Hello dudes and dudettes!
Just like last year I am going skiing! This year I'm not going with the youth-club-thing-a-ling, but I'm going with my parents like I used to. This time is different though.. This time I am dragging my boyfriend along with me!
Ahh, yes. My poor, lovely boyfriend is being voluntarily dragged with me and my parents to Austria to try skiing for the first time. Needles to say, I am so flipping excited I can barely handle it! We're driving to Austria ourselves in our volvo, and another difference from 3 year ago - this time we're 4 people to take turns to drive, so it's not just my mother and father who's responsible for the driving. I am also quiiiite excited for that part of it, as I haven't been driving on the German autobahn (motorway) during the night, and with the parts of the autobahn with no speed limit (yup, that's a thing in Germany.. No speed limits on some of das autobahn, you can look it up if you don't believe me), it can very hard to "read" the upcoming cars from behind, when the only thing you can see is the car's headlights.
As mentioned, my boyfriend has never tried skiing before, and I am so excited to show him everything wonderful about skiing and amazing winter wonderland that is Austria in the winter. Skiing is literally one of the only sports I'm good at! And I'm serious here - I can't think of any sport aside from skiing that I'm actually good at, I'm just one of those people who are just extremely uncoordinated with a ball, a bat of any kind or hurdles or anything. I'm just very uncoordinated, but skiing is my secret power. So as my boyfriend hasn't tried it before, or have seen me on skies, I am SO looking forward to showing him a sport that I'm actually good at.
"Secretly" I'm also looking forward to see him flip and flop a bit around on these giant skies with limited amount of movement. I can't wait. Of course I'm not going to be a mean and evil stunt-on-skies-for-the-first-time-filming-girlfriend all the time.. Just for some time the first day ;-) I have kind of promised some of our friends that I would film him a bit, and honestly who am I to deny the wishes of the masses ;-)
We are going to live in a apartment the four of us, my parents in one bedroom, and my boyfriend and I in another. There's a kitchen, a living room with TV, two toilets and a bath and wifi in the apartment - it is going to be a blast! Of course we are going to be spending as much time as possible out on the slope, but having a nice apartment to come home to is certainly not a bad thing. The area we will be skiing in is called Zauchensee, and there's currently over a metre of snow in the city itself located at 1350 meters hight. I've been there two times before, so I know the area quite well by now.
I am so stoked to go - and we're driving tonight! Before I can go I need to do a few things first. Among those things; finding clothes/equipment, packing aaaaaaand handing in a 7 hour English assignment. Preferably done in 3 hours. Damn. I'm not quite sure how amazing that assignment is going to be, I am dreading it a bit - I hate writing essays last minute, but I've had two assignments (chemistry and maths, 4-5 hours each) this last week, which has drained a lot of my energy, so I don't have a lot of it for writing this damn English essay. One could argue that I choose English on A level myself, and yes I did, but 15-17 hours of assignments in one week would be tough on anyone. But I just have to get it done, so I can relax and focus on the oncoming vacation - phew..
So I just need to breath, relax and get my assignment done so I can go on this awesome vacation! I hope the wifi in the apartment is good enough for me to maybe upload some pictures, and I hope the weather is going to be great! Ah, I am just so excited! (And I'm secretly hoping not to break a leg or any other body part!)
