Snow Day


If I’m not upset after today then I don’t know what to call it. I was so anxious for today. I was supposed to have an interview with the guy who teaches traditional karate. The plan was for me to go to the class that’s at 9:45-10:30am then after the class I was going to interview him. But things didn’t work out as planned. This is why . . .

We had a lot of snow come through our city last night so the roads were kind of bad and it was a lot to shovel if you have a driveway. I shoveled last night and when I woke up this morning I was ready to go. Since it’s the weekend and the buses don’t run as often then my mom was going to take me. But then my sister needed the car for work and my mom wasn’t going to leave the house yet so my sister boyfriend was going to take me there. Come to find out the car wouldn’t start.

After trying to start it for 10 minutes we decided to call AAA. I had 45 minutes to get to my class and AAA wasn’t going to be at the house for another hour ad a half. So I called the martial arts place to see if I can get in contact with the guy to let him know my situation just incase I end up late. But when I called no one answered (which can be typical since they have a class in session at the time.)

So I called a taxi so that I can still make it to the class on time being that the place is only a 10-minute drive from my house. After that I made a quick call to Harry to ask him if he would be able to pick me up from the traditional karate place but he said not to worry about coming to the dojo today because he believes the numbers will be low based on how bad the weather is. Plus it would be a bit of a push to leave the traditionally karate place to go to the shoshindo dojo.

So when the taxi came I told them where to go and I found the dojo. I paid the driver $12 to go 3 miles from my house only to find out that the dojo was closed today. They must have canceled classes based on the weather. I was going to have my mom take me from the traditional karate place to shoshindo but my mom car still wasn’t working after AAA came. They said they think “her gas pipe froze”, or something like that.

The only solution is to wait until it gets warmer outside. Maybe that’s my only solution also. Just have to wait for a better day to do everything. I needed to attend the class and interview the guy for my research paper but I just can’t do it.
