SOS Outreach

So my first week of school, after spring break and into the next quarter. I am currently sitting in my room, alone drinking wine and eating Thai take out. I watched Tarzan, then Hercules and now it is the beginning of Aladin. God I love the disney channel when they have marathons of good movies! I had a very big blonde moment when I scheduled my plane ticket, I accidentally made it for April 22, not March. So I flew out monday morning and made it back to school in time for Bio class. My classes this quarter are spanish, and my teacher is a kook! Bio concepts, evolution, and so far, I like the teacher but I am holding off on my full opinion because I don't want to  be caught biting my tongue... A requirement class called Creative Expressions (CREX for short) and mine is: Speaking Out, Ideas that Matter, so far seems like it will be fun! And an Art History: Survey of Asian Art, and that teacher, well, she likes to talk about her cats, a lot.. and you know how my family and I feel about cats ha ha!

For the art history class we have to attend 3 art openings throughout the quarter. I went to one last night (Friday) in Cherry Creek, the shopping center north of where DU is.  It was in a furniture gallery so I decided to go because it was the closest, it turns out that the event was for SOS Outreach. This organization is to promote children to get out and go skiing and boarding. So they had a competition for K2 snowboards and to design a now cover for it. They also promoted 14 vodka. So for $12 we got free food, little bites from a mexican place, free drinks, and to look at a whole bunch of snowboard designs! There was also a raffle for a bunch of snowboard gear, too bad we didn't win. It was just up my ally. After that we went to a nice restaurant near by, North, and had appetizers for dinner.

Thursday we got calls, texts and emails at 6 am saying school was shut down for the day in regards to a snow day. Confused as we were because there was no snow on the ground. Well I got up at 8 am and my friend on my floor asked if I wanted to go skiing with another 2 girls from our floor. So we needed to go to Boulder to get one of the girls pass then on to Vail, and then we found out there was so much traffic that we decided just to try and ski and Eldora instead! However there was so much freaking traffic that we couldn't even get off the freeway! We turned around and went back to school. I went on a costume hunt and thursday night I got invited to a concert where Kinetics was playing and it was hosted by one of the frats here at DU. All of the proceeds went to a disabled children's foundation, it was a 70's theme called Mustache Bash and it was nuts! They played a bunch of old 70's rock songs.

Im going to start off my second week of school, Wish me Luck!

Snow

So last week, it was 75 outside, we were tanning and playing football. Today I woke up, and there is snow everywhere! Its 10 out with windchill, it is -2, and most mountain passes are closed, and traffic is going and a Consistent 10 MPH. Do I hope it is a snow day! heck yea because finals start tomorrow!!! Wish me luck... Then I am off to sunny Palm Springs with my dad, Hugh, Abigail and Kaite... Home for two days to get my teeth fixed FINALLY! I really just want it to be friday boo hoo

The week before

So finals start next week, so I feel as though, with school, it is the calm before the storm. I seem to have no homework this week which has been a first for the entire quarter. I am really liking my spanish teacher as well. Biology is tough but I also expected it. It has been strangely warm here, today it was 70. I am really home sick... and not a whole lot else to report, I want to go to a beach.
