White day: A day where the school leaves school and heads out to various locations to practice winter activities. This definition should be altered to :
A day where the school leaves school and heads out to various locations to practice winter activities and 25% of the students don't show up.
To those who didn't turn up, a gift for you: a healthy kick to the groin. You're welcome
Anyways, White day turned black when the power went out. Yes, the power went out. Dead middle of winter and the power goes out. Unluckily, we weren't at school. We were already outside freezing—but also having fun with friends. Hopefully Hydro Quebec won't have gotten it fixed by tomorrow which means we won't have school. However, it's unlikely, because Hydro QC has gotten quite a lot of experience following the '98 ice storm. Really froze their butts, that one did. As Scarface said: "Hope equals disappointment". (Incidentally, those were the wisest words he's ever said since he intoned: "Treat every gun as if it were loaded" and almost shot himself shortly thereafter.)
So let's not hope and pray too much. I'm sure God is tired of hearing us. Besides, he hasn't made anything happen yet. Should we try the Devil instead?(I'm just keeping all options open, you never know.)
If indeed tomorrow would be a no school day, it would open up a realm of possibilities. The students could each pitch in a few dollars, and the collected money could be used to bribe an Hydro QC worker to "accidentally" shut off power to the school. It would give us a well deserved day off once in awhile. The poorly paid worker would be better off as well. On the long term, it might even persuade CSMB to relocate to a newer building. (O miracle!)
