On Tuesday night, around 8:09 PM, the unthinkable happened. Clarion University, after getting pummeled by snow and ice all day (and for most of the next), cancelled classes. This may not seem like a big deal, but it really was. This was the first time since around 1993 that classes for an entire day were cancelled. My first snow day in over two years! So, what did I do to celebrate? Well, I did what every self-respecting college student would do. I slept until noon! The problem with the snow was that it was extremely powderly (my friend described it as "white sand", which meant snowballs, snowmen, etc. were not really options. Regardless, a good time was had by all (except all the kids that were planning on doing something special for Valentine's Day...the roads were horrible most all day).
Today, it was back to business. Not too much exciting on the class front. Just lots and lots of reading, as well as phonetics. Tonight was something special, though. The Vagina Monologues! If you get a chance to make it tomorrow, the last night it will be running, you won't regret it! All of the cast did a very good job this year, and it was simply hillarious.
Next Tuesday, there is a special presentation in Hart Chapel by one of my favorite professors, Dr. Todd. I had him last year for a class and I have also attended several of his other events, including the Clarion ghost tour. Dr. Todd can take any bland subject and explain it and present it in a way that will make it entertaining and also educational. The subject of his next presentation does not need any help being interesting, however! He is going through The Beatles album catalog and displaying the clues and hints of the "Paul is Dead" rumor. For those who don't know, there are dozens of references to Paul McCartney dying in the 60's and being replaced by a lookalike. These references include backmasking on songs, artwork, and many other forms of media. It should make for a very entertaining night.
See you next week!
Mike

Do you get in trouble if you have boys in your room?
The Co-Ed Residence Halls (Wilkinson and Nair) do not have visitation rules regarding overnight stays, other than a guest cannot stay in a room for more than 3 days and 3 nights at a time.
The other halls (Givan, Becht, and Ballentine) allow overnight visitors only on the weekends. While there is some variation within the halls, most require that any visitor not residing in the building must be out of the room by midnight.
