Pet Peeve #29 – Hurricanes


Are you excited? You got a day off school and now you want to go to the liquor store? You want to throw a party? You want to get swept off your feet? That’s romantic, but I’m not talking about romance. I’m talking about the strongest winds you’ve ever experienced literally pushing you to the ground. If that’s not enough to wipe that smile off your face, I’m sure a tree falling and landing on your head can.

                Do people hate school that much? So much that the danger and the pain that hurricane Sandy has the potential to bring actually brings you happiness? Wouldn’t you rather just be warm in class for 100 minutes today and know that no one died and no lives were ruined? Didn’t we just have two days off of school? It’s called a weekend, there’s one at the end of every week. It gives us a much needed break from work and school, a chance to relax after five days of focus. Are you telling me you needed an extra day off so bad that you are celebrating by jumping into the pond during a hurricane? Is life that hard right now? If it is, I feel for you, I really do. But take a moment to think about what you’re celebrating. Nobody was smiling during Katrina.
