Today was wonderful. Amazing. Fantastic...and it's only 4:30! Last night the roommate and I were chillin out in our friend Scott 's room, listening to great music like John Mayer and Phil Collins with good friends and good conversation, and then Virginia and I watched Oklahoma because I'd never seen it. We were invited to go to the Kaufman's for pancakes and so we went. This was the beginning of a very good day.
We walked there this morning because we thought the roads might be too icy with all the snow. Breakfast was delicious - I had only 3 pancakes and did not get hungry for at least 6 hours. Magic. There were great people there too, and we sang some hymns, read some Martha Stewart Living, drank coffee and then walked back. The snow was perfect for packing so we threw a few snowballs. We decided to go to the soccer field, where the snow was undisturbed.
Someone had the idea to spell out SCOTS in giant letters, so we did. Then, we went up and viewed it from a distance. I made a pretty good "s." We left and walked around to the other side, where we found a soccer ball! Oh yes. We played snow soccer. It was so much fun - took me back to when my youth group used to play every Sunday and Wednesday night.
I fell a lot due to boots with little traction (and possibly my lack of coordination), but it was so worth it. Such a wonderful morning. Virginia and I walked back and put on warm, dry clothes. We didn't need lunch becasue we weren't hungry, so we just made a cup of coffee and did some reading for class. She read Tristram Shandy and I read Candide. I actually really enjoyed Candide. We have been huddled up in our room, so pleased with the day.
Now, hunger is beginning to set in. I will go to the Great Hall in my purple boots with the fur and be satisfied. Ah, God is good.
