CLASSES ARE CANCELLED FOR THE REST OF THE DAY

I don't know what to do with myself. I think I'll do some baking, play in the snow, write an outline for my spanish essay, play in the snow, study my lines for Macbeth (all 5 of them), play in the snow, watch a movie and if I have time, play in the snow.

Do you have a sled? There are few things more awesome in life than having no school and zipping down a hill.

[Inner Stickler]

No, I have no sled

But I have hope! That's like the same thing, right?!

[Zuul]

Totally. Okay, so what you need to do is get a cardboard box and some wax paper. Wrap the box in the wax paper. Sit in the box. Go.

I'm currently in talks with my roommate who has a meal plan to get him to swipe a tray from the cafeteria for me.

[Zuul]

Excellent! Another option is the plastic lid off of a garbage can.

[Inner Stickler]

I wonder what other ordinary objects could be turned into makeshift sleds.

[Zuul]

When I was a little kid, we'd cut down one side of a Big Gulp cup, lay it out flat, and use that.

As you are not a little kid, I'm not sure your butt would fit.

[Joanne Worley Voice]IS THAT A FAT JOKE?![/JWV]

[Zuul]

No. It was an age joke!

[Inner Stickler]

As if that makes it any better.

Don't get a serving tray. They're okay, but for awesome what you want are one of the plastic pantry trays they keep in the back of the dining hall.

Put some ski wax on that and then pray you'll have a way to stop at the bottom of the hill. Or that there's no traffic coming.

A friend of mine in college was stalking (I tried to find a better word for it, but really couldn't) a guy that she had a thing for but was too chickenshit to talk to, and after spending one afternoon sitting in the cafeteria watching him use a lunch tray to slide down a hill nearby, she noticed him haphazardly discard it. She then took the tray and hid it in her dorm room. True, if somewhat disturbing, story.

Me? I slid down that hill without anything to help me.

Back in school I have borrowed cafeteria trays for sledding. In my opinion they worked wonderfully chaotic.
