Snow Day

This week we had snow. And I mean snow. Arkansas is not used to this kind of weather and they've been getting it a lot this year. We had a two hour delay on Monday and then they shut school down in the middle of classes around 1.30. I think the idea behind shutting everything down was so that people would go inside and be safe. Well, the teachers probably went home to avoid the ice and snow on the roads. All of us students on the other hand bundled up and went outside. There were more people than I have ever seen on the front lawn. Apparently someone started the idea of a snowball fight at 4.30 and it was all on from there; you know those ideas that get passed from person to person in mass texts? Well this was one of them. Pretty much everyone knew in the hour that school was canceled. People built massive forts and there were Braveheart moments where I'd say at least thirty people would charge the others at one end of the lawn. I deemed the word of the day to be Epic.

School was closed completely on Tuesday which was fun. We bummed around, did homework and such. We went to Chili Tuesday at the Honors College - pay $2 for chili and drinks and such, they have it every Tuesday and didn't cancel it despite the snow. Jen had stayed the night here (she practically lives here, for example, this past week I think she's probably stayed 6 of the 7 nights in our apt instead of hers). Emily was in Guatemala this week with the Nursing Department so she missed out on the snow which was sad. But anyway, that was our snow adventure.

Jen, Marcos, and I played around and took pictures
in the snow. We did our best to avoid the
snowball throw-ers, but we did get hit by a few
