Texas schools + cold weather = stupidity

So, yesterday we had cold rain, and it was pretty cold all day, but the weather didn't start getting icky until night time. So understandably the public schools, high schools and such, were still open for regular hours. They canceled most after school stuff or maybe let out an half an hour to 45 mins early to help get people home before dark. So I figured if the high schools were open, the community college would be open so I could return the book from the class I dropped. I got up there and the were deserted, and all the doors were locked. School was canceled for the day, to my annoyance but I figured it was just TCC and my luck that brought it due to my not checking for it on the internet. Then I hear from a couple of my friends the UNT, the University in Denton, and my University UTA are also shut down. Of course I think this is really weird, because to me the schools with smaller or younger kids should shut down before university's during bad weather well before the University's should. That is how works in my logic because its more important to not have a crash getting a 6 year old to school because the government own school decided to not shut down vs college students deciding to brave the weather to get to class when they don't know the first thing about driving in iffy weather.
So because of the weather last night the roads froze over, my car is frozen and I have to go to school because all of my classes are after noon. The school districts are closed, and Azzies kindermusic teacher canceled classes because she cancels for weather if the school districts do. Yet, the University are opening at Noon. (I go to school 1pm-8:20pm MW) *sigh* I'm trying to convince my dad or David to take me and pick me up from school today. I can drive on icy roads well if I am driving during the day but because of my eyesight and some not so well lit roads on my way home tonight I'm kind of Iffy about driving home from school ... not getting to school. I'm hoping they wize up and cancel classes after lets say 5pm so I don't have to go to my last two classes of the day but that goes against my luck. Particularity when one of those classes is Social Stats, but I'm thinking of dropping that class anyway.
It doesn't help dad gets to stay home from work today.
The weather and the schools being weird isn't helping my stress. I've been so over loaded most everyone has told be to go ahead and drop a class. Its taking me to long to do my homework, and there fore taking away to much time away from Azzie, and stressing me out which isn't good for her. Its most likely going to be my stats class because I'm so bad at math ... even though this is my teachers last semester of teaching this class and she is very student friendly ... and I have two friends in that class that I could study with ... mom wants me to drop the anthropology class even though most of that homework is reading which I can do during Azzies naps, and David is more willing to watch Azzie so I can write the two page at home essay quizzes, rather than coming home after work everyday to help me with math homework.
First I have to find out what the rules are with financal aid and the scholarships I recived before I can even drop. Because if my mom and I have to come up with the money for the class right away after I drop, it maybe out of the question. Mostly because mom has homeowners tax hitting her right now, making her broke.

Well, I have to figure out lunch.
