s-n-o-w: snow!

So I decided to write my blog while I’m snowed in. If you guys think this snow is bad, puh-leez. I love the snow, except for when it is more than a foot. But anyways, this semester is going great so far. I love most of my classes, and I’m not behind in any of them! I’m in multivariable calculus right now, and that’s probably my hardest class this semester. It’s basically linear algebra, vector geometry, and calculus put all into one. I’m also in engineering 1114, and it’s great because I already know how to use inventor so I don’t have to teach myself anything new! I am actually a certified mechanical drafter, which is a big accomplishment that I’m proud of. We had to take a 3 hour test that had almost 400 questions on it. In order to become certified you had to get a 75% on it, or better. I took three years of drafting in high school, so I’m pretty ahead in the aspect of the engineering class.
So while everyone else is going outside to play in the snow, I’m stuck inside doing homework. I have something to do in every single class, and it’s not fun. Hopefully there will still be snow tomorrow so I can go out and play! It has been so long since I have been sledding, for some reason it isn’t as fun as it used to be when I was a kid. It’s truly sad. I really want to go skiing, too. I went over Christmas break, and it was great. The weather was really cold, but it was still fun because I hadn’t gone skiing in about 3 years. I love skiing and I miss it a lot. I remember the first time I went skiing in New York, where I used to live. I was so miserable but that’s because I was only 5 or so. I was really good at it too, which made me want to do it even more! I don’t go skiing that much, but it’s like a riding a bike; you never forgot how to do it. I really hope I can go more this winter, because I miss it.
Until next time,
Melissa

  2. I went skiing once...or some variation of the sport lol. I fell down a whole mountain...so I guess it doesnt qualify as skiing, but at least I didn't break anything :)
    I would never try it again but I would love to try snowboarding.

  3. multivariable calculus? inventor? certified mechanical drafter? you [and a lot of the rest of you guys] amaze me that you know about this stuff I can't even begin to know about... I feel like a freaking useless moron. I know nothing concrete... and the fact that you can function in English class just seems unfair! certified mechanical drafters should all be illiterate so I can feel better than them. :) Just kidding!! Kind of!!
