what's this?

What's this? What's this?

There's color everywhere

What's this?

There's white things in the air

What's this?

I can't believe my eyes

I must be dreaming

What's this?

There's children throwing snowballs

There's frost on every window

Oh, I can't believe my eyes

And in my bones I feel the warmth

That's coming from inside

Today was somewhat of a nightmare with strong, biting winds, but it was also a blessing. Outside is white and windy--it has been all day. Drifts along the building are close to 3 feet & the total accumulation for the day was between 8 & 12 inches! For the first time in 20 years, Maranatha cancelled classes and chapel all day! The girls were allowed to wear pants *gasp*. The campus was full of students running between Old Main and the dining commons, girls and guys running, playing, & snowball fighting in the snow, & cars getting stuck in drifts and parking lots.

The only bad thing that happened was the cancellation of the high school basketball tournament, which means I won't get to see my parents until April. I cried when I found out that the bus full of friends and family was turning around and heading back to Kansas City--I miss everyone very much!

What am I doing to close such an exciting day? Going to a movie on campus, of course! The student body officers are showing Toy Story for the leisure of all of their snowed in classmates.

Days like these go by far to fast. It won't be too long before I'll be saying, "What's this? The day is over?" And then grudgingly go to bed knowing that there will be classes, homework, and work to tackle tomorrow.
