My Slush Adventure

So it snowed last night. I love snow and all, but never when it snows at night. You see, living on the west coast and all, it tends to rain. A lot. So if it ever snows at night it's always followed by rain. So this morning I woke up and looked out the window and saw like 7 feet of snow. Well it was more like 3 cm but whatever, I can wish.

So I went outside and was greeted by slush which kinda blew away my whole " YAY OMG I LOVE SNOW YAY!!!!!!!!!" fest. I managed to get a ride to school (thank god) instead of having to walk for half an hour in knee high slush puddles. After school I was tricked into catching the bus with Tara, Martin, Pauline, Raygun, and Sabrina.

We left the school building and looked at the path leading to the bus stop. It was terrible. The whole path was covered on a huge thick layer of slush. Being the stupids we are we decided to try and brave it instead of going around.

After the first couple of steps I realized it was a bad idea, but how bad could it get? My shoes weren't water proof by the way. A few more steps into it we were forced up against the portable to keep from being engulfed in muddy slushness, and nobody wants that. We rounded the portable and arrived at a huge  mud puddle that we decided we could all jump over. Sabrina and Paulina were smart enough to take the path (although it wasn't much better)

As I'm sure you all know, when you jump over something and the other side is covered in ice and slush and mud, the best thing you can do to stop from slipping is to try and keep running, so we did. Me and Raygun went after martin and forgot to stop running. That's when "IT" happened. I passed Raygun and just as I did, she slipped. She kept going when she hit the ground though so it was probably fun.

All the way to the bus stop she was soaked (at least her back was) and she was even smart enough to keep running after she got up! So she went to the path and Sabrina decided to join me and try to make the journey around the slush instead of taking the path. The field was dry (snow covered, but slush free! ) so we had a great trip until we came across a lake.

it wasn't very deep. well it was higher than an ankle so i might be wrong...oh well. so we jumped...and made it halfway across and landed with a huge splash! not fun though. so he ran/hopped the rest of the way to the bus. we got on and went to the back (the only place where there were seats) and everyone sat down except for Raygun, who stood cuz she was too wet. i had to sit across from everyone, but luckily i was able to sit next to Nicolas cuz he just happened to be on the bus.

and that was my slush adventure. not very fun...but at the same time it was!. until next time. bye!
