Snow Day



Yesterday it started snowing, and then kept up with a steady stream of flakes of varying intensities most of the night. The ground and cars are still covered in a layer of white. We just walked to Starbucks...and almost died. What looked like slush was actually ice. Adventures, adventures. We had someone come and rescue us. No deaths actually took place.

We had the 600 Christmas party last night, followed by an amazing snowball fight out on the Green. I cannot remember ever having that much fun in the snow! It was cold, and my feet were freezing, and I had snow in my pants, down the back and front of my shirt, in my mouth and eyeballs (it's okay....it was mutual, hehe). There were groups of people all over the Green, throwing snowballs, chasing each other, even a few with makeshift sleds. It was so pretty, with the soft snowfall and silver laughter. Annie and I drove to Taco Bell afterwards, getting back to campus right as the snow starting falling really hard. We sat in her car, heater blasting, watching the snow fall and cover the tree branches through the car windows.
So now I am sitting in my room, listening to Christmas music, Josh Groban style, and looking at the white ground outside my window. I hope it snows more later, because snow on the ground is nice, but falling snow is even better!
