Same here. For the first time in a long time I'm actually bored. My school has been shut down due to confirmed cases of swine flu in the Houston Metro. 
Which means my summer vacation is pushed back!
I would be angry too!
Yeah, same here. I would think though, that since this is an unforseen event, that it would be forgiven. I know that here in Haslett, the school day was extended (mainly to account for the later start in the year, as it is now state law that all schools in the state not on contract start the day after Labor Day). This extension also adds a bonus in that if something happens during the year, we have some time to account for it.
Well today is a rocky start. My little sister got sent home from school because she was showing flu-like symptoms. I think her teacher was pretty much overreacting because she woke up with a cough and runny nose. It was nothing severe really. And also she came out negative yesterday when we crossed the border from Mexico last night. 
Also games this week for baseball have been cancelled as well. I hate you, Swine Flu....and pigs too. 
Yeah, the Swine Flu story is annoying me too, and I feel for you there. I would be furious with it too if I were in your shoes. Also, I have never been one for pigs either. I think bacon is one of the most disgusting foods out there, and I hardly ever eat ham. I pride myself that I am in Michigan, where nothing that is a major threat to large masses of people exists. Michigan is well away from Mexico. However, I can't capitalize on that forever. The Swine Flu is bound to come through the "metropolitan" areas of Flint, Grand Rapids, Detroit, and Lansing as well. I think that at some point some schools in the Lansing area could in fact close.
