This past Sunday I attempted snowboarding for the first time in my life. Suffice to say I no longer have knees. Well, they are in bad shape. My left knee is completely covered in multi-colored bruises, and my right knee is swelling up to the size of a ping pong ball. I blame the snow at the resort for this. There was no real snow AT ALL. Only mad made snow, which was really just small chunks of ice. Every time I fell, I either hit solid ice or deep, wet ice. And, since this was my first day snowboarding EVER, I fell one hell of a lot. I didn't really accomplish anything, either. I cannot toe-side or heel-side turn, and I cannot stop (without falling ). I'm supposed to go to a ski hill with my friends after Christmas, so we'll see how that shapes up. SPEAKING OF CHRISTMAS...
