It pretty much snowed all day Tuesday, and the ice stuck around until early Friday morning. The result? A snow day Tuesday and Wednesday morning! I realize that most people are accustomed to snow days and wouldn't find them all that exciting. However, I am not most people. I grew up in California. I was homeschooled. Between those two facts, snow days didn't exist. UNTIL NOW. So I would say my first snow day was quite successful.
(Side note: A snow day in MS occurs when we get a light dusting of snow. It's not overly impressive, but still. Snow.)
Sara, Michael, myself, and Nicole. Just chilling. ;)
Also last week, I had the opportunity to perform with Belhaven's Dance Ministry team a few times! Since the season began last semester, I have not been out with them during their tours. But finally I was cast to go with them. The first time we danced for a children's home and the second time was at a home for handicapped adults. The latter was so, so amazing. ^_^ After the performance we talked with the residents and they had their own little dance off for us. After experiencing this, I wish that I had been asked to go with the company on their previous tours. The opportunity to minister to others encourages both parties involved.
One of the side effects of college is, naturally, staying up until the wee hours of the morn. This is a skill I have come to master quite well. Several of us have taken to hanging out in our student center until at least midnight for the past month. You'd think this would get tiring, but actually it's pretty awesome. Most of the time it's only four of us though. (The same four in the picture above too, coincidentally.) We call ourselves *ahem*.... The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. *dundunduuuuuuun* I, Zadie, am Death. Michael is War. Sara is Pestilence. And Nicole is Famine. However, we aren't all skeletons and depressing thoughts, but more of the refined and regal side of the Horsemen. Some crazy stuff tends to happen on these nights... scaring contests, late night tv binges, barricade building, and laughing, lots of laughing. Simply put, we have fun.
And now, I leave you with two random songs that I can't seem to stop singing lately.
The first is Somewhere in Neverland by All Time Low. Sara and Kristine introduced me to it, never turning back.
The second is Farther Along by Josh Garrels. I learned a dance to this song in my modern class last semester, and I do believe it's one of my absolute favorite songs. It's definitely a song that speaks truth.
Well then. Until the next time, my friends. ^_^
Farewell.
