Photo Gallery Today I did snowboarding and it was really fun. The best thing was the free time snowboarding. :)
We are up early on day two, ready to go! Everyone is very excited for our big day of ski and snowboarding lessons. The kids have had many learning experiences already, like how to get other people to stop singing on the bus and how to put your goggles and gloves on. They are having a great time bonding and learning how to be more independent. Stay posted for many pictures and stories from today.
When I woke up today, it was still 5 am. A lot of the girls around me were chatting. People waved to me from their bunks. Hark and I chatted, because everyone else was watching TV. We tried to go to sleep for 2 more hours, but it was not possible. I stared at the ceiling for a long time, until everyone woke up. We got dressed, and got ready for breakfast. It was buffet-style. It was delicious!!!!!!
We then was lead to a room, where we were handed out pairs of skis, poles, and boots. The boots were soooo uncomfortable. I could barely move my feet, it was so stiff! One if the instructors told me to bring a hat, so I had to CLIMB up the stairs and the ladder to my bunk, then I waddled back to the group. Just when I got in, everyone was been handed a helmet. I was puzzled, and asked the instructors if I really needed a hat. They said that they changed their minds about only wearing a hat, and they were passing out helmets. I was so shocked, but got a helmet. We went outside to finally start skiing, We parted into groups by levels. Our instructor was Mr. Yuji, and I had Mio, Ruri, Shuei, Yuta, Taro and Darren. We were in the beginner group. We started on a flat surface and learned the basic things. I was really bad at stopping. I kept on falling down the hill when I was trying to go up! We had lunch after that, and it was curry. I loved it! After lunch, our group went to our first hill, without our poles. When I first got onto the lift, I was so scared that I was going to fall. I survived, and got to the end safely. Our instructor helped us with getting ready, and we slid down an actual hill for the first time. I was so scared in the beginning, but I loved at the end. I didn't want it to end. After a few slides later, it was time to end. Next, we went for dinner. We had lots of different meat, and lots of other things. My favorite thing was the soup. It had macaroni in it! Later on, we had a campfire. We sang around in a circle, and laughed a lot. The instructors brought out the sleds and we started to fly down the hill. A lot of the adults were pushing us down really hard or turning us backwards. I had ssssoooo much fun! We then got ready to go to then onsen, and Mrs. Roberts told us that if we are back from the bath by 8:45, then we can have a monitored pillow fight. We rushed out and packed up our things, really fast, excited for the fight. We slammed each other with our pillows, and ran away! It was so great! We got ready for the next day, since we are going home then, :(, and relaxed. Good night! Today was another fun day. I woke up at about 5 am. I think every girl was awake. Everyone was chatting, and we tried to go back to sleep because we were suppose to wake up at 7:30, but we could not go back to sleep. Some people were chatting, and some people were trying to sleep, so they had curtains over their beds. Me and Anna were chatting, since we were bunk-mates. It was fun chatting with her. Anna chat's a lot. (Warning!!!) After a long time, it was time to eat breakfast. And it was a buffet!!!! It was really good. And straight after lunch, we FINALLY WENT SKIING!!! We got instructors. I was in the intermediate group, and I was with Clarys, YoonJi, Luna, Kako, Yuki, and Fernando and Mr.Haigh. Our instructor was Mr.Masa Takano. He was very nice, and in my first ski hill, he helped me a lot. I was really scared at that hill, and I thought I was going to die. But I finished it, and I was proud. For the second one, I wasn't as scared. I went down good, and for the rest of the ski time, it was awesome and I had lots of fun. The lunch was good, and the rest of the day was awesome!! At the end, we got to ski freely, and me, Anna, and Mio went down the hill together. It was really fun. At the night time, we went to a camp fire, and it was really cool to see the fire. We played a few games with Jeff, Mike and Kozue, Toshi and our St.Maur teachers. After we played and sang, we went sledding again!! And it was more fun than yesterday!! Mr.Haigh spinned me down. It was awesome. It was an awesome day, and after the sledding, we went to the onsen. It was very relaxing. But the girls were in a hurry, because we wanted a pillow fight. And we actually did have a pillow fight!! It was really fun and we were hitting each other. Now, here I am, typing. Goodnight!!
Today morning,I wake up at 4:40 but nobody wakes up so sad. Finally Ruri wake up and we was trying to sleep again but it didn't work... So, I was playing byy self! Breakfast, it was really yummy!!! Afternoon,we was skiing it was really fun! And we meet our group teacher. Today was very fun!!! |
