443 February: Superbowl and [more] Snow

Updates from the first week of February in 443:

• More snow. Apparently global warming is so conniving that it managed to switch Arctic and Virginian weather patterns for this winter. Liz led a valiant attempt to clear the driveway that ended with lots of cursing at a crappy shovel and nursing sore limbs over Mary-Kate and Ashley's final movie, "The Challenge"
• Emily, Kimmy and Liz finished rush finally and have returned to semi-normal lives (like hosting 130 girls for a potluck in 443)
• Cap and Gown week demanded that we all begin to face reality. Most of us took our garment bag of reality and put it in our closets immediately. SE also rocked C&G week in a different way, raking in the dough for our class with visions of a Newcomb class plaque dancing in her head. (Emily will probably graffiti SE's name next to said plaque when it is put in. Don't tell Casteen.)
• Sarah has a cold. Bad news bears. She discovered some delightful sparkling water in the process though!
• Emily has a fresh new crop of first years to corrupt (one of her final semester goals) between her First Year Seminar facilitation group and her new srat little-little. She has already begun sharing with them the glories and stories of 443 and beyond.
• This week was laundry week. Just in case anyone wanted to know the mundane details of our lives as well. (Although we consider ourselves lucky in comparison to a man in Charlottesville who lost his life in a washing machine accident this week)
• 443 paused for an epic House dinner on Friday night, provided by Liz and her miraculous ziti. Wine and childhood stories were in abundance (ie. Liz and her sister used to play "who-can-keep-their-face-in-the-snow-the-longest" and Kimmy's family has a home video of her sister chasing her with a booger)
• Liz hosted a Superbowl Party (although still devastated by the absence of the Patriots at the event), leaving the house with an excess of chips for the rest of time. SWEET.
• SE took Liz sledding on the corner on a pool raft - aka. the best moment of Liz's semester thus far.

peace, love, and 2010.
