Oh, but it's cold outside

I woke up early yesterday to participate in the Homecoming parade. The dorms were eerily silent as most everyone was sleeping in. Even as I returned at 10:30, there was little movement. The weather had turned. The gray skies made sleeping in ideal.
A number of residents made it out of bed in time to attend the Homecoming game. The cold, windy weather made the game a little hard to watch. However, the players' performance made enduring the cold tolerable. The crowd roared as touchdown, touchdown, and 2-point defensive conversion resutled in a victory. (As a side note, Resident Assistant No. 25 Adam Wells rushed for 186 yards and scored a 61 yard touchdown.)
A number of residents attended the Homecoming dance. Ball gowns and tuxedos brightened the gloomy sky. Glamorous couples started returning home just before midnight.
Normally, there are quite a few people outside late at night. Until now, the late hours happened to be the most pleasant time of day. However, with temperatures in the low 40s and upper 30s, standing outside or even playing basketball or volleyball wasn't a choice activity.
Many of the residents who are normally outside started congregating in the Resident Life Building around 10pm. By eleven, RL was buzzing with conversation and activity. The crowd lingered well after 2am when I finished rounds.

The cold weather continues tonight. Again, RL is abuzz with more residents than usual although not as many as last night. I hope that this trend continues.
