i have such a headache right now. actually, i've sort of had one since last friday ever since i went snowboarding. i think i gave myself a concussion, but i'm not really sure. i've got a huge bump on the back of my neck and the top left part of my brain has been throbbing. i did have a rough landing on my head on one of my many crashes that day. the inside of my right leg next to my knee hurts to move at all. and today started another pain on my left triceps. on a lighter note, i think i improved this last friday by many times over. all of a sudden, going backwards just clicked in my head and legs. now i can somewhat slalom back and forth. my only problem is that i'm starting to go really fast now, which freaks the hell out of me so i basically just crash. also, have a tough time going between toe- and heel-side and vice versa. the split second when the board is exactly straight on is a scary point for me right now. however, i was happy to see that there was some improvement over the last time.
park city is amazing. they only have a fraction of the lifts and runs open, but even from the little they had, it was so much better than brighton. i ate at a freaking restaurant that i had to take two lifts to get to called the summit house. sooooo dang good. felt really special eating there cuz i was part of all the rich baby booming business peeps up there for the day. seemed like it hadn't snowed in weeks since everything was packed down. made for a mean fall every time i crashed. but i had a blast. even made it back to orem in time for my 3 o'clock class.
my next big "to do" for the week is the paper for constitution. i really should be working on it now, but with my headache and the fact that my work just got cable tv, i'm finding it more difficult to do this paper than it would for me to win a gold metal in snowboarding. hopefully jessIE is having better luck.
was over at brian and jAx's place last night. B gave me a copy of his blackjack game to put on my comp. i'm on the $1 minimum tables and already up $60 after playing for like less than 30 minutes. i think some time in january or february, i'll take up one of my paychecks and head to vegas with kim to blow it all to test the strategy. if we don't go to aruba this year, nevada better make way.
bought my first thing of southern comfort egg nog yesterday. if i had some real southern comfort i probably could have made it last a little longer than one day. or maybe not actually. but at least my time at work here would have been a little more enjoyable.
got to turn in the family law exam last thursday. from what i heard, exams ranged from 11 pages from the law firm's fifth member, to a mighty 47 pages from the rich girls. and from the sounds of it when we were going over the questions, i'm very confident that i'll be getting above a 90% on it. that would probably make my semester cuz that would guarantee my grade in the class!
football this weekend wasn't too eventful, or shall i say, surprising. colorado looked like standley lake high school playing against the big O. not to knock on CU, but more knocking on the north div of the big 12. there are couple big named teams in the north, but if the best they got against south's numero uno is a lousy field goal then that sucks. valiant effort against them, but what can you do? looks like utah will go up against pitt. not going to be the most exciting game since pittsburgh isn't in the bcs top ten. wait, not even in the top twenty? okay then. there go the chances of utah being put the test on a national level. sadly, they won't be able to prove themselves in the fiesta to push them up as a big name team now. however, next season they will still have nowhere to go but down. with their coach heading to florida now, this last season will soon become a memorable season that most likely won't be relived. oh well, you go where the money is.
oh, and i officially own a snowboard now. my early christmas present was given to me by kim. thank to you to the lloyds for being my official sponsors. 2006 special winter olympics, here i come!
