I posted before about it snowing for the first time in around 7 years, but that snow was fairly light and didn't settle on the ground. Today however, it snowed really heavily, and all of it settled.
It started snowing in the middle of my English class, the teacher wouldn't let us go outside, but about ten minutes after it started a message came up on the whiteboard from the deputy head saying that the school was going to close at 11:30 and they were phoning all the students parents. Everyone was acting like little kids, despite being students less than a few months away from their final exams. The teacher then left the class for a minute and two students jumped out the window. Yes, that happened.
Me and a couple of friends walked home, taking a few detours to take in the scenery. It was like the winter we had spent years as kids wishing for once more, and it really brought us back to our childhood years, back when it used to snow. We rolled a giant snowball all the way from the school halfway with us, but it got too big so we broke it.
We built snow sculptures in the local park, then destroyed them, we even had a snowball fight with my friends little sister and her friends. Then we went to a friends house, I watched Black Butler for the first time ever (honestly why did it take me so long-) then went to my house and walked my dog, whom I had never seen react to snow before.
School is also closed tomorrow and possibly Friday, as more snow is forecast. The first snow days I will ever get in nearly a decade, and so close until I leave school too.
This month was overall terrible, took an awful toll on my mental health and generally just made me feel really down and hopeless all the time. But this day has given me some faith. Good things can happen, I can enjoy life if I can find the motivation to.
