Snow Bird

My father made it at morning. Today is snowy day. I felt happy. I hate cold, but I like snow. I wanted snowball fight. I thought I can’t go to school by bicycle, so I asked my father. He said “It is danger.” He didn’t take me to university by car, and he makes snow bird, so I went to school by bicycle. It was exciting. Snow bomb fell, and hit me. My glasses fell. Ha. Ha. I laughed. It was fine. Arrive at university, I made snow ball. I wanted to through my circle manager, but I didn’t. Maybe I have stress. I really wanted to go alumni association!!! My friends said “Were you enjoying alumni association??” Many friends asked it. I felt tired. I cried again. My friends got angry too and comfort me. After that, I went to part time job, and seniors asked me same thing. I explained again.
