So the slow season is officially here and because of that I can already see the difference in the work hours. My part time job only has me working about 12-20 hours a week and because of that we have made a last minute decision to go somewhere and have some fun. At first I thought Disney would be a fun time but ultimately the prices have gone up and to do Disney and Universal it would cost around $1,000 to do both and that’s just for tickets. I mean really, that’s just too much to ask from anybody. What a sad thing it is for something that used to be reasonable to be a ridiculous price years later. 

In any case we scratched the idea of Disney and decided that skiing would be a more interesting thing to consider. After all I had never been skiing and my Dad hadn’t been for years. We had tried to go the year before but we were a month late and it got warm before I intended trip. Without much thought we decided to go ahead and plan a trip to Gatlinburg to do some skiing and snowboarding. The fun is that I have to attend an hour class to learn how to snowboard. I’m sure that it will be quite an insight but I honestly am really excited to give this new sport a try. 

Who knows, maybe I will be good at it. 

Of course I am really excited to just get away from home for a while. When I stay still for too long I get antsy and irritable. I become someone who is bored, tired, and just fidgety. Anything I do is hard to concentrate on and I really do find that most things are a chore. 

Now that will be cured when we go on our short vacation away from home. Not only that but its something new and exciting for me to do. 

What about you guys? Do you enjoy skiing or snowboarding?
