Decisions to decisions are made and not fought

Hello! I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I was just busy enjoying my Winter Break...it was so relaxing.
But now my peace has been shattered...school started today.

The weather has been so cold with this weird Florida cold snap and since our school was built in the 70's (an architectural dark age) we have no furnace or any kind of heating system.
So, because of this, our teachers have temporary relaxed the dress code and we were allowed to wear hats inside the building (yay)!
It was so funny walking down the hallways and seeing everyone wearing heavy coats, gloves, beanies, and scarves inside the building (hey cut us a break, to us Floridians 20-30 degrees weather is like Titanic cold).

But I got a lot of compliments on my hat throughout the day! I got it at a thrift store and then stuck the black flower on myself.
However, I got a few jabs from some teachers.
One said to me, "That looks like an old lady hat." To which a student burst out, "It's vintage-looking!"
Ha. Power to the recessionistas!
Another teacher said, "Who are you, Thoroughly Modern Millie?"
Which I took as a compliment.
So, there!

Other than that not much happened today.
Oh wait, my sister and I saw a transformer blow up on the way to school.
That was pretty exciting.
It was flashing blue and stuff.

Oh, and also, we saw kittens during lunch!
While we were eating, Dante suddenly stopped and pointed out the window with his mouth hanging open (not a pretty sight, it was macaroni day).
"KITTENS!"

Suddenly, the lunchroom was in an uproar. Girls were "awww"-ing, people were craning their necks, teachers were standing up.
The two little kittens were so cute! They were so small and frolicked outside the windows.
I hope they're OK. It's going to be another cold night tonight.
