All Work, Little Play.

Holy moly! I feel as though I have been working non stop this past week. I can't even comprehend that I've been in Canada for only 3 weeks, it's madness. My job is really great, but it's making my time here fly by and has resulted in me having very little time to snowboard.

I've had one lesson so far, with my flatmate Caitlin. We are both as terrible as each other so it was a very useful lesson. Although, Caitlin did fall a little bit in love with our instructor so it may not have been as beneficial for her. 

When we first started out it felt like the weirdest thing ever, we could barely even stand up with our boards strapped to one foot, let alone both feet. But by the end of it we were absolute pros. To an extent. We could go down the hill with minimal difficulty, and that was enough for us. The next day was a touch rough on the body though. Since then I haven't had much of an opportunity to go again - I was made to work on my day off - so I'm slightly worried that I will have forgotten everything and just fall on my face a million times. Ah well.

In other news, we went to an ice hockey game the other night! It was just a low league game at the local rink in Invermere, but it was super fun. 20 bucks got us a bus ride, ticket and drink, and it was totally worth it. There about five fights, a few falls, and countless wall smashes. Even one of the refs, who was not young, got rammed into the wall. He recovered fairly well though, later doing a pretty sweet jump. A couple of the guys who came with us added to the entertainment but doing some pretty spectacular heckling during the game, it was mainly towards the players with four letter names they could actually pronounce, but it was still pretty hilarious.

Other than that, I'm basically just having a great time hanging out with my flatmates (even the Aussie ones) and the other cool kids around the resort.

Ok. Cool.
