“Should I stay, or should I go? Ugh. If it weren’t for today’s test, I would probably stay home. But that big test!”
Wrapped in warm blankets, she sat on her couch worrying about the test while watching the morning news, her eyes glued to the scrolling list of closings.
“How can it still be in the B’s? Come on T’s…I need to know about Tarrant County College!”
She was anxious to see if campus was closed. After all, her car was covered in ice, as was the street in front of her apartment, and all the traffic accidents on the news confirmed she would have to leave plenty of extra time to get to class.
“Should I stay, or should I go? Ugh! Why on a test day?”
Finally, it seemed all the closings had been listed, but TCC wasn’t mentioned. She sighed. She knew she needed to go to class to take the test if TCC was going to be open.
“I don’t want to deal with the absence, a zero on the test and my professor later on. But I’m so nervous about driving.”
She bundled up, scraped the ice off her car and carefully made her way to campus.
“Why are the parking lots empty? Why are the windows dark? Arg! After all that, TCC is closed! How can that be? It wasn’t listed on the news!?”
Don’t let this be you! Be sure to check the official TCC sources of campus closures before you head out in inclement weather this winter.
