More college...and sore muscles...

I had my "normal" classes today, gosh I hurt. All my muscles in my upper body KILL! We worked out doing lovely sit-ups, push-ups, and squats. I did 36 sit-ups in 60 seconds, 20 push-ups in 30 seconds, and 37 squats in 60 seconds. I was so tired...that was the first 20 min of class actually. After that we where to work out until 11:00...so I went and played around with some of the machines and started lifting on the bench press machine of sorts and was feeling VERY weak cause I was only lifting 85 pounds. I found out after the fact that that is 85 pounds per arm...so...yeah.

I still do not like psychology, even though it is easy...I don't like it. Ugh! Evolutionary psychologists...

Today Katy told me that I was invited to the Lutz's house on the 2nd...I hope that all works out, cause I haven't really had time to spend with them. Last time I was there I we didn't really have time to spend cause Cody and I were going to Holiday Valley for the day. I do just wanna hang out with them...it will be fun if I can work everything out.

2 cameras, 18 hours, 180 miles, 1 ski resort, 12 church hockey games and one cold=me being very tired and sore...

Today was AWESOME! I got to go skiing with Cody today! It was so awesome, took a bunch of pics with that awesome new camera. It was so much fun filming him! I took a bunch of videos and made kind of like a mini movie, that was a lot of fun, I never played with Windows Movie Maker before so the movie is pretty simple.

I loved every minute of the time, Cody did a lot of freestyle stuff, just warming up while all I did was work on landing my jumps. He is a really good snowboarder...he hasn't snowboarded too long either, I guess this is both of ours' first REAL year.

I left my house at 6:30 this morning, got to his house in Bliss at 7:30, left from there and got to Holiday Valley in Ellicottville at 8:30...only to find that the lifts don't open till 9:00...oh well! We waited until 9:00 and i went to get the White Cards but couldn't find the one that I borrowed! I looked EVERYWHERE! No where to be found. Cody kept offering to pay for his pass, but I had promised him that it wouldn't cost him anything to go to Holiday Valley so I wasn't gonna let him pay (after all it was my own carelessness that forgot the card). Then I remembered something, something that I know was God's doing...when I was skiing on Monday, I was on my way out the door to start the day off and I stopped to fix my boot. I was kneeling in the front room where the lift tickets were sold and I heard this guy using his White Card swipe AND his free March pass on the same day. You see, with the White Cards the card holder is eligible for 9 8 hour lift tickets any non-holiday weekday and one "anytime" 8 hour pass to be used in March. So yeah, it didn't end up costing anything because God reminded me of that, which was pretty cool.

Well we skied and then left for home around 2:30-ish...on my way home my friend Pat called me and wondered if I wanted to play hockey...OF COURSE I DID! So I played hockey at the church until pretty late. My teams won all their games! WE ROCKED! I was very sore...and tired.

Skiing Solo.

Today was my first day of spring break. I went skiing today, it was fun to just drive up to Ellicottville and ski all day. It was kind of a downer that I didn't have any of my friends to come with me... The skiing was pretty good, I was the first one down Morning Star. It was around 30 degrees, so everything was still pretty solid, but later it warmed up. I did some jumps, I am still working on landing, and also overcoming my will and hitting the jumps faster to go farther. Yeah pretty scary stuff. I rode up the lift with a 4 different people: one older couple was from a little town aboot 70 km north of Toronto, another guy stays at Holiday Valley all winter and skies everyday, and the last one was a guy who skis at HV about as often as me.

I saw a Very interesting family while skiing, the ENTIRE family was wearing "spring wear" like shorts and t-shirts and stuff...the little boy looked the funniest cause he had these shorts on with thes BIG HONKIN' snowboarding boots. He is sitting in the middle of the lift. It was pretty funny.

A lot of the boarders were having problems later in the day. The sun came out after lunch and it warmed up to 50-ish degrees; it ended up making like mashed potatoes...about 4-5 inches of mashed potatoes...not too fun...but VERY funny to watch from the lift. It was a very good day, I got a lot of runs. I tried to stay off the lift as much as possible, going pretty much all the way down the mountain before getting on a lift at the very end.

The drive home was not too bad...instead of driving home like the way I came (Rte. 98 to E. Arcade to 36 to 242) I just went 242 to 36 to 98. Which was simpler, since all I really had to do was to keep driving on that same road...quite simple. Fun day. I LOVE SKIING!

Fun-day Sunday!

Today I had an easy day, so I thought...it all started out pretty much wrong having my phone get unplugged in the middle of the night and the battery dying=no alarm clock. That caused me to wake up at 8:30 which is the time we leave for church on Sundays. That meant 3 min. shower, no shave, breakfast, and chew a piece of Strident gum; well none of my family was ready to leave anyway so I hurried up and ate breakfast, shaved and brushed my teeth, then waited for my family to do the same pretty much.

We were about 45 min late for Sunday School which meant we missed opening (which I enjoy) and got to class late. The theme that I got from the message this morning and tonight were pretty much the same, even though they were never meant to coincide like they did. Most of what I was reminded of was trusting in God...no matter the circumstances.

After church we hung out and I talked with my pastor, who is going to be going to another church in March, about worship leading and how was he planning to fill the gaps that he was opening up.

This afternoon I worked on some homework from college and an art collage using only text to create a point of interest using only one color but all shades of that color. It is very annoying because I cannot do half the things I want, cause the teacher has ruled them out. (idk y.)

Like I said church this afternoon was much like church in the morning with what I got out of it; but I did talk with some of the girls I know there, one being Laura, who just got back from touring the CIA on Friday. NO! I do NOT mean the Central Inelegance Agency...gosh...people these days...no, she was at the open house at the Culinary Institute of America.

On our way home from church we stopped at the local supermarket to buy stuff to make subs for tomorrow...(don't make me tell you that we were NOT constructing the ones that go underwater, but the ones you eat...really...what is this world coming too?) Like I was saying, making submarine sandwiches for the skiing trip tomorrow at Holiday Valley. I hope it is good weather like its been these last couple of days.

Well, that's all folks...see ya soon...well, not really, but in a manner of speaking...write to you tomorrow.
