Slayter

I wish I had had my camera with me. I wish I could describe to you the amount of people who were on Slayter Hill last night. We had our first real snow yesterday. And you could tell that all of Purdue had been chomping at the bit for the opportunity to play in the snow. I would say maybe about 1,000 (although I am not good at estimating) people were out on the hill for the twenty minutes I was there before the police came and closed down the hill. It was amazing. College life at it's best. Although there was obviously the smell of alcohol in the air, it was not the main focus of the event. This was a time when all types of people on Purdue's Campus could join together for some good old fashion fun.

My favorite sledding device: A dorm mattress covered with plastic bags.
My least favorite sledding device: The hood of some one's car. (Yikes!)

My group of consisting of about eleven of my friends retreated to another hill on campus which we had all to ourselves. We proceeded to sled for two hours. The best group sleds were: two long sled and two stacks of three girls laying on each other and one girls balancing on top of the two stacks; all eleven of us linked together carrying all the rest of the sleds and went down together in one massive blob of human appendages. Quality fun. Again, college life at its best.
