Usually I want to get out of the house away from school and do something fun. You know, get away from life.
However, I usually can't due to:
1. Time constraints
2. Friends won't go with me (due to lack of interest or unwillness to pay;and I don't want to be alone)
3. Parents won't let me.
Funny, I'm not a fan of snowboarding, but I have a group friends going and my parents are letting me. What the FUCK?!
You have to realize, I can't skateboard, I can't ride a scooter, I can't even rollerblade. (I can ride a bike) Oh, and I've never seen snow in my life. Also realize that I fear heights, cold, and loss of control. Snowboarding combines all three fears into one activity.
Basically I'm paying over $300 to freeze and scare the shit out of myself the next 2 days.
But I hope that all the cost and anxieties are worth it. I just want a vacation. I've wanted one for so long, but every time I make plans, something comes up. So I couldn't go to NY, or Taiwan, I couldn't even go to Universal's City Walk. But now I'm going to Mammoth Mountain (at least, that's the plan). The nice side (and the reason why I'm going) is that I now have a chance to get away from school, work, and the rest of my mundane life. I also like spending time with my close friend, we've been so busy with MCATs, school, and more school that it feels like forever since we've had a long conversation. Hopefully, after this trip, I won't feel like my life sucks so much. I won't feel like I just have school and work everyday; I won't feel so lonely; I won't feel so trapped. It should be fun, at least the hanging out with friends part.
Knowing how clumsy I am, I hope I don't get injured, or frozen, or hurt, or lost, or die (all of which Mammoth mountain won't be responsible for).
