I go to the license plate, spend some time clearing the snow from the license plate.
Realize that I'm not entirely sure what my license plate number is.
Spend another minute uncovering snow until I realize that I may not know what my license plate number is, but I do know that I don't have SUU's mascot on my license plate.
So I try unlocking my car again, this time noticing the sound is actually coming from a snow-covered car shaped object on the other side of the parking lot.
lol.
The funniest part about this is that I'm blaming it all on the fact that my car was covered in snow, but this is maybe not the first time I have been confused about why I could not get into my car before realizing that I was working with the wrong car.
In my defense I'm not Kylie Jenner and Tyga did not give me a custom made ferrari on my eighteenth birthday with my initials embroidered on the seats. I also don't have lips the size of Nevada.
Turns out Mitsubushi made more than one Galant in the year 2006.

Snow Woe #2
I get to my actual car and this time I only have to try kind of hard to open the back door.
Grab the handy dandy snow scraper I didn't know was in my trunk for the first half of winter. So glad I had figured it out by now, because the hand held mirror I had been using probably wasn't going to cut it this time.
+ I start scraping
+continue scraping
+see absolutely no progress

I continued this process until maybe ten minutes and when I'm just about convinced that this is just a pile of snow shaped like a car a miracle occurs and I see that this is indeed my actual car.
When I'm finally in a place where I think driving is an option I quickly realize that it is not when my tires are like this.

SO YOU KNOW HOW I MADE A REALLY BIG DEAL ABOUT HOW THIS WAS ON FEBRUARY 1ST.
WELL NOW IT IS JULY 26TH AND I'M LEAVING ON A MISSION TOMORROW AND I'M STUCK WITH A HALF WRITTEN BLOG POST ABOUT A DAY I REALLY WANT TO REMEMBER.
BUT I'M POSTING IT ANYWAY.
*********************************************
Long story short.
-I spent an hour getting to work which is normally a five minute drive
-A cop had to help me get down this hill and I spent the whole time promising I had just noticed the headlight went out that morning
-I fall on my butt walking to work
-AS SOON AS I STEP INTO THE SCIENCE BUILDING WE ARE TOLD SCHOOL IS CANCELED AND CAMPUS IS CLOSED AND WE CAN GO HOME.
- I dance a little bit
-I get stuck trying to go home
-Jared came and save me and I drive off
-Jared gets in a minor car accident with someone else as a result of saving me.
-I FEEL TERRIBLE.
-Me and my roommate Sid make cookies and deliver them to the apartment complex
-I get really close to fulfilling my life long goal..our apartments have stairs right in front of the door and we were sledding down the stairs out the door and off the porch.
-it actually wasn't that successful
-I PLAY THE REALEST SNOW FOOTBALL GAME OF MY LIFE WITH THE REALEST PEOPLE I KNOW.
-drink some hot chocolate because how could you not.
-I go to bed and start a blog post that I would not finish for another six months.
that actually still wasn't that short.
BUT STILL.
CATCH YA ON THE FLIP SIDE.
(also I didn't proof read this thing, so sorry if I sound ridiculous.)
(but that's probably what you were expecting anyway.)
