I don't know what it is but the past month or two I have just been extremely self motivated. This time last year I had like straight C's and D's and was super depressed and now my grades are mostly A's and I scored a 32 on the practice ACT!! It's helps that the people I've been hanging out with are super well rounded. I see how well they are doing and it pushes me to live up to my full potential. Also, it's a strange feeling not even really thinking about skiing. I will probably barely even get out this season and only one of the hills I go to is barely open, fuck global warming. I cannot even fathom how some people could care less about the environment or think its bullshit. It sucks when some of us are willing to make a bunch of changes about our lives to stay withing the two degree goal.
the downside is avy danger is the highest its been in a long long time. The Utah avy center keeps posting tons of stuff. Its so bad you can literally watch shit come down the mtn as youre just looking up at peaks and shit, some crazy vids out there of some of the neighboring peaks in the SLC/Utah valley with huge dust clouds from slides.
Granite_StateWorking today. Enjoying christmas day with part of the fam then driving home so I can be at work at 645am the day after christmas. Love it.
I feel this.
Tomorrow and sunday are the only days I have off for the next like 8 days. Been working maaaaad hours these last few weeks.
Spending a week in utah right after new years tho so that'll be a much needed and appreciated break.
Can't wait to get the Church ceremony over and done with tonight so I can just go and lounge, eat, and drink. My family drags me to it every year, even though I think going to it actually drives me into being a bigger heathen than I already was. With that, part of the ceremony involves everyone in the church getting a candle and them shutting the lights off, then they sing traditional Christmas carols by candlelight. Sounds cool in theory and it kind of is, but you have to consider that most of the crowd there is 70+ with really shaky hands... I think as long as I'm not sat beside a geezer whipping a stick of flame around I'll make it out alright.

Just saying I called this... I posted in the thread below in October about how early season UT snow is going to completely fuck the BC up and lo and behold guess what it has.
It's not that bad though, we are going through a natural avy cycle as do all mountains when they get a lot of snow. It's exacerbated by the fact it's still early season and our November snow has become completely faceted (which is the exact reason we don't want snow in early November).
ANDR01DI've been wooing the cutest woman on the planet and it's totally working. Feels nice not to be my typical jaded self when it comes to dating :).
Yep Im finally talking to a cute girl, just trying to not say stupid shit. Hopefully I can work shit out over vacation.

I get to work a 16 hour day tomorrow. Merry fucking Christmas.
As much as I love my job and the things that we are doing, I don't know if I can stay in Buffalo the rest of undergrad. My job is the only reason I've stayed, but I think I'm going to apply to some out of state schools and see what happens...
oh man, all our dogs are loving the snow in the backyard. they get tired out from getting pitted they just chill out and wait a few, then go rip it up some more.

Saw your snap story, made me laugh. Thats awesome haha
I work in a terrain park and need new boots so badly. My shins are in the worst shape theyve ever been in, the left one almost bled. Anyone got a proform or old full tilts/raichles they wanna sell me? I dont have the money for new boots :(
I'm not sure if I was just meant to be pulled over or not.
So I pulled out of the grocery store parking lot. I'm driving exactly 40kmh (speed limit). Not swerving. Day time so lights are off. 2 cars come out behind me.
I keep driving. Then a police car pulls up behind the other 2 cars with its lights on and saying something over the loud speaker. There is a no stopping sign, so I just keep driving looking behind me to see if either of the other 2 cars pull out of the way or what.
So I just keep on driving. I stop at both railroad crossings. I stop at the red light. One of the cars turns, still one behind me. I keep on going. I drive all the way back to the village with a cop behind me, lights on saying something over the loud speaker. Finally he hits a red light, I keep going. I get like 2 blocks further up and I see him again with his lights on blaring something over the loud speaker. He turns to follow me, I park for a moment. I don't see him so I continue up the mountain as quickly as possible looking over to see if he is following me. No follow.... sooooo ummm... I'm not sure if I was meant to pull over or not.
I googled, apparently it's normal to drive around with their lights on, the loudspeaker means you're supposed to pull over, sirens mean get out of the way. The car in front of me didn't pull over. Was I supposed to?
Mystery. I think I will just find the nearest parking lot if I see one of them again.
