Back in Portland

We are right into week 3 of our 2nd quarter and things are moving along quickly. The first week of classes were an experience that's for sure. We had four of our finals to finish off which were squeezed into our already busy schedule. In the end it wasn't all that bad and nice to get over with. Many of the other quarter students had two weeks of exams so I have nothing to complain about. Since then I have been busy trying to get into a routine of workouts and studying but I have yet to perfect this and seem to be all over the place.

Talking about working out I have started to go XC skiing again. The last time I was on skis really was probably grade 9 so it has been a while thats for sure. It is crazy to think my brothers are national level XC ski racers and I haven't been on skis since grade 9, Oh well. Over break I went once to Canmore and have gone a couple times by Mt Hood here in Oregon. The first day at Mt Hood we went around Trillium Lake, I fell a few times going down the first big hill and still have a few good bruises. I am blaming it on the boots being too big. The week after a group of us headed up to Teacup Nordic Center for a nice ski! It was such a beautiful day and we had a great day out on the snow!

I am hoping to go up a couple times again this weekend, but this all depends on how I am feeling as I feel a cold coming on. (Cy has put the perma sick spell on me I am sure). I am taking all the oil of oregano, hot drinks and vitamin C that I can handle so hopefully I get past this.
