right now i'm kind of pissed off because my computer in my room is being all retarded... the internet isn't working on it, the colors are all fucked up, and everything on the screen is bigger than it should be. also, when i try to restart it, sometimes it does it twice automatically which is really annoying... i think it's some computer virus which is really annoying. also i'm annoyed because my cat is sitting on my lap and she keeps biting my chin every few seconds... but now she's not... other than that, it's been a great day.

i went on the ski trip to grand geneva and it was so much fun! i like grand geneva better than wilmot... i think... it seems more challenging to me at least... though i've only been skiing twice. also, the ski rental goes so much faster than at wilmot. i was only waiting for like 10 minutes at the most. at wilmot, it felt like i was waiting for hours and it was such a waste of time that i didn't get to do a lot of stuff. i also didn't take any ski class because i knew i wouldn't need one. after i got my skis and everything i went to find jackie, alyssa, jen, sasha, and ian at the terrain park. i wasn't sure where they were so i tried going up this one chair lift and went down this slope that seemed scary at the time but it probably just felt that way cuz i was still adjusting. then i went on another chair lift and i saw jackie calling me. then i went in the terrain park. we went down the easy way. we took this side path and then cut through the middle and dodged the jumps.
after that, we went to another slope that seemed really steep at first. after going down it the first time, it was a lot of fun. then we went down this other slope that was in a harder terrain park which would be impossible for me to go through but there was a path that went through the middle that had no jumps or nething. so i went through there. after going down that a few times, we had lunch. after lunch, we went back the that slope that looked steep but wasn't really. then we went back to the terrain park. i did the same thing that i did before except, i started from the slope that was really high up. i was really scared at first but then i saw that it wasn't that far from the ground so i just slid off and went to the bottom without going over any jumps. after doing that a few times, i saw jackie trying a jump when i was going up again on the chair lift. she fell, but i felt like trying it myself. i tried it thinking that i wouldn't actually go up in the air unless i tried. so i just went over the jump thinking it would be like going over a hill, but then i realized that i was in the air. it felt weird. so then i didn't know what to do and before i had time to figure it out, i was already on my back at the bottom of the jump. it didn't hurt at all. it was so much fun. i did it a secon time after chickening out a few times and the same thing happened except everybody saw it. they were like, "woah! awesome wipe-out! and air!" it was funny because i wasn't even really trying. i was just being risky i guess. my thoughts are just that falling on snow when ur trying to do something hard doesn't hurt at all compared to falling on ice when you land a jump or do something else the wrong way. so that just encourages me to try what's available and looks possible. for example, that other terrain park i was talking about would not be possible for me unless i went skiing much more often.
