snow and the city

Almost halfway through the week. At the end of this week I am going home and also making a visit to Messiah! I can't wait to see some friends and have a sleepover! :)

Let's see this weekend...REWIND.
On Friday it was Erin's birthday so a bunch of us went to Dave and Buster's to eat and play arcade games! It's like the Coliseum, if you've ever been there! That was very fun. We took the subway there and then after that it was still like a ten minute walk and it was just starting to snow. You can imagine when we came out a few hours later that there were a few inches of snow on the ground. What did we do? Had a snowball fight of course! Jon even had one with a business man in a suit. The man commented on how it was perfect snowball snow! Some excitement occured at a stop on the subway on the way back when about 15 teenagers jumped the gates and got on the subway. The lady in the booth turned the alarm on and it was chaos. The boys came right onto our car and were walking around yelling away. Luckily, we got off at the next stop.

Saturday morning we woke up to lots of snow! Somewhere in Philly they got 28 inches! I believe we only got about 18 where we live. I've never seen such a little amount of traffic on Broad Street.
This is a view from the roof! Which is pretty sweet I may add! Some of the boys even built a snowman on the roof! After this a bunch of the students went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art to go sledding. The steps of the museum is the place to be when it snows. That's where everyone goes to sled! The Rocky steps. I did not go however, they said it was a blast! If only I had brought some snow clothes. Bummer. That night a few of us just watched a movie. There wasn't really anywhere to go!

Sunday, we were going to go to church around the corner but it was canceled because of snow! So we didn't go, and I went back to sleep :) That afternoon we took a trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This time to go in it instead of just sledding at it. It was a beautiful day even though it was cold.

You can see everyone walking into the museum here!

View from the steps!

That's my city! It's beautiful.

After the art museum we went back to MCPC for a Super Bowl party sponsered by PSAB with pizza and wings and desserts made by Debi! The food was great and we loved the commercials. It was a very fun time!
In other news, our room started leaking that day. Maintenance came on Monday and attempted to fix it. It is apparently snow that is leaking in from the side of the building. They replaced one of the tiles but they other two are still wet, but at least there is no annoying water dripping into buckets anymore!

Classes yesterday and today went well. Not much to say there. except...

SNOW DAY TOMORROW! How exciting! Not sure what we will do yet, prbably just hang and do homework. seee yaaa
