White Precipitation
Okay, so last semester it "snowed" which resulted in this:
See it? It's kind of on the edge and fallen between the petals. Can you make it out?
On February 11, I woke up to the sound of rain once again. I was not happy, but bundled up and went on through my day. It was a day of great rejoicing despite the rain; it was Anna's birthday, photo call was behind me, and so was my first mythology test. It was also the first time that I was able to sit down and eat a meal with someone else. For dinner, I ended up at McAlister's with a friend and as we sat in the restaurant, we noticed the rain getting whiter and heavier until we could confidently say that it snowed. The result was something more like this:
This picture was taken early in the snow, but is already more impressive than what we had experienced before. By the time we had finished the show and I was headed out for Anna's birthday, my car had a healthy covering of snow on it. I brushed off the back window and couldn't resist what I had in my hands. I made this snowman who stayed with me all the way from the theatre to Applebee's:
About two weeks later we had our third and most legitimate snow. Class was canceled starting two hours after I was done for the day, but we made it feel like a holiday anyway. The result of this last snow was something like this:
I love the Narnia feel of this lampost and how it shows the very strong directionality of the snow. I was the first to walk across this field, the snow deep enough to sink my feet into. An hour or so after I walked by here, this field was flooded with people and an army of dirty snowmen were raised from the ground. The theatre freshmen (plus Andrew S.) posted themselves outside the building to pelt anyone who passed with snowballs. I might have been more surprised when they got me if they hadn't yelled, "Ready? Go!" right before they hit me. We convinced Mike to join us in the fight, but the counterattack didn't go as well as planned. Oh well. Next time though, we need to inform them that the cameraman is immune:

Living Under a Rock
You may have noticed my long absence from this blog, but there is a very easy explination -- I've been living under a rock.
I just finished up my last mainstage at Baylor, The Seagull. This turned out to be one of the most difficult shows I've done, taking away all of my time and energy, and yet it was invaluable and enjoyable. Happily, family from two different cities were able to come and see it. During the run of the show I had my birthday, immediately preceded by one of my good friend's birthday. We ended up at Applebee's two nights in a row, but with great company and free ice cream. It was a good weekend of celebration with the two birthdays and the show.
The Seagull marked the last of my mainstages at Baylor. My time has been opened up greatly and I've been recovering and playing as much as possible. Softball season started the week after the show ended. Our girls have been doing pretty well, but unfortunately haven't been challenged too much yet. I've been playing tennis with a friend at least once a week, although we're hoping to make it happen more often. We're trying out new restaurants and frequenting the dollar theatre (half price tuesdays!), doing our best to fill the time without a mainstage. So far we've met with pretty good success, possibly because there have been at least eight birthdays to consider, but possibly because we're all so relieved to be out from under the rock.
Happy Birthday!
Happy (belated) birthday, Julie! I promise I didn't forget! Hope it was beautiful.
By the way... the picture is one I found for Hannah's Prayer, since I know that you're really involved with them and I think it is a good representation of your heart. Love you!
