magical snow angel

man i have to take this math test again tomorrow. i have to prove that i'm ready for stats, because they actually found out that i don't meet the requirements for it, so they are going to drop me if i don't pass this test. it's on the computer, and i took it, and i did okay, but not good enough. luckily i have two more chances before they drop me, but it was a good preview, and i know what to study now, so not to worry! i'm going to do great. i take it at 6:00 tuesday, so everyone send good vibes. if i still don't do well enough, i can take it again on the 29th.

but when i found out they were planning on dropping me (through an email), they didn't tell me that i could take a test, so they just made a blanket statement: "we're dropping you because you don't meet the requirements." so i didn't know what the heck was going on, so I decided to call them and ask what i could do and how they could help me, but...

i couldn't find my phone!

i got on the computer to see who was online to ask them to text/call me so i could hear it, but i didn't hear it. so figured i must've had it on silent. then i was forlorn, because the school offices were closed, so i just wanted to talk to my mom so i would feel better and be able to handle the situation, but then she wasn't online and i remembered i couldn't find the phone. so sad.

eventually she got online. i told her the story. she made me feel better. then i decided to give it one more try to find my phone. i thought and thought and though...

and i remembered what i did two days earlier.

i was going to check the mail right after it stopped snowing (we've been snowing forever up here). the courtyard/field thing had all this fresh powder, and no one even stepped in it yet! i hate snow, but even i had to admit this was an amazing chance--a whole field to decorate by myself. i decided to make the word "love" out of footprints in cursive, and it was fureakin amazing! i did so good. then i decided that since i was in the snow and cold already, I would do a snow angel. so i jumped as far as i could from the "e" and plopped my butt down and did a snow angel.

so ha, do you understand why this is such a great thing to remember?

Maybe...just maybe...maybe my phone fell out of my pocket while i was making my angel.

then i thought, crap, because with my luck my phone died, and then it's been snowing since i did my angel, so my phone is probably ruined. if it even is out there. plus, someone could have seen it and stolen it (unlikely).

i asked my mom to call the phone twice, and i went outside, and do you know what happened? I heard my ringtone! that blessed pirates of the carribean remix!

I ran toward the angel and saw a light peering at me through the snow, and my phone was giving off the light! i laughed and laughed and i answered the phone.

it was cold on my ear. but it worked.

i put it to dry in the dish rack. and here's the miracle:

my phone has not died yet. it has been 6 days since i charged it. i am notorious for my phone's weak battery and my inability to charge it.

i think that angel i made was a magic guardian angel. it made sure that my phone was safe and worked. plus, it blessed my phone with an extra dose of holiday battery power.

ta da!

wasn't that a great story? it made me laugh...ha ha!
