This is so interesting to a Cali born and raised girl like me. We only had one day off school due to weather (el nino rain!), and I loved it. I didn't like school itself but the structure and friendships I gained made it all worth the boring days. I wasn't a super student like you, but I get what you're saying. I am a rudderless ship without structure and routine.

It's very hard to picture a rain day! That must have been some rain. Whenever someone says, "kids need structure," I laugh, and laugh, and laugh. YES THEY DO!

Trees went down and shut down roads! El Nino of 98 was no joke.

There's really something freeing about figuring out that root cause, right?

It's weird how long it can take, though better late than never.
