It is the first of February and I can't believe that we leave Tulsa in a little over a month. A ice/snow storm came through Tulsa Thursday night and Friday during the day. The storm brought in a thick layer of ice followed by about 6 or 7 inches of snow. Because of the coming storm we were let out of work early which meant that we worked from 9am to 1:15pm. It was really nice to get out of work early and be back at the center by 1:30pm. Friday work was canceled so I got my second "snow day" since being in AmeriCorps. Because of the weather we couldn't even take the vans out and were stuck in the community center. I slept in, watched a couple of movies, worked on my scarf, and had a snow ball fight on the play ground. Friday night we lost power for a couple of hours. During that time Mel took photos of us making photos with lights. They came out really interesting.
Saturday it stopped snowing and the whole team wanted to get out of the house so we made a trip to Wal-Mart. We bought food for the week and other items that we each needed. You could tell that Tulsa is not set up to handle snow because the parking lot of the Wal-Mart was still covered in snow/ice slush. Shannon and I had a hell of a time getting our cart through the snow. On Sunday we did laundry in the morning and then a few of us went to the YWCA to work out. I went swimming which was a lot of fun. The pool was really warm which was really nice. That afternoon we went as a team to the Tulsa 66ers Basketball game. We were given the tickets by CAP. Our seats were four rows from the floor. I was excited because I had never been to a professional basketball game before. Its one thing to here about a 7 ft player but is something else to see how tall they are in person.
