ouch!!

so i finally bought my own snowboard, boots, and binidngs and the whole get up after years of going maybe once or twice a season. the last time i was on a board was actually 2 years ago and even then i wasnt that great, but i was slowly improving. well i went up on the hill on sunday and you would have sworn id never been on a board before. i sucked ass!! haha ... AND ... the conditions were really bad, it was practically like shaved ice. BUT ... i will not give up! escpecially not after spending that money on my equipment. i am determined to improve and possibly actually get semi-decent on the hill!

it's bitter-sweet though because i want it to snow but i dont. this last week, we've actually had a bit of a melt and hasn't really snowed all that much. i know because i havent had to shovel for nearly a week and that part has been amazing!!! i think it's just that i'm so ready for winter to be over at my house but not on the mountain. can't have it all though!

school has started again, first day back today and it went alright. but it means that i'll have to start going to bed early again so that in the likely chance that ill have to shovel snow i can wake up early. i just wish the sun rose early because i hate waking up when it's still dark. it just feels so wrong!
