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.

Missing a lot of time

So I know it has been a while since I last posted and I tried right after the new year but for some reason it didn't want to post! Pretty much to sum it up... I went to Jackson, Wyoming. Mischa, Nikolai's brother, shot a buffalo! We spent New Years Eve at the Dorros' (family friends of the Dziezyc's). Moroccan was the theme and belly dancers to boot.

After I returned to my dorm I had a lot of unpacking to do and not to mention putting a lot of my furniture back against the walls.  My classes consist of spanish, calculus, biology cell concepts and a writing and literature class. My first few weeks went well. I went to the Xgames in Aspen with a few girls. Nikolai drove there from Salt Lake where he goes to school. Last weekend I went to Boulder to spend time skiing with my dad at Eldora skiing and to watch the super bowl! I felt very sick later in the day on Sunday and my mom told me to go get tested for the flu. Ta Da I got the flu and I had 2 mid terms yesterday and I hope the one on Friday goes better. Well I hope I feel better soon too!

I don't have much else going on other than that. Valentine's Day I am going to go see Nikolai in Salt Lake and the weather has been super nice, almost like its spring!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving and being home with my family was so nice. I have missed everyone so much and coming home to all of them was a real treat!  I had a few nights at my moms house and it was relaxing with Hugh and Abigail. My grandpa was there as well for a few days.  When Katie came home from school, we then stayed at my dads house. Analisa redecorated the guest house and it looks great!  Tyler, Analisa's younger brother who is a SEAL stayed with Katie and I, except he slept on the pullout couch.  There were 2 28 lb turkeys for 20 people. I made 2 soy pumpkin cheesecakes. I got to see GiGi, Theodore, Geanie, Kathryn, Jim, Janet, Uncle Richie and his friend Mario, Uncle Mike and Aunt Lynda, Tyler, Todd and Diane, all of us 7 kids.  We all had so much fun!

The next morning we went to moms house to say goodbye to Boppa.  Mom drove him back to the bay area, and Jim and his daughter Katie went back to Reno.  The rest of the day we all hung out played foot ball and got Christmas trees. We had dinner at Edgewood and couldn't stop laughing the entire time!  Everyone came over for dinner on Saturday night at we watched the USC football game and ate turkey soup and set up the christmas tree. Everyone left Sunday morning and Dad and Analisa drove Katie and Tyler to the airport and did christmas shopping while I babysat the remaining kids. We played tag and football and now we are all hanging out and watching a move. 

It was a great week to come home to!

1 Week to Go

Sorry it has been a while, there hasn't been a whole lot going on since I last posted.  My mom went to LA for her and Katie's birthdays. They took Abigail and Jim, but not Andrea... Katie turned 21! I sent her some gifts in the mail, along with mom. The weather is getting much colder, I think it will snow today, it was supposed to snow yesterday. I was a cheetah for halloween, I went to downtown and into a club for a GirlTalk concert and it was so much fun! Getting back to the dorms was difficult but we made it! Next week I have a paper and two tests but on finals week I have one test. I thought all finals were supposed to be on finals week. Then my friend Grant may come to Denver on a road trip but Im not sure if everything will work out that we can drive home for Thanksgiving. But I am SO excited for all the great food!
