Snowed in at SU: Day 1 February 5, 2010
Posted by Marina in : Uncategorized, Winter 2009-2010 , trackbackAfter hearing about our school closing for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday on Thursday evening, we were all totally stoked for the snow that was on its way.
Waking up this morning was unsettling to those of us who were previously excited for this monster. Many services around campus such as the library and Pandini’s are now shut down for the weekend. And if you can recall, I was supposed to be at a conference this weekend for Reslife called No Frills. But because of the snow we pulled out to ensure the safety of all of us going on the trip.
Regardless, though, today was our very first day being snowed in at SU. So what do you do when you are snowed in at college and 20+ inches are headed your way? You prepare, and you play.
To begin the day, Tylor and I went to Giant to get some goodies to last us for the weekend. Apparently we weren’t the only ones who got the memo because the grocery store was packed! We ended up getting everything we could to last us for the snow. Check out our freezer!
It is jammed packed! But hey, what else are we supposed to do for food? Plus, we are college students!
After food shopping we came back, relaxed, watched a movie until all of that got boring. The snow started to pick-up by midday and we didn’t even go to Rockland for dinner. Instead, the brave Dominoe’s delivery guys brought us our dinner! But waiting for the food I did my February door decs, which are totally cute!! If you want to read the blog about me beginning my February bulletin board, click here: http://wildstang.stevensonuniversity.org/. But for now, here is the stack of door decs I completed… that took me over two hours!
Yeah, I work hard, even on snow days! But enough was enough and I decided that we needed to do something a little more fun. So Tylor and I sat down and played Electronic LIFE. Much more complicated than regular LIFE, by far. For two hours we played and then slowly more and more people joined until we had 8 people in my room laughing and talking and of course, playing the game of life. For those of you who are interested in owning LIFE, here is what it looks like!
It was so much fun playing with everyone! We were one person away from breaking fire code… woops! But the night wasn’t over. We moved into Chelsea’s, my suitmate’s, room to play the Wii! This is the best game system in the world to have on a snowed in eve. So as a group we piled into her room and played the Wii Fit. Our fave game? The Hoola hoop. It is awesome! Here is a pic of our friend playing the hoola hoop game!
After another hour of laughing and playing, I was all gamed out and ready for bed. But not before checking out just how much snow we had accumulated in the 12 hours that it had been snowing. Here is a picture I took just before bed of students walking through the snow.
Maybe tomorrow after it’s done blizzarding I’ll get to go out and play in the snow!!
