This one is long, but I'm pissed.

So about a month ago, it snowed for about a day and a half. It took me 35 minutes to make a 12 minute drive, and all of the classes at Dutchess were excused around 4:00 due to the weather. I walked down to the parking lot, which was empty except for about 8 cars. I got in my car and proceeded to make my journey home through the darkness and sheets of snow. The inability to safely drive over 25-30 mph (15 mph most of the way, and this is on a road with a 45 mph speed limit) along with the extra 22 minutes added to my drive gave me time to think.

I thought abut why the plows had only cleared the opposite side of the road, and not the one leading me home. I thought about whether or not I could have made it home 4 hours later, and 13 inches of snow deeper. Mostly, I thought about the only class that probably didn't get canceled. My 5:00 English 101 class. The one that's 3 hours long. The one that I would have had to wait an hour to go to while I watched my car slowly disappear into the snow, and the one that would have forced me to dig through the snow at 8pm for any hopes of finding my car.

Yes, it's true, my instructor knew the weather was too dangerous for driving. That's why she stayed home. I should have been there though. At least that's what she said to me. I should have been in the library, signing attendance sheets, researching for my paper, collecting graded assignments, and being carefully monitored by the librarian (who she had payed) in an empty library. That would have been the correct thing to do if I didn't want to lose 10% from my final grade.

So, out of the 5 people, with fancy 4-wheel drive SUVs that they got from their daddys, who did stay, the rest of the class is also in my situation. Those who are left. Those who didn't drop the course when the realized that this woman is a VICIOUS BITCH WHO NEEDS SOME DICK.

My point in writing this is that: I PAID FUCKING TUITION TO SIT IN A CLASS WITH YOUR FRIGID ASS. GIVE ME SOME FUCKING RESPECT. I AM JUST AS ENTITLED TO SAFETY AS YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE. STOP BEING A BITCH AND MAYBE YOUR HUSBAND WILL FUCK YOU.

Seriously. School policy states that "On days when the College remains open during inclement weather, students should make their own determination whether to attempt to travel to class based on the safety of road conditions in their own locale. Students will not be penalized for missing class under this circumstance". FUCK YOU.
