Happy New Year!

It has been a fairly long time since my last entry, in fact, my last entry was last year! For New Years I hung out in my room and celebrated with a pudding cup and my friend Hannah on Skype. All my plans were cancelled last minute which left me home in my room on Skype. The funny thing is, I am totally fine with my quiet night in. It will make next new years in SLC just that much more fun and the Carne Asada will taste even better!
I am planning on going to Dijon tomorrow but my plans are still subject to change. I have a feeling that most of my friends in France will be hungover for the next couple days (given by the photos on Facebook) so whatever I do, I do it alone.
I have decided to give up on my desire to go see the Hobbit in France and I shall instead plan on going with Hannah when I return. I also plan on DRIVING to the movie theater :D. With less than 27 days until I am back in Salt Lake City, I am doing everything in my power to make these days count. The one thing I know I will not be able to do is see Paris. That thought still make me very sad but I just have to remember that I am only 16 and I have plenty of time in  my life to explore more of Europe. 
I know I am being overly redundant but I am so excited to be home! I am excited for  my bed, my car, my family, my friends, FOOD, my kitchen, the ability to fully understand school, but mainly, I am excited for my bed; my comfortable, soft, fluffy, warm, big bed. 


Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention that I went snowboarding the other day. It was very fun and I spent most of the time on easier slopes due to the extreme lack of snow. At one point, I lost my camera, at another point, the binding on my board broke and one of the pieces came off and I had to search for almost 30 minutes before I found it. Once I found the missing piece, I went to the chairlift operator and before I could say anything he asked if I wanted my camera back... Apparently I had been described to him beforehand because I had never talked with him before. I ended up downloading because of my broken binding. It has always been a dream of mine to download and I always wonder what it would be like to just never get off the chairlift.
