Back at Loo

well, actually i've been back for a week, now. havent really been keeping up with blogging, really busy with classes, stupid wtr, and just basically settling back into school mode. went on my ski trip with darrick this weekend! it was great! im really a chicken, idunno, im just so scared that i'll break something, and i need more confidence going down the hills. darrick was really patient with me though, :), and we both had a lot of fun.

we stayed at the village lodges, and went night skiing on saturday night. i scared driving so far in the dark, everything was just black and deserted, and i should have gotten better directions. but we got there alright, with the help of a trusty ontario map. darrick said he should have gotten the gps software thingy, that basically you put on your laoptop and it just navigates for you and talks to you too. unfortunately, navigating is not one of my fortes...

sking was fun, we went down the beginners ones only, but the one we ended going on the most was pretty high up and long. i dont like the lift ride much, its so jolty and i feel like i might just fall out! the lodge itself was really nice, i wish i took a picture of it before we messed it up... lol it was really nice to just spend time with my darrick without school, worries, etc...

coming back was also a little scary. since we got the bed and breakfast pkg, we just left shortly after breakfast so that we would get home earlier and darrick could finish his wtr! we HATE highway 19, its everywhere, it seemed that we passed by a high way 19 almost 5 times!!! anywa, we were trying to turn around cuz we got to a more deserted residential road, and practially slid sideways into someone's driveway. the driveways there are reallllllly long and some can be pretty steep. this one wasnt even that steep! anyway, justin's poor neon, went down to the bottem and couldnt get back up. we were stuck! o, and did i mention that there were NO TRESPASSING signs nailed on the trees next to the driveway entrance? we didnt mean to trespsass, it just happened, the guy wasnt too happy (to say the least) and left us there as he roared off in his truck! anyhow, darrick tried pushing, but all that was happening, since there was at least a 2 inch layer of ice/snow underneath, the car just kept sliding, and melting the snow, and the snow just kept freezing back into ice.

so, darrick told me to see if i could get anyone to stop and help us out. i waved to a pontiac hatchback, with 3 guys in it, explained the situation and asked if they could help push us out. and they did, and it worked, and we were off and on our way home again. my timmies coupons were put to good use, their fruit yogurt is pretty good! much better than mcdonalds. i had to get new eyeliner on my way back, cuz my old one was gunky, so we stopped at conestoga mall, and i got a new pair of runners! a pair of kool looking sketchers for only $40!

got home, took a nap, cooked some beans, and didnt do ANY work all night! now i gtg buy some books, and continue cracking down on my work term report!!!

it was a great trip, and pics are posted in my msn space! i wanna go back again for reading week with more people! thanks again for the car, justin!

ps. i originally started this blog so that i could keep in touch with my friends , and family that i didnt get to see as much. it really helped me update little things that happened in my life, especially to darrick since he was in cali. i find it quite therapeutic and calming, and helps me "record" events, so i can look back on it. im going to keep updating it, as best as i can, perhaps not as frequently, cuz i really do enjoy writing. besides, my english needs a lot of brushing up! lol....
