FACTS:
• I am dogsitting for family friends all week, which means that a) I am much closer to campus than usual, b) I have their car to use, and c) I also have their parking pass.
• I am expected back at home for dinner tonight.
• I have one class today, for which I have done all of the necessary work and which I usually enjoy.
• It is SNOWING LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER.
• University of Homestate prides itself on never canceling class. Because they're jackasses.

With those things in mind, should I:

A. Go to class (it's good for me! and it's not like it will take actual work! (apart from shoveling out the driveway)), and go to dinner (om nom nom FOOD).

A'. Go to class, but take the BUS (less shoveling, more walking).

B. Skip class (going on to campus for ONE HOUR is a huge pain), but go to dinner (same amount of shoveling, but later in the day, and after the roads are plowed).

C. Skip class, make dinner with whatever I can find here. LAZINESS IS ME. (I'll still have to shovel out the driveway EVENTUALLY).

HELP ME, LJ. I CAN'T DECIDE.

ETA: Just called my mom, who told me in no uncertain terms that if I so much as set foot outside for any purposes other than dog-walking before the roads were plowed, I would be grounded from here to eternity. (My dad, who drove in this morning at 7 AM in his VW BUG, is also grounded.)

Guess that settles that! Now to find out what's on TV.

yeah, I'm kind of thinking the same thing - fooooood. that I don't have to cooooooook! - but I'm just not sure on the class side of things. We get two unexcused absences! so this could be one of them! but then I'm like WHAT IF I COME DOWN WITH THE MARTIAN FISH FLU IN MARCH AND NEED TO MISS TWO WEEKS OF CLASS???? :/

Well, flu would count as an excused absence, would it not? Also, if you know you don't have anything super important going on in class today, I think safety trumps going. What? Snowy roads can be dangerous!

that is true! And, yeah, we're totally not doing anything that important.

...I'm going to give it a while, see if they plow the roads any. If they don't, though, fuck it - unfamiliar car + unplowed roads = GOING BACK TO BED KTHNXBAI.

I'd choose shoveling over bus, you have to shovel out eventually, right? But I also support all not leaving the house

yeah, I think that's where I'm at on that? BUT that would let me put the backache off for another day, which would be nice.

...I think I'm going to give it a little while, but if the roads don't get plowed in the near future, I'm going to say FUCK IT and go back to bed. Driving an unfamiliar car on unplowed roads sounds like...not a great plan.

Yeah, no. STAY SAFE

Good for your mom, because I was about to vote an emphatic C, as I DO NOT WANT TO FLY ACROSS THE COUNTRY ON ACCOUNT OF YOU HAVING ACCIDENTS THANK YOU

my mom: wise in many ways! and, y, I'd MUCH rather you were flying across the country for a HAPPY occasion. Waiting for the roads to be plowed it is!

(although I will have to venture out EVENTUALLY, because T&S do not own any CHEESE. I just. HOW DO THEY LIVE, JAI? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. I mean, they have kraft singles, which are great in the fake-cheese kind of way, but no actual CHEESE, which is clearly just unacceptable. Also they have no orange juice and no coffee. HOW DO THESE PEOPLE LIVE? I don't get it.

...but not until the roads are plowed. *settles back on the couch*)

I....don't think that's ACTUALLY a reason to go out in a snowstorm? But I saw how I was vetoed on that front in NH, so I know I will be again, so just be careful? *hands*

but seriously, yes, HOW DO THEY LIVE? DDDDDDDDDDD:

well, i mean, eventually-when-it-has-stopped-snowing-and-the-roads-are-all-nicely-plowed. because while cheese is great, staying in the house is EVEN GREATER.
