Well that’s something you don’t hear every day. For the past week there has been a lot of talk around school about a possible snow day on Friday. Finally today, well I suppose yesterday now, the snow actually started coming down. The chances of the snow actually sticking were looking slim, but somehow it ended up sticking as night came. There’s just enough snow on the roads now for Fulton County to declare that it is “unsafe for travel.” What does that mean? Snow day! So what are my plans for the snow day? I would really love to go see Lindsay, but I’m not sure how I could get there. The roads are pretty frozen over. Hopefully something works out though. I’ll probably post pictures of the snow when I can take some when it’s light out. Oh yeah, ROLL TIDE!!

So today I went to visit SPSU. It was raining and looked really grim. Wasn’t a good day to take a tour but it was a half day so it made more sense. My first thought was that it looked more like a prison than a school. Then we went to the administration office to sign in for the tour. The office smelled like an old person’s apartment. That repulsed me a bit. The beginning of the tour was boring. The guy just talked about the school and what it offered and junk. Then we went around the student center. It wasn’t as nice as the one at Alabama but I couldn’t expect much from such a small school. After we saw all the academic buildings we went to the dorms to see one. It was tiny. Very, very tiny. I guess I was just used to seeing Jen’s amazingly large dorm. Then there was the community bathrooms. This doesn’t fly with me. I like my privacy in the bathroom. I don’t like the fact that I would have to share.
So after the tour Stephan was all bummed cause he couldn’t make it in without the college prep diploma. He has to get career tech cause he doesn’t have time to take at least 2 years of a foreign language. I’m graduating with the dual diploma in engineering so I’ll be able to get in easily. Stephan decided to call the recruiter to see what his options were. The recruiter told him that Georgia Highlands College shares the same campus so he would still be able to room with me if he went there instead. GHC is a 2 year college that accepts applicants with the career tech diploma so he would be able to get in. So looks like that’s where we’re going to end up going at the moment but who knows, things could change.

So today was a half day. The most pointless yet fun day of school each month. So after school we had a Big Brothers/Big Sisters CORE team meeting. Basically it was about how we need to change the club name. Some ideas were Raider Buddies, Big Buddies, and Raider Mentors. Comment on which one you like so I can see which ones best. After that Stephan and I were mad craving Taco Bell so we convinced my mom to drive us there. I got a bean burrito and 3 pintos & cheese. Was pretty good. Stephan got his laptop from his house and we decided to have a Counter Strike day. That was all cool until about 1 game in, Sydni told me that her and Abi could go to the mall. I was like hell yes and called my mom to see if she could be chauffeur. She quickly denied and I was like… crap. So I made Stephan call his mom and she also quickly denied the request. After 30 minutes of begging, Mom caved.
So we got to the mall and waited in the Apple store. I checked out the new nanos and I have to admit that they are pretty nice. They felt a bit greasy though. Might have just been because a ton of people touch them. Then I played a nice game of air hockey on an iPod touch with Stephan until Abi and Sydni got there. Meeting Abi was cool. We all walked around the mall a couple times trying to find something to do. Stephan liked sitting way in the back of department stores on the floor. It was pretty fun so I don’t blame him. We found some benches and when I sat down Stephan shoved me off. Was total denial and I was quite unhappy. Abi laughed. We did some more walking and then Stephan and Sydni wanted their alone time so I set off on a search for Dr. Pepper with Abi. I had fun and we ended back up in the Apple store. We stayed there until they left.
So they left at like 6 and my dad wasn’t coming for at least another hour. Stephan and I chilled in the Apple store for a while. I checked the Bookface and did a little farmville til we got bored. We went to GameStop and talked about the PS3. We had only passed 20 minutes. We went to the Clear booth after that and talked to the sales guy named James Slaughter. Creepy last name huh? He was a cool dude. We’re pretty convinced that we want to get Clear now. Seems like a pretty convenient thing to have. Dad finally showed up after 45 minutes of watching Shaq vs. some guy on Hulu. Now I’m home, blogging. Was a pretty good day.
