It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

So we've made it to the end of the first week of classes! Sigh...only 9 more to go. I just was visiting Winterfest in the Union and there was definitely a lot of Christmas cheer. SAC (Student Activities Council) put together a number of events for us to have fun at and to catch a break from studying. Here's what SAC had planned for this snowy Saturday afternoon and evening. 

Unfortunately, I had other things going on in the afternoon and was not able to attend the hockey game or take a ride on the carriages, but I was able to get a FREE Chic-Fil-A sandwich (key word=FREE) and vote for my favorite decorated RSCO tree (Recognized Student Club and Organization). Here's some pictures that I took of the Ambassador Tree and the Leadership Student Certification Program Tree. 

 Here is the Ambassador Club Christmas Tree decked out in a green jacket design that the Ambassadors got to cut out create themselves. It's a great tree and I hope that students' voted! I certainly did:)

And here we have our LCP Christmas Tree that the 

Executive Board named "The Leaders of Christmas".We cut out drawings of Frosty the Snowman, Santa & Mrs. Clause, The Grinch and many others. 

I also voted for this tree as well!

Snow has certainly made it's way to Erie, Pennsylvania. Our first small snowfall was on November 27th, but it melted away in a few hours. Our first real snowfall was December 1st, and it definitely stuck. It hasn't really stopped snowing since then and I busted out my winter coat and boots. Here's a picture that I took while taking a walk from the Union to class the other day. It was beautiful and the snow was coming down so perfectly as if it was from a movie right before I took it. 

So as we've said goodbye to the sun, which we won't be seeing much of until at least March or April roles around, we welcome snow and hope that Winter term moves by just as fast as Fall term did. It's crazy to think after just one more term I will be a senior. I can't seem to wrap my head around that yet, and I don't think I'm just about ready to do that yet. I'm enjoying my college experience as best as I can, because my time left here is limited.
