the ski resort

none of this never really happened except for the taking lessons part. //12am i'll finish this later within a few days

todays the day. the day i learn snowboarding. the day i've dreaded for two weeks as last weeks school trip got cancelled. ms. de said itd be like learning a new song on guitar thats hard, she was pretty much very wrong.

mount shasta ski resort and lodge or something like that. quaint little place, not the biggest resort in the world but pretty good. the only ski place i've ever been to and apparently mt ashlyn is bigger, but to my young eyes, i didnt think anything could be bigger. i rode in the car with chase ms de and her husband, bob. bobs a nice guy, quiet for the most part. hes average height and precise with everything. ms. de said something about that the day before. chase is a different story. hes is all around awesome; the nicest guy youll ever meet. hes got dirty blond hair and a laugh that makes you smile along with him. plays guitar same as me, hes been doing it a lot longer, but im almost advanced to his point. ms. de has a voice that carries. shes italian and from new york, so no suprise. steryotypical i know, but totally true. she isnt scared to say anything to anyone at any time. but as far as teachers go, i could not ask for a better one.

6:45 am. really? 6:45 am i was awake and tired and this and that. i wanted to go back to bed but if i did i'd never forgive myself for letting the one teacher that made a difference in my life down. besides, i needed something to get my mind off of dani, my new exgirlfriend. her mom never knew about me and it was a bad thing to hide. she found out about me from a friend of mine that dani was talking to and im banned from speaking to her for a long time. i decided the not speaking and breaking up part, and it was the worst mistake i'll ever make in my life. untill later on on today.

the car ride was great, i had a friend to talk to, two old dinosaurs to make fun of, and a bottle of sunnyd. life was set for me. i could wait to get to mt shasta. i've only moved to seiad valley last feburary and i have been to shasta before, but this time i knew itd be a visit that i'd never like to recall.

we reached the resort and exited the car. no one told me where to get my snow pants on but everyone else was getting ready in the parking lot so i just asummed. i took my snow boots out of the truck and took my worn out osrises off. is jaywreck were to see my shoes hed tell me im a disgrace. but my pants went on first.

"too tight for you coby?" a classmate and friend, natalie sassed.

"oh shut up, i just need to pull them up more." i had tried to zip them before i had them all the way up. silly of me to do, but i was new to this, whatd she expect?

"look at my ugly boots," justin, who rode with jeffery kywaner's mom: erica, and james simmons, spoke at me. i laughed in agreement.

i looked at the water proof gloves that my mom made me take even though i complained that i didnt need them over and over again. i could just use my regular gloves, they were furry from the cats playing with them, but they were still useful to me.

i got out the jacket that i also didnt want to take, but it was my only resort. i wanted to take the sean john sweater my sister let me borrow. yes, a guy was actually wanting to take his sisters jacket instead of anything else. light, dark, and navy blue, it was a great jacket that didnt have anything wrong with it. but no. its not water proof so i cant bring it. anyways, i put on my coat over the suspenders of my pants. everyone else was walking down twards the lodge so i followed in spite of not wanting to get lost.

down at the resort, ms. de was giving out the passes that said what lesson we'd take or if we didnt need one or not. she asked andrew stone to help me with mine because i didnt know what to do with it. he put it on backwards, but it didnt matter, i'd only need it seen twice the while time.

we went inside the check out in alphabetical order and by whether we were skiing or snowboarding. i was last of the three snowboarders. i received all my gear and followed natalie, who had been there once before and was guiding jeffery who was also a beginner, and me.
