Welcome to "There and Back Again". I am the creator (I guess that is what you would call me), Nicole....soon to be Николя (Nikolya). For those of you who still don't know what I am talking about, I am going to be a Russian exchange student and a member of the outbound class of 2005. I have worked very hard to get this and have been pushed equally hard by those who love and care for me most to kick my fears and reach for my dream. This website has been designed as a tool to keep my friends, family, and aquaintences informed on my whereabouts and activites. Also, I hope that other inquisitive souls interested in doing something like this will be able to use this website for inspiration and information. I hope this helps recruit the next generation of exchange students. For more about me and the exchange student program I am using, click on the "About Me" button at the top left of the page. Enjoy!

What's New?

September 18, 2005
      I added some new pictures in "Nics Pics (USA)", and also made a new blog entry. And just a reminder; I usually don't make an update email/notice for new blog entries....so just check every once in a while. Love to all! UPDATE as of 11:58 pm, I know who my first host family in Russia is. Read my blog to find out.
 
September 14, 2005
       I added several pictures to the "out and about" page. I got all of them from the Vladivostok Rotaract site. They took a while to load on the Rotaract site, so I don't know how long they will take to load here. 
 
September 13, 2005
      Guys, it's time...you know what that means. Check out my blog. Now....
 
September 5, 2005
       Did updates to the Travel Diary/Blog. Here is a hint: I know more about my Russian future.
 
August 28, 2005
       Got a lot more new pics on here...all over. I also created a blog. For those of you who don't know what that is, a blog is pretty much just an online journal that all you guys can see. I have links to it under the "about me" and "travel diary" sections. Just trying this out...will see if it works the way I want it to. oooook, then!
 
August 21, 2005
         I didn't do anything of much importance, but I changed the backgraound design and redid the welcome note on the welcome page, the "About Me" section, and the "Contact Me" section. I just thought the wording was rather trite and childish. Hopefully the new wording will come across more mature and in line with my much more mellow side. Ha ha ha; alliteration. I love it.
 
August 20, 2005
        Major change in travel plans; I am no longer going to Irkutsk. Look in the travel diary for more info. New pics in the "Out and About" section.
 
August 7, 2005
        Redid pics all over the site. New diary entry. Also made it so that new entries are at the top.
 
August 4, 2005
        Didn't do anything on the diary except fix old pictures. Yeah, that was mostly it this time. Have new pics all over especially "Nic's Pics; Out & About". Oh yeah, I at least have an idea that I will be leaving in September. ha.
 
May 1, 2005

April 27, 2005
        Just added a picture under the "about me" section, and another one under the "Nics Pics USA" section. ttyl
 
April 26, 2005
       Talk about rennovations!!! As you can see on the home page, I have finally figured out how to get pictures on here. For more pics, go to the Nics Pics @ Home thing-a-majig or whatever it's called. Also, there is a long entry under the Travel Diary. As I said, it is long, but I really hope you guys read it; I mention a lot of you in it but you won't know what I said about you unless you read it. ha HAH! ::sly grin::. Also, I have some pics in the Travel Diary. Oh yeah, just FYI, in the Travel Diary, the newest entries are at the end. lol. Just so you didn't get too confuddled. OK, ttyl!
Oh yeah, I also made a slight alteration to the "About Me" section. See if you can guess what it is.
 
March 7, 2005
