Grab the Gloves and Hit the Hills

After all of the snowfall that dumped upon Edinboro creating a vast land of hills, drifts, and sinking snow holes, I was bent on getting my hands into the fluffy snow during a play date. Yesterday K, M, J, B, J (but no one invited him…) and Roomie (picture taker) braved the frozen tundra with our hats and sleds to get a good hour and a half of snow play. We paved the way for paths towards the huge snow piles that launched you into the air and made a course for all of us to follow to climb up the hill and down it.

It was truly a great time. It was sheer fun without anyone saying “Eww, my hair is wet” or “This is dumb, let’s do back inside”. Each one of us helped each other up the mountain when we kept sinking into the still soft snow as a team or gang of kids that have gone through this snow playing routine for years. By the end of the playing, the boys, wisely wearing blue jeans against my mother-like suggested that sweatpants are better since they don’t pack with snow, were soaked and our faces and limbs were frozen and sore from all the slipping and sliding, especially the drop at the end of the one slope we ventured down. Needless to say, I am feeling the repercussion of yesterday this morning but I am young, I will survive, I think.

I don’t know why I haven’t seen many other college students out playing in this snow like us. Sure, I see a few snow battles on the way to class, but as far as getting decked out with mittens and scarves, it’s a rarity. Maybe it’s because everyone is “grown up” now, or they’re just too lazy to come out of their rooms. If you would like to see any of the captured hilarity, just go to the sidebar and find my link titled “Lindsay K.’s Photos” and click “Edinboro”. Scroll down and you’re bound to see something goofy.

In other news….MID-TERM WEEK IS OVER! Thank goodness, really, thank goodness. It was a week of 2 projects due and 2 mid-term tests. Peace at last. I am finally at the end of packing up the goods for the trek home and now finishing up some busy work in between classes so I can leave here care free and clicking my heels. Unfortunately, my sleep wasn’t as care free or quiet last night for the rope light that goes around the roof of our dorm room kept falling on my face as I slept. I cant understand why my Roomie’s side of the room is perfectly fine and the 3 different kinds of tape holding it up aren’t faltering like mine that insist on falling at a slow and annoying, crinkling pace. It looks like I’ll have to purchase some more heavy duty duct tape and metal tape over break. Ug.

This morning I have to call good old Shop ‘N Save to get my schedule for Spring break week. That’s right folks, no Bahamas or “Girls Gone Wild in Cancun” for me- it’s “Cashier Gone Bored At Work”. I had the strangest dream about Shop ‘N Save (this would be the umpteenth time I’ve dreamed about the place) where I hated to go back for some reason and my mother drove me to work and had to yell out the window at a former bagger because he was standing in the McDonald’s Drive through chatting to friends. My dear readers, even in conscious hours I am still debating if it really happened or not, haha. But since I’m tight on the old green stuff, it doesn’t hurt to make myself productive and earn some euro over break that I can give, I mean use here at Edinboro. Hopefully the job that I applied for at the beginning of the semester will open up and accept me next semester. Let’s all hope that.

I leave for break at 10:30. I’m ready for some time with my dogs, my friends, my church, my family, and my Wuvor. I’ll keep you posted on the madness that occurs! Have a safe weekend, toodles!
