Today was...odd

To be perfectly honest, I don't have anything insightful to say, I don't have a funny story to tell, and I am not really sure why I felt like I wanted to write a blog right now. Perhaps I have done too much homework and my brain is fried. Perhaps I just want to escape from school, knowing I'm stuck here for another 2 and half hours. But, today was, and still is, odd. I woke up this morning, tired, cranky, and groggy. I wanted to just hit the snooze button and never wake up again. After a few moments (all right....a half hour) of waking up, I started on my homework. My mom calls me from the kitchen "Ashton!" I assume something is wrong. I so spring to life and jog down the hall and I hear "Are you seeing this?" I am confused then I look out the window and BAM! IT'S SNOWING! The dream of every student: a snow day. But it stopped snowing about a half hour later and there was no snow on my campus or at any homes near the campus...so, lovely! I still had to go to school. 
So I go to school at around 10:40ish, my first class of the day starts at noon, so I have time to do homework. I sit in the library and read the skinniest 200 page book you will ever see in your life. I made a good dent in it before I went to eat lunch outside. It's still bitterly cold, but I wanted to be in silence. I grabbed my book and my peanut butter and jelly sandwich and started reading. Then out of nowhere, here comes a skipping friend to join me. She made my day. She was so full of life and joy today. Then a boy by the name of Daniel walked by. He's becoming a friend of mine, I have met him twice before. He was with a friend. He greets me, and then walks away. He comes back out in a short while and sits down next to me. His friend is still with him. I ask him how he's doing, he says fine. His friend chimes in and says "Daniel's got a girlfriend." Now this sounds like me. I have done that to my friends before. But I could tell he didn't like it. I defended him by saying I have only met him twice before. His friend still wouldn't let up. Then the time had come when I had to go to my class. My good friend and I parted ways while Daniel and his friend seemed to be stalking me. Why? I don't know. I do know that Daniel ran in front of me to get the door for me. Oh, how sweet. :) So I walk to the door to my classroom when lo and behold: IT'S CANCELED! Yeah, thanks for letting me know...
I then go back to my place in the library when I run into a friend of mine who is also in the class that was canceled. We sat next to each other and both worked on homework for two hours. I also run into a friend whom I haven't seen in almost 3 months. I go back to my computer and check my e-mail, then I realize that my teacher's Secretary sent me an e-mail telling me that class was canceled....my bad.
I ask my friend if she knows how to set up an advisor appointment. She says I can e-mail them and she shows me how. AWESOME! Now I can get that done...right? WRONG! I filled out the form, hit send.....and the little spinning loading circle of death spun for God knows how long. Then a screen pops up that says "Sever Error." What in cheese puffs is that supposed to mean?! So I try again, this time the spinning circle of death spun for, no lie, 10 MINUTES! I had to log off and go to my next class so I didn't get a chance to e-mail my advisor. ....lame.
I go to my next class that was full of misunderstandings. Now, don't get me wrong, I like my teacher as a friend...but as a teacher...well, sometimes (and this happens to me all the time, hence why I don't want to be a teacher) there's a miscommunication with a question that is asked. So we spent at least half of the class time arguing with the teacher, trying to make him understand what the question was. Me? I stayed out of it and doodled for the duration of the class period.
So, today seems normal to those who don't have my life, but to me, the only word I can use to describe it is odd. Because it was good in some parts, bad in some parts, and in some parts I had mixed feelings. Tomorrow it's supposed to snow here....Thursday too. I wonder what tomorrow will be like.
