Springtime

winter is over and its time to buckle down and get my course work completed. Final deadline is 12 November... uncomfortably close. Yeah so winter was good. Lots of snow and fairly good conditions all around. I ventured up to some skiifields I had never been too before.. namely olympus and dobson. My ski log that I kept says I've been up thirteen times this season. I got my money's worth from my season pass, but I still would have liked to go up more. I'm looking forward to experiencing the canadian-style resorts christmas 2010. I've been accepted into the Otago Polytechnic snowsports instruction course starting in June. I wasn't sure if I would make it or not since they "required" a two year experience log. Apparently the log I provided of this season was adequate. The course is at Cardrona (have never been before) so I'm pretty ramped up for it. The only skifield I have extensively skiied black runs is Porters so hopefully Cardrona won't be much more of a challenge. Which reminds me I really need to go have my skis repaired. I managed to scrape the shit out of the undersides by (very cleverly) skiing over rocks. I have my accomodation more or less sorted for next year. The plan at this point is to live with yvetti, laura and andrew for a few months before packing and moving down to Wanaka... where, if I'm lucky - I'll be able to board with some friends of my parents. Damnit just hurry up and be next year already

let's not rush our way into next year quite yet, mm? we don't want to TOTALLY skip over the satisfaction of completing a degree, do we?

but perhaps if it meant skimming through the yucky uni work and blah ness, maybe it would be worth it...
