i honestly prefer a -50C than a slippery road. i chose it out and based from an experience... that just took place hours ago.
we had an ice rain this morning. it wasn't enough to keep us from going to school though. so yeah, no big deal... or so i thought. i realized that the outside could be so dangerous with a slippery road. the painful weather did it again.
man... it only took me one step, and i almost fell. i was literally skating my way through the bus stop, i wasn't even walking anymore. but that's not all. the bus was 20 mins. late. fortunately this morning's chilliness was absolutely bearable. i didn't get any purple fingers or anything of the sort.
while i was sitting on the bus, i was also making decisions. should i go the long way? with high chances of being late, but with a low chance of slipping, or falling. or should i go the short way? with low chances of being late, but high chances of falling and slipping (because there was a little walking to do).
guess what my stupid logic chose? yep, the second one. i completely forgot about that elevation on the road! the other people walked on it as if the ice was there for all their lives. i tried my best to go up on that little elevation but obviously, i kept falling back down. it sucked. i felt so helpless. then i tried putting my left leg on the upper part of the elevation, but i hesitated to move my right... so i fell but good thing my hands caught me or it might've been the end of my face. it took me thirty minutes before i decided to go through the deep snow road. probably add a few minutes of skating after that. then when i finally arrived at the front of the school doors, the bus that i just rode mins. ago just passed by.
GHAADD. that was an awful decision making i did back there. Mr. Marshall didn't mark me late though. it was nice of him to consider me because of the weather. (well it really was the weather's fault).
lesson for myself: NEVER go thorugh the shortcut EVER. i prefer a -50C than a slippery road! skate-walking is NOT funny at all.
haa i need to study for drivers now. D:
