Lucky. But at least you had the bus! I had to walk the whole way!
oh, and slipping on black ice may be fun in a sled,
but when your backpack is really heavy and you slip,
and fall on your face,
and then try to get up and slip again,
and a little kid across the street is looking at you like
your some kind of complete nerd, then its not so fun. : (

Well, I still tend to use both straps on my backpack,
but it doesn't do a heck of a lot of good.
My dad is always asking me if I have books or bricks in my backpack.
