Bruised

…that hurt. Bf and I went to ski liberty for a round of snowboarding. I was horrible. It took me half an hour to get down the bunny slope because I had difficulty staying up and learning to stop.  Actually I had the hardest time getting on my feet. Everytime I tried to jump up, I would fall back down or start sliding down the hill before I was ready and hit the ground. Half way down the slope I almost unclipped and walked down to switch to skis. Skiing was wayyyy easier. There were these two 4/5 yr olds that would hold hands speeding down the hill on these ski blades..I swear they passed me at least 3 times… it hurt my ego. lol.  After the half hour of slipping and crawling down the slope, I was already so sore, so I went inside to take a break while the bf went on the bigger slopes for a while. By the time he came back I was willing to try once more. It was chillier the second time around but I was plenty warm. Unfortunately, all my falls made my lower back wet and cold…so that was uncomfortable for a while. Luckily my roomie lent me her underarmor that I can’t afford, so it’s all good. I might invest in one of those cuz they’re really warm, but they’re just so expensive. By the time I got to the end of the slope I had improved from my lack of movement. I was able to slide down slowly and stop most of the time without falling. What I couldn’t do was turn to the right. Everytime I made an attempt to turn right, I would end up doing a switch or w/e its called and pretty much go backwards until I freaked out and fell. The continuous movement towards the left would leave me heading towards ditches and I would have to fall and crawl over to the right so I could start over.My knees and butt were bruised and my arms and upper back hurt for days…but as rough as it was, and as much pain I endured in the past couple of days, I think I’d be willing to go again. I’m determined to get this right… But with the way the weather’s been acting, I might have to wait till next year.
