Will miss Winter, but lookin forward to WARM WEATHER!!!!




So I haven't blogged in a while... I have been working on school projects and getting ready to move. This weekend we (Michael and I) were pretty productive with getting things cleared out and hauled to Goodwill. It's really amazing how much stuff accumulates over about a year or two.
SOOOO...







I AM SELLING MY SKIIS AND BINDINGS(size:180), SKI BOOTS (size: 8 or 8.5) and LARGE WHITE COLUMBIA SNOW PANTS!!! I am keeping my ski poles because I still use them for snowshoeing. If anyone wants these, let me know! The ski pants are going for $20 (I got them last year, they are in great condition, as they have only been used once). The skiis are Elan brand skiis and are about 4 years old... need to be waxed and sharpened. BINDINGS ARE SOLOMAN. Boots, bindings and skiis are going for $50. If anyone is interested, please email me at ekasch@mscd.edu. Thanks!

Anyway, I am selling this stuff because I have used them enough to know that I do not skii on a 180 ski. When I bought them, I thought a 180 would be right, but as it turns out, I ski best on 155's. Plus, I do not get up into the mountains near enough anymore. I only get up there to skii every once in a while, so I would rather rent.

Anyway, speaking of skiing, I had such a blast at Winter Park with my teammates. The ski train was awesome! Ill have to remember that for next year! Poor Noah... He hit his head hard that day several times... I was kinda worried about him. My parents are great skiiers and have told me lots of stories of people needing to be hauled off the mountain from their days of being ski instructors at Breckenridge. I thought Noah was gonna be one of those peeps! I think it was a combination of being dehydrated, hitting his head from falling, and just having tired muscles from learning how to snowboard.

Thats why I skiied at Winter Park rather than learn how to snowboard. I wanted to be able to walk the next day! I give my teammates props though for learning. They all did a great job! Michael also skiied with me that day. We had fun in the morning. While Kaleigh was teaching the group how to snowboard, Michael and I got several runs in all over the regular mountain. I didn't ski Mary Jane in the afternoon because I got separated from Kaleigh and Michael.

As much as I am going to miss the winter, I am really happy it is finally spring! There are flowers blooming all over campus. Every day that it is nice out, I am having an increasingly hard time being indoors to work or do schoolwork. Later this week, my spring fever will really kick in because I am getting my hair done! I am putting a ton of blonde in it! Yay! I am soooo excited! I have never had a whole lot of blonde in my hair... I have had highlights before, but not the whole top of my head. I am planning on leaving brown underneath, and only putting blonde on top! I am kinda nervous about it... but I know it will be a good change! Gotta love those tax returns!

Anyway, I should really get back to my reading. I have a lot of it for my various papers and projects.

Signing off!
