no. 34

Well, the first real snow of the season has arrived. There is a good two to three feet on the ground right now and last night it got down to -6 C. A few runs opened in the resort last weekend, but I think during the week they're just keeping them closed because there aren't any tourists here yet. That's okay, I still have to get my season ski pass... and find boots for my snowboard hah.
I'm really happy because I will not be spending my Christmas alone! Rosie and her mum invited me over to their place for Christmas. I'm really, really grateful for that. I'm so happy and excited about this! Even though I'll have to sleep in East Midlands airport on Christmas night... oh well! So worth it. I'm still going to miss my family back in Louisville so much, an incredible amount, really. But I really am so glad that I will not be spending it alone.
I'm starting to feel pretty detached with everything lately. I've also realized a lot about my plans in life. I'm terrified I will get back to the States and won't be able to find a job. I really hope that being over here is a good boost on my resume. I suppose it would have been better if I was fluent in Spanish, just because of how common that language is there. But I love French, so I'm glad.
I just realized that I am missing all of NCAA Men's Basketball. What a huge bummer. I hope someone here will want to do a bracket with me... or Jack can fill out my bracket at home for me.
And yet again, I have so much to say but I don't have the courage to do so.
