Learning Experience 4: Snow

Living in Texas, I really don't have much experience with cold weather. It is somewhat of an anomaly to me. Can someone please tell me what all this frozen white powder is? Where does it come from? Why is it here? These are questions that may never be answered. When I woke up and stepped out on my balcony this morning I was thoroughly confused. What was this strange substance all around me and where did it come from? To try and answer some of these questions I decided to conduct a few experiments. First, I quickly realized that the surface of the ground in some areas was extremely slippery. My boots provided me with little to no traction and I fell multiple times.  As the hours passed by, I became nervous about the possibility that whatever this stuff was might never go away. After consulting with a few friends, we decided it was time that we got to the bottom of this mystery. I first called my mom in Dallas to see if she knew anything. She told me that the white powder is something called ‘snow’. She said that she didn’t know exactly where it comes from or why but that it had something to do with Christmas and the North Pole.

I wondered… what was the correlation between Christmas, Fort Worth, finals week, and the North Pole?  Why did school get cancelled and all of this ‘snow’ suddenly appear? Then it hit me.  Why is it that right before Christmas time, TCU’s campus mysteriously closes even in the wake of finals week? Is it possible that maybe Chancellor Boschini is no Chancellor at all — Maybe, just maybe, Chancellor Boschini is in fact Saint Nicholas himself. It would explain the faculty’s disappearance. It would explain why this strange and mysterious substance from the North Pole has suddenly appeared in Fort Worth.  I really think that I might be on to one of the greatest discoveries of all time. I definitely learned a lot today about the world and TCU. You keep doing your thing Chancellor, or should I say… Santa?

Let me know what y’all think of this or if there could be any other possible explanations to these strange happenings in Fort Worth. I NEED ANSWERS!!!
