It is still snowing...it started yesterday. Of course the campus didn't close today. All the public and parochial elementary, middle, and high schools are closed. But in true Franciscan form - Briar Cliff University NEVER closes!
Did I ever mention the college is situated atop one of the highest hills in the city? Of COURSE it is - the land was donated to the nuns 80+ years ago...because it is a HILL!!! I have to admit however the snow is beautiful. There are many many evergreens on campus and the edges tipped with snow...well it is a lovely scene. As I was passing one of the students outside on the sidewalk I said, "isn't this snow beautiful?" In his Texan drawl he said, "Miss Nancy I have different words for it but my mama wouldn't want me to share them with you." Of course he was wearing long shorts, a hooded winter parka, high top tennies, athletic socks and heavy gloves. I'm not sure any of the students from Texas own long pants...I'll have to think about that for awhile...
I also can't believe the number of students who complained about having to go to classes today. REALLY? You LIVE here - on campus! All you have to do - is roll out of bed - and go to class - in your jammie pants like you do any other day! KIDS!
