Sledding!

Hello my fellow peeps. I am back. This time, not so emo....and this is a joint blog with DKim.

So today we went sledding on the Tufts campus, and it was glorious. I finally fulfilled one of my childhood dreams [Daniel not so much]. The day went like so [Stephanie's perspective]:

Arrive at Tufts and trudge through at least a foot of un-plowed snow for about 10, 15 minutes

We finally arrive at the hill where many other Tuftees and children are sledding

Me and this other girl named Shireen were having a blast going down these hills

Daniel and Chase (the 2 men in our gang) sled down the hill twice, then stopped and were complaining how cold it was, and how their feet hurt. Although Daniel had a legit excuse, since he forgot to bring gloves....yeauh.

We came back, then everybody but Daniel ate maple syrup with snow, and it was very delectable.

I love today!!!! yay. Next to do on my childhood list is to make a snow angel and snowman. Shall update you guys with that later.

Here's Daniel's perspective of the day:

Yes, yes. so i feel there is much more to the story. We shall begin earlier. So I had gone to church earlier that day, and didn't know that we were going sledding at 1pm (right after church). so i, stupidly forgetting that sledding requires some heavy duty snow gear, said that i would meet them at Tufts since i was already halfway there. (i also didnt have gloves with me; important to note for later on in the story) i knew they were going to be late, so i waited a bit and went to tufts. of course, i was too generous and they were much later than expected. figures. (on a side note, i stopped by a drug store and read a tad of The Eight, Alex, though it wasnt particularly interesting at the beginning).

so then we trekked through the snow to tufts. and the walk was long. i think i have a blister now. we asked some people about the hills in the area, discovered a nice big one (already populated by people) and started sledding down. and this is where my hands froze up. such that i could barely stand to hold the cafeteria tray that we were sledding on (yes, we stole cafeteria trays from our dining hall, and yes, we will return them). and the rest is a relatively straightforward story. we tried a few things, like a sledding train and face-first sledding (mostly Steph with a notable epic fail when she was trying a running start and ended up on her stomach with the tray still in front of her for some odd reason...) and then my hands froze. so yeah. my side of the story.

yay!!! so thats how we spent our day. Love from Steph, and adieu from DK.
