A 10-year-old-boy wakes up on a saturday.
It is snowing heavily.
He: Sob, wasting a snow day on a saturday.
Is the meaning of "A" "1" , "2", or anything?
A: wasting a snow day on a saturday
1. We are wasting a snow day on a saturday.
2: We are unfortunate wasting a snow day on a saturday.
There is very little difference in meaning. What the lad means is that if the snow had fallen on a weekday he might not have had to go to school.
"unfortunate" is incorrect. You should use unfortunately.

I would like to know which is omitted in front of "wasting".
1. I'm wasting a snow day on a Saturday.
2. I hate wasting a snow day on a Saturday.
3. Anything else
