I suppose, since many of you are having snowy days this week, I will practice my politically correctness and rephrase my question.....
What's your favorite inclement-weather-day activity? This is assuming it is too terrible to be outside.
I love snuggling up with a salty snack and a hot mug of caramel-nut or mint coffee and watching a good movie.
This poll reminds me of snow days at UNL. When I lived in Abel, snow days were warmly embraced. During my 3rd-5th years, I lived in what was known as the "freshmen party" dorm. We had quite a few snow days in the winters of my 4th and 5th years. We made the best out of these days. I lived in this building with a number of friends. Most of us "upper-levels" moved there on purpose for the ministry possibilities and we intentionally lived on the same floor. I remember my 4th year was especially pressing academically. My friend and floor mate, Jeff, and I enrolled together in some of the Universities most difficult biology classes. With this being a major factor, Jeff and I spent nearly all of our free time studying together (we never would have made it without each other). On these snow days, he and I really couldn't afford the luxury of having a lazy day. So we would move our study materials into one of the lounges on the floor and we'd work while the others watched a movie. These days were the blessing we all hoped for. These were the days with enough study time that Jeff and I could take a break from memorizing the skeletal system of the skull or the nervous system and work on assignments for our other classes. Our group was really a little family, especially on these days. We'd work together, take study breaks and play games, go eat together, and get back to work together.
I am grateful for good friends with a good taste in coffee. We never had bad coffee when we studied together in Abel Hall. That's for sure. Even when the faces changed in my 5th year, quality coffee and tea remained important priorities. MMmmm......I miss good, fresh ground coffee.
So what do you do when you're stuck indoors?
