It's official, though maybe not that interesting: I've had my first "snow day." This past Wednesday, 10 Feb 2010, my University was closed and my class canceled for the severe weather NY was experiencing. In some places (like this car) I think we accumulated close to a foot. Anyway, growing up in California I thought Snow Days only happened in cartoons so I thought I'd let anyone like me know they're actually real.
The weather calmed down towards the end of the week and we've settled into a relatively mellow pattern of 30-degree day after 30-degree day. Danie's gotten really tough. Now when it's sunny she goes for runs in the park. Yes, the same girl that used to wear sweatshirts during the summer in Sacramento if she happened to be sitting in the shade now hops over snow-sludge in spandex with a smile just because it's sunny.
The semester has started at breakneck speed for me, but it's going well. I'm taking three classes again: 'Development Economics', 'Comparative Development Experience', and 'Transnational Corporations, Justice and Rights'. I'm also taking a Spanish class again and I'm continuing my research assistantship, so I'm plenty busy. Actually, Danie will also be taking Spanish again this Spring. Superwoman.
The week before last Wendy was out for a visit and we had a great time. It was really fun to see the mother-daughter duo take off each morning in matching "puffy-coats". Unfortunately I had just started school so I wasn't able to take part in all of the shenanigans, but the ladies had a blast and let me tag along whenever I could. As soon as Danie uploads her pictures from the trip I'll have her post some on here.
Until then...
