Who would have guessed? Only the third day of school and we get a day off. Apparently our whole county had horrible flooding last night and we got the day off. And the best part? My little brother, who goes to a private school, still has to go! Sure I'll have to make it up someday, but man, what a way to start off the year! Yes, everything is going to plan, soon the school-related threads will take over the OGB! Mwahahahaha!

Aw a rain day is so cool! We only get snow days and a couple of "cold days" - our school heat is so bad that they think people could get hypothermia from being inside it. I hope that everything's all right and nothing got ruined though!

My school doesn't have many snow days and we never get off for flooding (the flooding has to happen around the school campus).

The only time I can remember our school getting out for rain was when my elementary school flooded. We did get out for a rash though. xD

Oh, wow. That must be some pretty serious flooding.
I can only remember one time that our school was canceled for something other than snow. There was a tropical storm that hit and it caused really bad blackouts and some flooding, so they canceled school for one or two days. That was back in third grade or something, though. xD
There was one day this year when it was over 100 degrees out. And since we live in New York and the summer doesn't usually get so hot, a lot of our schools don't have air conditioning. So a lot of districts got off from school. But not ours. =P

I guess I could call you lucky, but that is too weird.

Well the good news is that I got two tests and a reading assignment pushed back to Tuesday, but it turns out we have to make it up December 22. D:
Oh well, it was worth it . . .

My cousin got out of school on the first day back for flooding, she lives in Florida. There was water all the way up to her front porch!
My school almost never gets canceled, at times it does for icey roads, never snow though, we don't get enough. I'm glad though, I don't like snow all that much, or ice.

Lucky. That kinda happened to me last year on the 1st day, school was delayed for 2 hours because of fog. We had a lot of snow days too (Actually more than we were allowed to have, but we didn't make it up over the summer.)

I guess I could call you lucky, but that is too weird. It's normal to go to school when there is a flood? Floods carry sewage and poisons from household cleaners it has washed away. Along with led and animals. Is it still weird to have a rain day? l_l In 5th grade I had a Fog Day. o.O But like 10 minutes after the called school off the fog lifted. XD

I know that there is a reason to cancel school for flooding, but it was so random and unexpected, plus Wednesday was the only day this week it didn't rain all day.

We got out the day Hurricane Katrina hit. It barely even rained where we were - I mean, we're far north in Mississippi, but we got out nonetheless. Also, if there's a threat of a tornado during a big storm, we might be let out - we were once and nothing happened. So, yeah. Rain days are odd but awesome.

Well, it turns out that we don't have to make up our make-up day during Winter Break, but instead we have to go to school this Saturday. -__-
