We Are Young

Thanks to nora for pushing me to write a new post, I knew that one was needed.


Anyway, I'm done with my first week of classes and work, and it was pretty good. I'm really happy with my classes and schedule, and I'm so happy to be back. But the best news is that I went snowboarding on saturday, and it was soooooo awesome. I got my season pass, which I'm really happy about, and I actually have a decent picture on it. I was afraid that It would look obnoxious or something if i was wearing my gear. I'll probably post a picture of the season pass at some point in the future. Anyway, the trails were great, and I was so excited to be there. Every time I snowboard, I can feel myself getting better. This time, I went downhill faster than I've ever gone before, which goes to show that my confidence is increasing. 


I only fell forward over myself twice, which is pretty good. (I fell sideways a couple of times too, but for the most part, I can push myself back up, and keep going with some momentum). Falling forward is weird, because usually you don't anticipate it happening at all, so all of a sudden you're sliding down the mountain face first. And it's pretty hard to stop myself when it happens because I'm usually going at a decent speed, and you just dont really have any way of slowing yourself down effectively when face-first. 


I can't wait to get back to the mountain (this weekend, I hope!)


Here's a picture from the top of the mountain. Yes, there is another peak right behind the one I'm on (Which is already pretty darn high). I plan on going to the second peak next time. 

Chea!
