What a day. It is raining outside and my students are asleep. I feel like sleeping myself. However, I am supposed to be the adult here.
Really, I am not too surprised. One student, in person, asked me if the school was closing. That's what happens when you shut the school down because it is raining. We did that last week. No joke, the whole campus, all of MDCC's campuses, closed early due to weather. I drove away in the sunshine confused but thanking God for giving me some the time back that they took from me the week before.
Today, another student contacted me via text to ask if we were having class. When I told him we were, he wanted to know why so many teachers were cancelling. I wrote, "Because they are made of sugar candy."
Do you get it? Why is our society so weak now that we can't operate in normal weather. Rain is normal weather. Here at MDCC, we have roofs that keep the rain from falling on our heads. It is true that my classroom often floods. But the water doesn't get deep, only a half inch or so. I have always prided myself in the fact that I survived those tough times.
Yes, walking between buildings can be annoying. But that is why God created the rain jacket on the Fourth Day. Somebody stole my rain coat, but I have still continued to go to work today and every other day when it rained. A few times I got a little damp. I remain alive, however, a testament to good genes, a tough mind, and a manly constitution.
Maybe that is it. A manly constitution is frowned upon by many today. It's called masculinity and it ranks right up there with racism, arsonists, and random acts of murder. Can't they, we, see what is happening to our once great nation? Who is better when we are all a bunch of sissies?
Wake up, Amurica! You are being woosyfied. Put on your big girl panties and go to work, go to school, take care of your business. You can do it. Really you can. You can survive the rain, the cools springs, the traffic, CNN even. I have and I am just an ordinary guy.
