Thanks Bland
Well I've never wrote a blog so this is kind of new to me. So lets see how this goes. This week has been crazy and hectic. Tuesday the weather called for snow, which I actually doubted. Virginia weather is so bi-polar you never know what's the weather going to be! I woke up Wednesday morning, looked out the window and everything was white! but school still WASNT closed! It was opening up at 10! It was so ridiculous, the roads are going to be horrible and icy! I told my mom I was absoutely not going even if i did still have class, I wasn't going to risk my life or my car. Thursday morning was a different story. The roads were still bad but I didn't really have a choice so I still had to go to school. By the way, Im VERY unexperienced driving in the snow! well I was on the way to school, everything going good, until I got to flank road.... I was going around the turn, going really slow, and all of a sudden, the ice took over my car and I started sliding! and then in the ditch I go, I had no idea what to do, I just started freaking out! The day could not get any worse. so I'm sitting in the ditch calling everyone, and then this really nice old man came over to me and asked if I was okay and everything and asked if I had called anybody. I was still freaking out at this point so I didn't have a lot to say, he started thinking, and then he said "what if we try to go backwards and get on that driveway?" I didn't want to risk getting more stuck so I wasn't too sure about this idea. I told him he could go right ahead if he wanted to try it. Well thank god I told him he could do it, he got in and did exactly what he said he would do and it worked out perfectly! I was SOOO HAPPY!!! there are no words to explain how happy I was, I was scared my car was going to be damaged and I would have to pay $200 to get it towed! I can't even count how many times I hugged him! there's people like him in this world that I am so thankful for, considering he was the only one that came to make sure I was okay! and I still was able to make it to my 9:30 class!

It was truly unbelievable that bland still made us go to school on Wednesday. Like you i decided that i was not going to risk my life to attend class that day. So instead i stay at home and enjoyed my snow day. I am very glad you are okay though! We should not have school if one of the main roads to get to bland is cover in ice! Bland obviously does not care about commuters safey!
