Last two weekends have been pretty busy, pretty fun!
On the Chinese New Year/Valentine's Weekend, we joined the outdoor excursion and went to Yosemite National Park. At there, I had my first encounter of touching snow, snowshoeing. Surprisingly, we are the only few undergraduates in the group. The rest of them are PHD students and so. It is a pretty diverse group, with 2 spaniards, 1 hawaians, 4 Asians, 1 Indian, 1 Sri Lankan and 3 Whites. Again, I tried ice skating, and I still didnt manage to get it right. This time round, almost everyone in the team trying to teach me how to iceskate. But still, I cant get it. Forget it. I should stick to Snowboarding which is way more fun.
Talking about our room in Yosemite reminds me of the Vent of the heater. The upper level of the bunk bed was built so near to the vent that KeXin felt that she is "roasted" at night. They really should have a better quality check before putting all these bed in use. I say this, because, the same thing happens in our second trip at Big Bear Mountain too.
After the Yosemite weekend, we went to Big Bear Mountain for snowboarding with OE again. This time round, it is a much younger group. I couldnt tell you how fun was snowboarding. I am totally loving it. We started up with lesson which teached us basic technique and how to fall safely on your butt (this is probably the most useful skill). I wouldnt say the lesson was good as I didnt learn much. After lunch, we went to try out snowboarding by ourselves. That is where I start to get better in snowboarding. It feels so good standing on the board and sliding down from the slope. WOOHOOO! Snowboarding is probably the second favourite sports now (of course, I still love tennis most!).
It is sad that this quarter is ending soon. Kexin, Zhenzhou, Daryl are flying back to Singapore soon. I bet there wont be so much fun after this. Haiz.
