snowed in.

Look how beautiful our home is in the snow!

We too, in Clinton South Carolina were affected by the blizzard of 2011. We woke up on Monday morning to the sight of campus covered in thick beautiful snow to which we said, "let's go back to sleep". So on 3G we slept in a little bit on Monday morning before heading out to face the snow head on. We put on every piece of clothing we own. Most wore at least two pairs of pants, three pairs of socks, two shirts, some sort of fleece, a jacket and then a heavy coat. A lot of us didn't have gloves so we were resourceful in using socks over our hands... they didn't stay dry long. 

So we found every sort of flat bottomed item, ie laundry baskets, Tupperware containers, lids, boxes and we took them to the stadium for the great hills. Here we are walking on the main road on PC's campus.. a complete block of ice and snow.

Once we got there, Mary Brown decided to pull some moves out on her own. The snow was a bit too thick and powdery for our likings so we tried every way we could to just get down a durn hill.

We were all just getting frustrated with the lack of sledding, so we went back to the dorm and laid around--- for the next two days. When we got back, it look like the hall had exploded. Every piece of clothing we wore out in the snow was wet and cold so all the wet clothes just laid in the hall, along with our wet boots. We watched a lot of netflix, took very few showers, took personality tests, caught up on our television, played uno, and did the saltine challenge. It's apparently not humanly possible to eat four saltines in one minute. Here's a clip of us trying to do so, you know defeat the odds.

We ate smores, and made messes--- 

Then, the last night before classes were to start back (Wednesday night) Maria, Mary Brown, Emily, Katie and Liz got away for a little while. We had a brilliant idea given to us to take a cookie sheet and sled down the ICE at the stadium. Naturally we couldn't back down from a challenge. So that adventure began with this--Mary Brown falling on our way to the hills....and not being able to get up because of the ice. 

and ended with the brutal and deadly fall of liz on the ice... 

.....with all of this excitement in between. 

They returned with MANY bruises, welps, scratches and bloody scratches. It was all well worth the adventure. 

Happy snowy vacation from 3G-- now back to the real world, PC.

WE'RE BACK IN 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT UP FOLLOWERS!!

3G is back and having a great time being back on the hall together--most of the girls on the hall have pushed their beds together and we currently have multiple king size beds. We've taken turns watching movies and laying around in different beds, you know to change the setting. We've been looking like this in front of the TV-- in all of our glory.

Let's see... we started classes last week, ADPi had their semi-formal Friday night, Theta- Chi had their Christmas Party Saturday- Maria and Mary Brown went to it. We have been dressing up, cleaning up, eating up, and waiting for the snow to hit all weekend!

Kate Snead had her first function on Friday night as a legal 21 year old. Kate was very upset that she had to mop the floors after the semi-formal... She claimed that "she was being treated like a slave, and that people needed to just needed to start calling her Annie." True Life. She said she had blisters all over her hands from mopping the venue. Witnesses claim that Kate mopped an area of 3x4feet. That's almost as big... as a mop. So after Kate has been abused, mistreated, had been called orphan Annie, we told her to go to bed...immediately.

And- here's a picture of Kate at the semi-formal, dancing. Kate doesn't dance-- this is Kate Snead in her rarest form, being dipped and TEARING up the dance floor. 

After thirty minutes of being at the houses, girls were called to come back in and check on Kate. The girls frantically came to Kate's room, and she was missing. They immediately knew where she was- Hannah's king size bed... in her semi-formal dress...crying, a lot. The girls got Kate out of a bed that didn't belong to her, and into her own, and into PJs, to get to sleep! 

Here's a picture of some 3g girls out at the fraternity houses on Friday night! Obviously you can tell we hadn't been out in a while, we are looking mighty WHITE and BRIGHT. We had a great time belting out some Jason DeRulo-- and Emily showing off some straight arm-ed dance moves. 

Saturday Night, disaster. Liz, unpacked quietly in her room while the majoity of the hall came back to 3g in drunken tears. So dumb. But, the girls had fun out to say the very least. Too much fun. Kate and Hannah were RUDE, Mary Brown came in with tears asking Liz to "hold her", doesn't remember why today.

This afternoon, we layed around and watched movies in Hannah's bed.... Here's an arguement that was had by Hannah and Emily. We all love their fights and here's another great one. 

 We had a surprise RAVE TONIGHT for Callie Neal's 20th Birthday!!!! She was brought over blind folded---

and 3G waited patiently for her surprise RAVE thrown by US!! THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!! Props to Emma Reynolds for taking all of the awesome pictures with her new cam!! 

Callie, we love you and love it when you grace the hall with your presence. We love the spend the nights, and the laughs come our way.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALLIE NEAL. YOU ROCK, LOVE 3G!!!!!!!!!!

Another Year Has Come And Gone

Oh how I have missed 3G!! I decided I would fill you all in on what has been going on in the small town of Johnston, SC. This has been a great Christmas break!
Before I even returned home I went to visit Sallie Wham for some bonding time. We ate alot and laid around and talked...3G's favorite things to do! When I did finally make it home, I returned to a decorated house and fresh flowers in my room!

 The barn behind my house. My parents decided to put lights on it this year. Apparently a few went out.

 The wreath that is hung on my bedroom door every year. I have had this wreath since my senior year in high school when I found out I got into PC!

                                                                 The Christmas Tree!

After I got settled in and unpacked I went into what Claire likes to call my "Hibernation." Literally I basically slept for a week. If I wasn't sleeping I was lounging around watching tv, shopping, or hunting.

 Laying around watching The Nanny and drinking White Russians...pretty much my life over break!

                                                                

This was my life until I packed up and drove FIVE hours to visit my wonderful roommate Claire! Of course I didnt leave on time, but I finally made it there safe and sound. The first thing we did was open our Christmas presents from each other. Claire gave me a movie and basically footed pajamas but without the feet. The pajamas were great because the Claire and her sister have a traditon that they get up one morning and wear their footed pajamas and make a ginger bread house. I was able to be apart of this tradition this year!

I would post a picture of the three of us in our pajamas but I looked terrible in that picture. So after we finished the ginger bread house we lounged around and then got ready for Mrs. Chewning's Christmas Party! We had a BLAST!

 This is Ashley, Clair, and I before the party. Ashley is Claire's roommate from St. Mary's. 3G will love her when she comes to visit!

After a GREAT visit with the Chewning's it was FIVE hours back home! Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were great! It was wonderful to have family gathered together. "Santa" was also very good to us!

 I couldn't find Harrison so I took a picture with Snowflake (the cat) instead. I have had her for ten years. Only I would test "Santa" and ask for a solid white cat a week before Christmas.

                                                                        Christmas Day!

Many people had a White Christmas. We on the other hand had snow the day after Christmas which was Sunday. Well thank goodness that Johnston is such a small town and that I live right around the corner from my Church because I had to walk there that morning. I am still carless and Harrison was so impatient and wouldn't wait five more minutes for me to finish getting ready so I walked to church in heels in the snow!

So I have done a little hunting over the break. Sadly I didn't kill anything, but Harrison and I got in some great bonding time. He had already killed a couple of deer this season so he was so willing to take me. On our last hunt he killed a bob cat from 15 yards and completely blew the insides out of it. He was proud!

Now I am getting ready to head back to PC and trying to figure out where I am going to put everything I am bringing back. 3G, I miss you all and can't wait to see ya'll and have hall bonding time!!!! See ya'll soon!!!
