Yes, that's right. Double snow day. (I love working for independent schools.)
As you've probably heard, the east coast got a good dose of winter a few days ago. I spent most of Wednesday at J's house, watching episode after episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and marveling at the snow from the comfort of a couch. It felt indulgent and extremely irresponsible (considering the pile of grading I still had left to do), but snow days demand irresponsibility. Everyone's a kid on snow days.
Then, on Thursday, we both got a second day because the roads weren't clear. Even though Providence public schools had reopened, even though the parking ban was lifted. So I spent that second day acting a little more like a grown-up, writing a history exam and battling with the roads to photocopy the exam for Friday.
But that afternoon, I let it all go again and watched Harry Potter and baked sea salt brownies and went for one of those winter walks. It was absolutely magical.
