I'm now a veteran of many things....

First off, as promised, I'll tell you about my midterms. They were a piece of cake!! The only one that I struggled with (and probably failed....) was biology. But what computer techie-slash-author needs to know about the structure of a molecule to that DEPTH??!

My advice for anybody struggling through their midterms: Don't stress, take it slow, and if you payed attention most of the time, you'll do fine!! *ahem ahem, you know who you are :P*

On this past Tuesday I learned to snowboard. It was a crazy idea to start with; I already knew how to ski, so why shouldn't I just stick with what I'm good at? But I decided to get a lesson. So it's one thirty and really nice out. I walk over to where the lesson's starting (more like crawl and drag my board-quite ungracefully...) and my boarding teacher is drop...dead...GORGEOUS!! I mean the works: bright blue eyes, floppy blond hair, crooked smile and a tan that a guy covered in snowclothes all day shouldn't have.

It's not like I was falling in love with him or anything, but I tend to get embarassed easily when a cute guy watches me make a fool of myself.

So we went to the hill. I learned how to strap in, all about the different parts of the snowboard, and how to stop. That's about it... So he says "Now, point the front of the board down the mountain and stop on your heel edge." I fell on my face....

The rest of the day went about the same, except alternating between my butt, face and for an added twist, my HEAD...

Haha....and then I was stupid enough to actually try to go down the mountain..... I'll leave that picture to your imagination.

Sitting in a epsom salt bath that's so hot I'm getting blisters!!! :D post later!

Confessions of a Freshman "Midtermer"

Midterm Time is killing me!! Or at least it WAS. Haha. Sunday and Monday I killed myself studying until I couldn't speak coherent english. (Literally... it was kinda pathetic) and then I didn't even study yesterday and I do wicked well on them today!!! I'm gonna study for my biology exam tonight, but the best way to prepare for midterms is to NOT freak out.

Especially for me, since when I freak out, I shut down and can't do ANYTHING, nevermind geometry or writing!!

PS: I'll have a sequel to this post called "Confessions of a Freshman Midterm Veteran" because currently, I am in the dead (excuse my pun) middle of the war against failurizing my freshman year. If I'm missing body parts any time in the near future, I had to auction them off to buy a better grade on whichever one of these I don't do well on!!!!
