First off all: Snow is amazing when you get just a light layer of it. All of you northerners (if I have any northerners reading this) will probably start to tell me how terrible snow is and how it's such a pain. I'm from the south. I rarely see snow. And this was less than an inch that melted away before the day was over. So where you are, yes, snow probably is a pain, but let me enjoy what little snow I get here. It got me a day off school.
That brings me to a second thing. It's lucky I don't like to do history homework. I really didn't want to work on research for a debate for my history class, so I did my math homework instead. I thought I wouldn't have math until tomorrow because my school has block scheduling. Turns out, because of the snow day, we just skipped the classes we would have had on Friday. So not only did I not have to go to history class, I actually had my math homework ready.
Don't get me wrong, I love history, and it's very interesting to me. But I like learning about history my way, on my time. There's yet to be a history class I've actually enjoyed. I don't like essays and I can't memorize dates and names for the most part. I like to just pick up those kinds of things.
Thirdly, I don't get why people complain about poetry. We're starting a unit on romanticism in English, and the poems are really easy to read if English class isn't your thing and really incredible and beautiful if it is. I like the romanticism era, it's very...bohemian. I think there are some great poems and works of art from that time.
Alright, I've wasted enough time. I've got poems to read and ancient civilizations to learn about.

it's hard to explain why us poetry haters hate poetry, but it's kind of like... each poet from thye same time period is saying the same thing in differant ways. As i have been saying romanticism is "Oh, I'm so sad, there's some nature, blah."
