Snow and Samford

So, the last two days have been insane. We've had step sing, a Valentine's dance, lots of snow, and more step sing. I'm extremely exhausted, and want to do nothing more than crawl back into bed. But life goes on even when you're pooped.

Friday, while all the other schools have prior notice that classes are cancelled, we at Samford do not. And by 11:15 there was a pretty solid layer on the ground. So plans were made, schemes devised, and warm clothes put on. Well, except for Gordon and me. We both put on board shorts and baseball socks(i had two pairs of socks on underneath those :D). And then we went snowboarding. Yes, I said we went snowboarding in Birmingham, Alabama. Other people at the same hill had various "items" to slide down the hill on: laundry baskets, a matress, the big plastic tupperware containers, the lids for those containers, cardboard, a trashbag turned to jacket, and their own feet. The containers and the laundry baskes didn't work too well because as soon as you turned the slightest bit around, they flipped over. Which was hilarious for us watching, but not as much fun for them. And let the record show that Gordon was extremely gracious with his snowboard and allowed many people to try it out. Nathan also got a turn, and he faceplanted at the end of his run. He's a "good man."

I took many pictures in the snow, I think I managed to get people to take a few of me in it as well. It was a beautiful day and the snow on the trees was a great sight to behold. The beauty of it gave glory to God. It was a beautiful day from our Creator. I really enjoed walking around campus and photographing the snow and trees and people just having a hay day.

We had a guys night, and went out to Buffalo Wild Wings, and then my father stayed with me in MY DORM. Haha it was a serious reversal of roles. But we got to talk for a little while, look at pics we had both taken and he got to sleep on the futon in my dorm. Haha. It was great to see him for the time I did, since he is very busy in Mount Juliet right now with work.

Saturday was a day full to the brim with Step Sing. We practiced for about 5 hours and had our second tech rehearsal. We really worked hard and stepped up our game, and we're getting so close to being completely prepared. There also was a Valentine's Day Dance on Saturday so we all went as a group and had a great time waltzing, doing swing dances, and attempting to improv. We had a few circle dances too, which were hilarous as we took our turns embarrassing ourselves in the center of the circle. Afterwards, we attempted to take a group of twenty bowling, and upon the realization that it would never work, we decided to go terrorize the Waffle House. We were loud, the food was okay, and the laughs were great; essentially, it was a group of college kids at Waffle House at 12:00 a.m. It's been a great two days, both felt like Saturdays, but now I'm exhausted from what feels like an extremely long weekend, so I'm going to grab a nap. Hasta luego.
