NEWS FLASH: SNOW DAY!

Yes, yes. I really didn’t think they had snow days in college, but we did! According to Joan, the Queen of Kaufman, it is only the second time in twenty years. Other than being a snow day it was just a great day overall. The first order of business on a day off is sleep, always, no questions asked. So after a extended nap, a stroll down to the ol’ dining hall became a gourmet experience. They were serving one of my favorite meals, Country Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy.

Normally, I would have gone back upstairs after lunch and read Socrates or Plato for my History of Ideas class in the afternoon, but alas, SNOW DAY! Instead we played an exhilarating game of Mario Party. I would like to brag about how awesome I am, but Steve won. He has a secret, one that I must know.

To continue our Snow Day Celebrations, we had a Snow Day Dinner at Denny’s. Even at 6 at night, a Denny’s breakfast has the ability to be the most appetizing thing in the world. And sometimes you just have to get away from cafeteria food. Even though most days the food on campus is good, a ‘real meal’ is sometimes needed. To top it off, an impromptu Dance Party occurred on the drive back to campus.

At this point, even I would have called it a good day, but it wasn’t over! My friend Melony and I, decided to document the snow day by walking around campus. Apparently, Residence Life sponsored a Snow Man Building contest. We found some very interesting ones. After our snowman hunt, we wanted to have a snow day standard, A SNOWBALL FIGHT! We gathered forces and fought to the bitter (and cold) end. As with any war, there were casualties: Erika got a nosebleed, Steve’s hat was lost, and my pride was bruised.

After all wounds were healed and hands were warmed, the ‘crew’ settled in for a movie, but not me. I went home this weekend for the first time since Christmas Break (which ended January 1^st for us). I have learned to appreciate weekends home because of: Free Laundry (sometimes done by wonderful moms), Free Groceries, Food (Both Free and Good). It is also really nice to just relax sometimes. It can be hard to just ‘chill’ sometimes at school. There seems like there is always something to do. That is why I love living being able to get home in 35 minutes with good traffic.

Things have been pretty eventful. I have many things to blog about, so maybe I’ll do another one later this week. Until then you should check out one of my favorite bands right now, All Time Low. They are on iTunes too!

And Thank You to Melony for the pictures!
