Monday I woke up and everything was going as normal. Then 10AM hit and snow started to fall from the sky. It then started to shoot from the sky in a blizzard that lasted ALL DAY! It didn't stop! I went to the library at like 1:30 and was trying to do microeconomics for three hours and it was still snowing! Then after dinner at like 6:45 it was still snowing! No cars could drive so as we were walking back up the hill after dinner, I made a joke that I was going to slip because i'm soo clumsy! I made it all the way to the Lofts parking lot and then totally fell! We didn't have school the next day because it was suppose to be our semester temple trip but they canceled the trip because the roads weren't safe, but we still didn't have classes. So we came to my room and watched The Croods and College Road Trip!
Tuesday it was nice to sleep in a little bit. It was still a service day so some people wen't and shoveled around BV. Somehow.. I didn't make it down there. I was too warm in my room! But it was perfectly sunny with the snow shinning beautifully as we walked down to lunch. We ate and then I left the Dinning Hall and was attacked by snowballs! Then I was tackled to the ground! There were a ton of us playing in the snow for almost two hours. At one point there was almost like 30 something of us. We were still all standing outside the Dinning Hall, so anytime any person came out we all attacked them with snow. It didn't mattered if it was a student or teacher. They got hit with snow! They usually joined in which was pretty funny! I did get tackled like five more times! I walked back up the hill (almost slipping again), and then got talking to Anna. She had kind of a rough week and had lost her phone. She thought it might have fallen out in the snow the day before. I offered to go on a walk on the path she thought she lost it. We ended up just needing a good vent. So I decided why don't we use the snow to help with that. We would make a snowball, name is a problem/struggle and then chuck it at a tree! It was very relaxing! I came and warmed up in my room and then changed to go back to dinner.
This was Fred the snow turtle!
Wednesday it was freezing. Just assume everyday is freezing! The high has only been about 15 with the low at -15! One of my favorite spots on campus is the hallway that connects the Ballroom with Chandler Hall. There are heaters in there that you can just sit by. Lauren and I basically took over the whole hallway. I was sitting right in front of the heater and we had all of our stuff sprawled around! It was quite funny. We were just enjoying our time when it started to snow! Again! For about an hour we had a solid blizzard! I worked my double shift, and when we left at about 10:50PM it was so cold outside that the bush had icicles! I have never seen that before!
Thursday it was 3 degrees when I left to go to class! My day went well. The bookstore was having a 25% off sale. Whenever I go to a college campus I always wonder "why does everyone always wear their school gear?" Now that i'm in college I understand! It is the softest greatest stuff ever! I was debating between two thing and ended up getting both! One was the jacket pictured below. It makes me want to go running... maybe it will keep inspiring me till I actually go running! Savannah and I both went in to buy stuff. We walked out and squealed because we were so excited with what we bought. We turned around and the missionaries were just staring at us. I said, "We are just really excited about what we bought". And Elder Numbers said, "We can tell!". It was really funny! We both were going to go to the library for a minute and we were walking over there on a path that was not shoveled and it was all ice. I said, "Why are we walking this...." I had slipped! Again! It hurt so bad! I was already really sore from the first time I fell and was playing in the snow and this just made it worse! What's funny is that I got someone to rub my back because it was hurting so bad like thirty minutes before, and then I went and fell again! I worked the late shift and it was like negative degrees and my car was still stuck with ice and snow, so I made John-John give us a ride after he was done at Mansfield Park because his car can actually drive in snow.
One of these things is not like the other...
I look like an athlete!
Friday Ewa and I were just wasting time, which we are really good at! We were having a little to much fun posing on the Mansfield Park set. I then sat in the hallway again for three hours. I think the heating turned off though because I progressively got colder and colder! I came back home and sat and talked to Anna for a while. We headed to dinner and I didn't have any other plans for the evening and so I decided I would go see Mansfield Park for a third time... ITS JUST SOO GOOD! So off I went and they had a few more tickets available luckily. So I sat down in my seat and just cried. Its such a relatable and sad yet amazing story! After I had a headache and so I went home and just sat and watched Netflix!
Saturday, I had plans to take a few people to Walmart but, we woke up to SNOW! I guess it had been falling since 7AM. And guess what? It didn't stop until about 8PM! We got over a foot! You add that to the 7 inches from Monday and we are in a winter wonderland! I guess a pipe exploded in front of the SAC and all the boys were woken up at 5AM to go move their cars. Oh the adventures! We walked down to lunch in the snow and I stayed there for about two hours again. And then I went to the Library and Girls and Guys Basketball games. It was their last games of the season and girls won but guys lost :(. One thing that the people I was sitting with do is they pull up the roster of the other team so they know their names. So they sit and yell funny things at them to try and distract them. I went to dinner and Ewa and I sat there with Savannah for a while. We headed back up to the Lofts and at this point the snow was coming down in big flakes, so we played in it for a while. We then went over to our HRA's room for hot chocolate floats! They were so yummy! We ended up sitting in their room for two hours! They are super great! We came to my room and stayed up till 1:30 watching Chocolate. Its such a great movie!
Sunday was crazy. I woke up to plan the rest of my lesson, and then got told that we were just doing Sacrament Meeting. Then I was walking down to lunch and was told that we were having all three hours. Well two of the 9AM wards got canceled so a lot of them came to our ward. I taught my first lesson with so many people in there from other wards! I made a lot of my friends come in though because I knew that they would answer all of my questions, which they did! I think it went pretty well because I got a whole bunch of compliments... I bet they were just being nice :). After church we had a mingle. They put out apples and pretzels with Nutella and peanut butter! It was very yummy! I got talking with Nicole who decided we needed to go finish building our friend Brigham's snowman which he had started earlier. So we went and changed and then built a snowman! We named it Tarzan and he was super cute! Dinner was really funny and then I came back and talked to my family! Ewa, Savannah and I all went down to Hymns on a Hill and then we came back and ended up sitting in the Lobby eating candy. Then Lanie joined us and then Maddie and we played guess the hymn, guess the scripture, pass the key card, and the fruit game! Oh the laughs!
Tarzan needed a friend.
We left this little guy on someone's car ;)
