Sun on the Penrose lawn

This afternoon was so sunny and golden - finally! It rained the majority of this week too... but it's just made everything so greeeeeen :)
So when Sorry, Bolee, and I went to study at the library, we got distracted by the lush grass and sunny sky. We just had to sit down and chill for a few minutes...

It was too bad we had to go inside and study for real :( But it's week ten after all! Finals are next week so it's time to get serious. Only nine days left of freshman year - woah.

Rain, rain, go away.

♫ It's beginning to look a lot like Bronxville. Rain in every ditch. But the prettiest sight to see is the blue sky that will be, after this weather glitch. ♫
(sing to the tune of "It's beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas")


Remember that great big flood Bronxville had back in 2007.... okay, well I'm beginning to think DU is going to flood over any second. It has been raining on and off for the past three days now. 

Kinda depressing. Perhaps my wishing for a lot of rain back in March finally came true. In a big, annoying way.

Rho, Rho, Rho Your Boat!

∆Z's annual Senior Formal (our third and final formal of the year) was at the Cherry Creek Marina and Yacht Club this year (hence the boat title). It was such a pretty venue and everyone who went was so pretty and dressed up too! We all met at the house beforehand to take lots of pictures (kinda like prom), then we got on the bus and partied the night away...
My friends and I all had dates, which was fun :) Ginger took her two best friends who came to visit. I took a ∑X sophomore/friend. Sorry took another of two our friends. Smiley took a friend from home. Unicorn took a very fine ∑X senior. And Betty Crocker took her boyfriend.

May Day

Happy May, everyone!!! Ginger and I celebrated with our friend Cooper (not my brother) by skiing at A-Basin. That's right - skiing in MAY. All my snowbunnies out there: be jealous ;)

We stopped along the way to take a few pictures at the Continental Divide sign, which I've been wanting to do ever since I got to DU. Don't be fooled by the elevation on the sign here. The Basin is even higher - we skied at almost 14,000 ft!

How's the weather back home? Warm, sunny, flowers, greeeeeen and springyyyy??

Snow and life and kiddos and things

A lot is going on today!
Yesterday was literally 85 degrees and right now it is SNOWING. Chyaaa not the same weather. But I'm used to it now hahaha... oh Colorado.

Also yesterday, I did community service at Mount Saint Vincent Home. It is a home/school for children who have mental disabilities, experienced neglect or abuse, or are in foster care. We helped make their playground all pretty and cleaned up the garden for when the kids come out to play in the spring (probably not today). It was really fun and a lot of other DZs were there too so we got to do good things together!

Tonight, Nessie and I are hosting two prospective students overnight. They're gonna stay in our room and hear about all the awesome things about DU!! Wonder how we're gonna fare in this god-awful weather...

Happy Sunday! Can't wait for this bee-a-you-tee-ful month of April to get going! It's had a great start so far :)

NEON POLLUTION

Today is April Fool's Day and so it's a tradition of ski mountain locals to dress really crazily and ski all over the mountain. These are our pictures. I'm sure you get the idea...
