I haven't given up on this. I was just lazy last quarter. However, so much has happened since my last post. I'm sure most of you know I'm playing hockey on the UCSD ice hockey team. That was most of my life outside of school last quarter and its quite fun (and sometimes painful too). My roommates are also great, which has made being at the house that much more enjoyable. I also turned 22 since my last post.
My Christmas break has been lots of fun so far. I've seen my family, gone out with friends... a lot, had some wine, had some more wine... that's been most of it. One highlight had to be the record-setting 13 hours of my life. Rachel and I successfully, meaning neither of us fell asleep, watch all 5 Harry Potter's in a row. We started around 3pm and finished close to 4am. According to IMDB it's 749 minutes for all five. There was only one brief food break too. Becca joined us for the third movie. Everyone else missed out. We even had a had a drinking theme (that we didnt drink to) for each movie.
The January Mammoth trip was also a good one this year. Though it ended up being just Katie and I who went, we had a great time. The drive up was good, and the first 2 days on the mountain were nice, even though the snow kinda sucked. But then Thursday night the blizzard rolled in. So, we had to put chains on in heavy snow (we tried the night before but it failed) and then we drove to the mountain to get some powder runs in. It was crazy up there. It was a blizzard for sure.. white out conditions with most of the mountain closed. On the drive home we were escorted down sherwin grade by a CHP and had the chains on until about 10-15 min before Bishop. Thankfully 395 wasn't closed. And when the snow stopped, it was rainy/windy the rest of the drive. It was fun.
