Super Massive Black Snow Storm

Today was a momentous day, a day to be remembered... Not only was it the first snow day of the year for Malone, but it was the whole freshman class's first COLLEGE SNOW DAY! Honestly, my mind has been significantly blown today. Here's how it was discovered that classes were canceled (you might want to get a snack before I start because it's a tale of love, lust, treachery, deceit, faith, and hot chocolate):

I woke up at 7:45 this morning to the sounds of snow-blowers, contrary to the sound of people in out in the hallway like usual. My first thought was "SNOW DAY!" but I decided not to jump the gun and get my hopes up. I reached for my laptop and logged on. As I was directing my Mozilla to Malone's homepage I couldn't help but say to myself, "You are just setting yourself up for disappointment. Put the computer away and go take your dang shower." Before I had the chance to shut my laptop the website showed up and had the glorious red notice running across the top: "ALL DAY CLASSES HAVE BEEN CANCELED." Apparently my beautiful roommate heard me typing on my keyboard and knew exactly what I was doing so she waited in silence to hear the verdict... "oh. My. GOSH!" was all I could manage to say. She started freaking out and I was thrusting my computer up at her face so she could read the banner for herself when we both let out a victorious cry. We hopped out of bed and unplugged my Lappy 486 and headed for Amanda and Kelly's room at the polar opposite end of our hall. Before we got there, we did a few triumphant laps of the hallway and showed our neighbor Bethany the notice.

When we finally got to Amanda and Kelly's, Amanda was already sitting up and upon our walking in said, "I already know but Kelly doesn't." Ricki and I looked down to see Kelly still in a deep slumber... haha, not for much longer. We woke her up (very much to her immediate chagrin) and when she saw the glorious red strip across the top of my computer's screen her eyes instantly became saucers. She started flipping out right along with us. Ricki and I then took our merry stroll back down the stretch of hall back to our room to slip back into blissful snow day sleep. About 2 hours later I wake up to Amanda standing in our room eating a bowl of cereal and watching us sleep. What a freakin' creepster. It's okay though because I love her so much! =]

Aaron Zorn (http://zornonthecob.blogspot.com) called me at like noonish and wanted to go to lunch and then go sledding on the massive hill that's behind the cafeteria... we were SO game for that. Everyone got showered and ready for lunch where we met our friend Jared's little brother, Isaac; he seemed pretty BA, but I might be biased because he just had to put up with our shenanigans to earn that status... which he did. Then when we went to go sledding, it was FREEZING as heck with the wind whipping around at the top of the hill. I was done after going down one time... call me pansy, I don't care. Then I wen with Aaron Zorn to get some hot chocolate and have a lil chat which was cool because we never really get to just talk. Plus the hot chocolate was scrumptious. =] We all kind of sat around in Myers loung for awhile and then headed to dinner where nothing terribly exciting happened. After dinner I headed over to Zorn's room to watch Pulp Fiction and hang out... It was really fun.

All in all, I'd say today was a great day and I could most definitely get used to college snow days.

Today's favorite is going to be "Challengers" by The New Pornographers. This band is fronted by the extrodinarily talented Neko Case. Love this song and the video is beautiful too... weird, but really pretty. Enjoy!
