Slippery Rock University

No... I didn't slip on any rocks; but Slippery Rock, PA was just like all the other schools I visited in January, COLD! This was the first place that I saw more than 6 inches of snow, and it kept coming! While at Slippery Rock, the university got hit hard by the winter storm that effected the entire northern United States. I was afraid we wouldn't be able to leave the house to eat or have meetings, but don't worry just put it in four-wheel-drive and it's not big deal!

Radford University

Paranormal activity #2 took place in Radford, VA. Here, I legitimately got haunted. Although I have no pictures of the experience, I know it happened and it was spooky to say the least.

So, there I was blow drying my hair minding my own business. I was the only person home in the sorority house built in the early 1900's except for the beautiful white, fluffy, house cat, Leo. Leo was just hanging out in my room with me as I finished getting ready for the day. All of a sudden the power in my room went out. I thought to myself, "No big deal. I must have blown a fuse." I went to the fuse box and sure enough I had blown a fuse. I flipped it back in place and heard my blow dryer start up again in the other room. As I walked in the door to the room, that's when it happened! All the blinds in my room flew right up! Startled, I looked at Leo and said, "It's okay Leo! We are going to be okay!" I then proceeded to gather my things and sit outside. There was no way I was staying in that house any longer.

Other than my supernatural experience, Radford was a beautiful area. It was still cold and snowing, but enjoyable and scenic!

Duquesne University

Paranormal experience #1 happened in Pittsburg, PA at Duquesne University! Duquesne is a Catholic University in downtown Pittsburg so their is no surprise that I captured the ghost of a priest in one of my pictures from this visit:Yup there he is right there on the right side. Zoom in a you can see a beard and scarf. I guess ghosts need to stay warm too!

I also got some great pictures of the snow and downtown Pittsburg. It is such a beautiful city but super cold. A big coat, gloves, and a hat were a must!

Central Michigan University

Sorry, I've been so behind on my blogging. Busy, busy schedule this semester. But now I'm back and have tons of pictures.

I went to Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, MI and got snow to the max. January in Michigan is brutal!

I got to experience gambling at its finest at the Souring Eagle Casino on a Michigan Indian Reserve where I won $20.

Plus got to see a Detroit Pistons Basketball game at the "Palace of Auburn Hills". It was a complete blast.

Northwestern

I've decided that I am now more of a picture taking girl blogger than a writer girl blogger. It saves time and obviously I cannot write. (Usually each post takes me a while to edit and there are still mistakes everywhere.) Anyways here are some pictures from my trip to CHICAGO!!!

Obviously this Chicago Deep Dish Pizza made the first cut... AMAZING!

Lake Michigan!! The top layer was completely ice.

Gorgeous Methodist Church right on Nortwestern's Campus. Everything on campus was old and rustic looking.
