Hooray! I am almost certain that I didn't contract the mumps after all! At this point I'm sure I would be all mumpy if I was going to become mumpy at all.
This week was a whirlwind of winter adventures!
On Friday I went snowboarding for real!!! Well, mostly. I went to Ban.K ski park with four other people from the lab. One guy is really an expert, one is maybe intermediate, and the other two are a couple who have only been snowboarding once, so luckily I wasn't entirely on my own in terms of my skill level (and lack thereof).
When we arrived, I demonstrated my skill level by sliding directly into a mesh fence :p As a result, I was relegated to practice for most of the time, because that was fine with me. Even though the hill is considered pretty small, it really put Pakenham to shame, and I probably would have died if I had tried it at the beginning. But I learned a LOT, and now I think that I really am ready to try the big girl (aka super beginner) hill next time!
On Saturday there was another unforecasted blizzard! I didn't expect a random blizzard, so I had the bright idea to go to the store to get some towels and blankets and other bulky items because some of my friends are coming to visit in a few weeks. So I had a very fun walk home with an enormous bag in a huge blizzard. It was bad enough that one person got snowed in at school, and the lab door was stuck in an uncloseable position when I arrived on Sunday morning!
On Sunday we went skating again! My friends are really becoming experts. We have our timing down pat, too: they clean the ice every two hours, so we have worked it out that when we arrive the ice is pristine, and then we skate until they clean it again.
