Nick and the Spiders Endure a Snowy Bonanza

Today was nuts! Snow from every angle you could imagine. God’s dandruff engulfed the campus in a white and frigid frenzy! I mean, hearing that were going to get snow on the news is nothing like getting a taste of the frosty justice in person. From my warm bed I crawled at roughly 12:50 to get to my 1PM Orientation Adviser group interview, slap on a sweatshirt and some jeans, and then see this:

What an amazing campus! I never thought I’d see it in this moderately frigid condition! I felt the yearning to monopolize on this wintry sweetness and snag me a tray to go sledding. All the while, I went around filming my day and questioned the local students, let’s have a look:

As soon as it got far to cold to be sliding around, I retired to the vestibule to hear that we got 14 inches of snow and counting!! Warm in my room, I found my self lost in how awesome the snow was, while staring at that free lamppost head I mentioned last post (have a look!) and I realized this lamppost could be so much more. It now bears a troublesome life of ineffective wiring and a pasty sage coat of armor, a pair of things I became determined to change. Luckily, my man Brad agreed. He came into my room with paints and brushes alike, rearing to go. With a wet brush in one hand and a dream in the other, we discovered that anything is possible:

Warm Regards,

Post Scriptum. I’ve been video heavy in recent posts… Random I know, but I just got my Windows Movie Maker working and I’ve been inspired to film my entire life! L8uh future spiders! Hopefully I’ll be selected to become an OA and we can hangout next fall!
