Ski Season

Ski season is well underway. Prior to returning to Kansas City for Christmas and New Years, Leysin and the surrounding ski resorts got dumped on with about 2.5 feet of snow. Before even leaving for break I got eight days on the slopes. The best thing about my school/job is that we have ski term. For two months (mid-Jan to mid-March) every Tuesday and Thursday school ends at noon and everyone has to go ski. Yes, that's right, I'm required to ski twice a week for two months. Ski term is great! I even purchased another pair of skis for when we get fresh powder.

Here's a quick video from before break. My friend (coworker) Ethan provided the silly commentary.

Second semester flies by here. Before I know it I'll be back in Kansas City for a week (end of March) for my buddy's wedding and in early May I'll again be taking a group of students surfing in Portugal. These are the things that I have to look forward too this semester :)

As mentioned above, I went home for Christmas break. This was my first Christmas home in four years, and I think it had been nearly eight years since my whole family was together for Christmas. Coming home for the holidays was much different than coming home for summer. It made me miss home a lot more! Being back home was refreshing. Spending time with my family and friends was good for my mind and soul.
