Let There Be Snow!

It snowed again on Wednesday! It was so beautiful! We had morning classes, and then got the news that afternoon classes were canceled. Most people were super excited. But for people like me, who's classes ended at noon, it was just another day (with a bonus of snow!). I think that snow is just an excuse for college students to act like little children again. There were some massive snowball wars that went on, tons of sledding, and even a game or two of Red Rover. Campus was so alive despite the calming feeling that snow often brings. I was a bit snowed-out from our snow rendezvous Friday, so I stayed in and chatted with Becca some and went running. And then I started my Spanish homework for the next day and finished two or three hours later to get the text message that Thursday's classes are canceled too! At least I learned something, I guess. :) So in a bit, due to the no classes, we are going to have snowed in breakfast and a movie! Maybe there will be pictures to come. :)

These are pictures from Wednesday's snow, taken from my phone... They were really just to get a taste of how much snow can blow in between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Tons! :)

This is the bridge, looking back towards campus from my dorm.

There was so much snow that the grass and sidewalks were the same thing. They couldn't be distinguished between.

Our dorms :)

So Much Snow!!

This picture is for Mom and her college friends. Susan Lucci, better known as Erica, from All My Children was on Opra. Mom used to watch it with all her friends while she was in college, and then I used to watch it when I was little with Mom at home. So here's a tribute to Mom and her wonderful friends. We watched the special just for y'all :)

Finally, pictures from Friday's snow rendezvous!

This is the best hill on campus! (despite having to maneuver through the bushes!)

We walked up to the really good hill and there was this little snow man just chilling there. I barley missed him, but then it turned into a game to see who could knock him over :) I think Angela won!
