imagine that you're zooming down a slope on skiis and then your left leg hits a drop and wham you're in the snow lying on your side and you can't stop laughing. that's mountain school. quite simply, i love it. every aspect of it. supposedly this is the first term when little piglets will be born so it should be cool to see that. what else... oh the llama, se llama Nigel, he's awesome. the sheep are pretty cool too, but not as cool as the chickens who peck at the little bits of snow on the tip of your boots. and nothing is as awesome, so far as a sunrise from garden hill. it's impossible to explain. our language doesn't support moments like that. i'm fine. i don't wear too many layers, so people here think i'm crazy. every day is a workout, so i think i'll be pretty strong by the end of this. i'll be sending pictures soon. oh and anna had our math teacher take a picture of all the exeter kids(emma, anna, and i) and i just wanted to say that, against my suggestion, we were looking into the sun, so don't think we're like drugged or anything. nothing is negative out here. what a suprising and very welcomed change in atmosphere.
