Snow Days.....very beneficial

The snow days have been very beneficial for me. I've put on my teacher hat to catch up on assignments and I'm eventually going to grade some papers that I've been procrastinating on finishing. When my teachers hat is off, one thing that I love to do when I have the chance to do it, is simply relax. One thing I love to do is take naps which is definitely out of the question during the school day. Something else that I do is watch football. Football is one of my passions and I love to simply scribble plays on paper and diagram them on my computer (Don't judge me haha). That is one of the most therapeutic activities that I love to do and I can't get enough of it!! One thing that I've been watching that I enjoy is the winter olympics. During years past that's something I haven't been able to focus on since we all work during the day. It's good to watch them without doing anything rather than grading papers or doing homework. Overall the snow days are not bad and I enjoy any time when I can "recharge" my batteries (Even though we will probably have to make them up at the end of the school year). I would rather the state be more safe than sorry!!!
