It was just another normal Tuesday at school, all the classes were going normally and everything was fine, right up until lunch. As the end of lunch neared more and more rumors started circling that school would be canceled for the rest of the week. No one knew for sure, and it was quite chaotic. When I got to math class the teacher advised us that the rumors were being confirmed. Due to heavy rainfall school would be canceled for the rest of the week. They school announced an assembly which was to be held during the last fifteen minutes of class. As everyone finished up their math tests we filed out of the classroom and made our way to the auditorium. Everyone was buzzing with excitement. No school! That was great! The principal announced that many states had been declared in emergency situation and ours finally had had too. Landslides were occurring everywhere with people dying and many losing houses. This was tragic but that still could not suppress the excitement. Of course we would be assigned work to do at home, but it was still like a Holliday to everyone. I enjoyed my free days, hanging out with friends, going to the movies… Doing regular teenage things. On Sunday I spent my entire day doing homework. When I finally finished I logged onto my Facebook and everyone started talking about there not being school Monday. No one knew for sure so it was crazy. Finally the school managed to send out an email to all the parents and teachers saying there would not be school on Monday or Tuesday. More Holliday!! But the bad thing was, Finals were next week so it really wouldn’t be a Holliday. All the teachers posted more work online so we could study for finals and be prepared. So that is what I spent my Monday and Tuesday… Studying.
