I’m flying up to Vermont with Bets on Friday to go skiing with my aunt, uncle, and four little cousins. I’m really excited! I’ve never been skiing before – from what my uncle tells me, my youngest cousin Cote (6 or 7 years old) will be the one teaching me. The rumor is that he’s the fastest and best skiier of the family. It’s going to be about 4 degrees, and we’re going to be about a mile away from the Canadian border. I think we’re going to try and take a day trip over to Canada one day which will be awesome.

Home is great. I’ve spent most of the day today just relaxing, drinking good coffee with my mom and dad, writing emails, taking a hunter’s safety course online, watching Ice Age 3 with my little brothers, and just enjoying a break from school. It’s hard to believe i’m only a semester away from graduating.
