How much does it need to snow?

It needs to be very icey and dangerous, as then teachers can't get in etc. Had no more snow today so looks unlikely as most should be cleared by tommorrow...

Not that i go to school any more

Lmao that's stupid

Here in Austria the teachers will only say "Shut up and come early enough to my class." lol

Haha that's true. But still, it baffles me when I hear a mate of mine (not really a mate but yeah) talking about how school in England was canceled due to snowfall - 2 fucking centimetres of snow! Whereas I can walk through 50-60cm of snow at 7 in the morning to get my bus which will arrive at school with a 30mins delay.

Yeah, that happens. If we had half a meter of snow and school was on, i would have been most upset...

Here it doesn't matter how much snow there is (and let me just tell you that here there is a shitload of it) or how cold it is, everyone still has to go to work and school. If memory serves, there was one time when I was a kid when my school was closed for a day. It must have been below -35 degrees celsius that day...

I had school closed a couple of times. Once, there was a blizzard, once an ice storm. -25 and heavy snow? Who cares? Go to school!!! I had cousins who lived in D.C. then and if there was any snowfall at all, they'd get school cancelled.

Schools don't close here even when there are cars slipping down hills. One of these days, there will be a truck full of petro trying to climb up one of those snowy hills only to fail miserably and slip rapidly toward and collide with a local restaurant, which happened to be enjoying its peak hour, exploding and bursting into flames and killing thousands of lives and causing over $500 trillion damage. The B.C. Ministry of Education will have to take the blame because the driver of the truck and his employers were all former B.C. students, who knew nothing about staying at home and drink cocoa instead of doing something stupid (e.g. going to school) in unsafe weather conditions.

I can't wait to visit Canada. Thinking of setting a date for next year. I don't know why it is but I just really want to go, looks one hell of a country. Any advice on where the best place to stay would be and where not to go?

There is a wax doll collection of the British royal family. Are you into those at all? Those are about the most interesting things in Canada.

Am not! Having the highest GPA between Electrical Engineering students does not necessarily mean I'm a nerd

NERD! Well done though, congrats! Do you have perfect grades?

I finished 14/750, not that bad, but still a handful of people ahead of me. I finished my first year with an average of 91%. A fucking nerd with no life finished with a perfect 100%...

I fucked up though, I have one super idiot teacher. I questioned his method once and I payed the price. 67%.
