lets hit the slopes!

So i woke up this morning to about 6 inches of snow and it is still falling! Teachers had a hell of a time getting to school at all let alone on time. The mountains are so beautiful with the snow i cant wait to hit the ski slopes. *Later* This last weekend i didnt go skiing but i did some other great winter activities. On sat i went 'snowshoeing' in the alps with a great view of the largest mountain in Europe and on Sun i went ice skating! Its been so many years since ive been skating and so i was a bit wobbly at first. I went to the rink in Albertville where the 1992 winter olympics were held, so i skated on the same rink as olympic champions. (I think thats pretty cool) Classes are going just fine. I got my first italian exam back and i did well with 13.5/20. That may not seem good, but the french system is a little wacky and i started the class a month after everyone else. Teaching is getting a bit on my nerves as of late. The students are getting cabin fever i think, they want to be out in the snow, and vacation was several weeks ago. We are all getting tired. Some other good news is last night i went to a ColdPlay Concert in the town of Lyon. They played a lot of the hits and i knew all the songs except for a few. It was really a great concert even though i went with 2 people i didnt know. One of these people ended up the be the son of an Ambassador of Canada. His father was in Senegal about 10 years ago for a post, had a son, and now that person (so the bro of the guy i went to the concert with) is in international affairs as well, did an internship with the CIA and now works for nuclear energy watchdog organization in Ottawa. The people you can meet can be so interesting! In other news, im trying to figure out my Christmas holiday plans and well im in quite a pickle.
