Spring

The best part of my springbreak was traveling across the seven seas to Vancouver British Columbia. All of my relatives are atleast six years older then me. During the day i went skiing at whistler, waking up at 6:30am was challenging enough over the longest weekend but i was given the opportunity to drive up to whistler in a Tesla P85D. Coffee was no longer needed as going from 0-100km/h in 3.2 seconds spared my need for caffeine. The drive from West Vancover to Whistler takes about an two hours but we managed it in an hour and ten minuets. We arrived at creek side where we bought are back country access passes. It only allows us to use each chairlift once but it doesn't matter since we will be out of bounds for most of the day. After an hour of gonadal rides and lift lines we were standing at the entrance to the national park. This was no daily adventure, we were attempting to complete the spear head traverse in one day. A brutal 70km traverse that starts on whistler mountain, loops around fissile peak and then dumps you on blackcomb. Because we are on skis we can complete such a walk in about 12 hours but we must traverse glaciers which takes a significant amount of time to do so safely. 35km in and 7 hours later we had made it past the last glacier traverse and we were now starting to come around fissile summit from here is was mostly flat or downhill. Fissle mountain was incredible, it looked like a knife cutting into the ski. It was covered in glaciers and steep cliff faces with over hanging Serac's. Slowly but surely we made it to the top of backcomb blow. It was 5:00 pm and we had been gone for 13 hours. The sun was coming down just infront of us where is lit the infamous out of bounds run called the corona with a pink after glow. Although this was a real treat to ski through we were tired and ready to go home so we did not dwell for very long. This was easily the highlight of my spring break

Favroit thing this year

My favorite thing that we did in English this year was the projects on the Kings Speech and V for Vendetta. Both movies I used many times as sources or evidence for essay righting and I defiantly wouldn't have been able to get through the year without them. They were both exceptionally easy to right about and were very thought provoking making them entertaining movies that you actually want to watch. Mice and Men was also a fun book to read, it was incredibly frustrating watching how avoidable the situations that Lennie and George faced but it draws you in and is also a great source of evidence for essay righting. Another thing i enjoyed this year was root beer pong, it was defiantly for sure my first time playing the game beer pong but how it was Incorporated into are assignments was really funny and interesting. We should defiantly do the same next year.

My News Years Resolution



My New Years resolution is to not have a new years resolution. Why would I need a new years resolution? I don't mean to sound self centered but I am perfect and I don't need to change. January is the month that everybody tries as hard as they can to make a change in their life. Whether it is starting a diet or a weekly workout routine, it is the month when the gyms packed and fast food restaurants are in the red. However I don't need to start hitting up the gym because I have a naturally perfect physique. Oddly enough I am skinny and tall, my diet consists of trans fats and fun. No matter what I eat and how much of it I don't gain weight thus I don't need to hit that gym up because isn't the point of going to the gym is to lose weight? Yesterday I told someone about my Lack of New years resolution, they laughed and I didn't, He realized I wasn't joking and told me something that will stick with me for all of next week "Sir, your cup is full." I didn't really understand what he meant when he said this but it seems heavy and important so I thought I should include it. My genius has built quite a reputation, today I was asked if a set of all sets contain itself?  I confidently answered yes. I am don’t know why he asked me this but I think it had a strange consulted point. Anyways today My English teach told me that I couldn’t have less than 300 words on my assignment. This challenge of my superiority was not taken lightly thus I tried as hard as could to have less than 300 words and still pass.

favorite winter holiday memory?

Once every few years we drive up to Vancouver for one week to spend christmas with the entire family, a 14 hour trip in a small car for with 5 other people makes anyone question why they decided to vist there distant family but the second we step inside the familiar and beautiful home we are greeted with hugs and similes from familiar faceless and we instantly forget the horrors we encountered on the car ride up. My aunts are cooking in the kitchen and the smell of turkey and stuffing fills the air. According to are families tradition the youngest has to say grace something that i have fortunately avoided most of my life, Grace is something that takes place at everyones table but as soon as it starts we all just want it to end so that we can start eating. The room is filled with stuffed faces and laughter as stories are being told and food is being eaten. This meal makes the drive worth it and reminds us how much we love are relatives. the next day we get up extra early, as i eat my breakfast with tired eyes we prepare to go to whistler for the rest of the holiday to do one big family ski vacation. Well me and my brothers and relatives explore the huge mountain, my aunts and uncles explore the village. We meet up at the end of the day tired from skiing or shopping to head to the nearest restaurant that we think can handle all 15 of us. We don't go toVancouver to spend time with the rest of the family often but when we do it is always memorable and is always my favorite way to spend the christmas holidays because nothing is better then eating to much and spending time with your family and friends.
