Moguls and snowboarding do NOT mix!
Sorry for having been so neglectful lately to this blog... For some reason the words that usually come so easily when I sit to write have been harder to find. But just to give you all an update:
Classes are going well. We're in week 3 or 4 by now and things are going great. I'm enjoying what I'm learning, enjoying my teachers (well, all but one), and enjoying just being here. Grenoble is definitely feeling like home. I still have the occasional bout with homesickness, but it comes and goes quickly.
I've been passing the time hanging out with friends - old and new - and snowboarding. Today a bunch of us went to 7 Laux, another ski station that boasts an incredible view and miles of great terrain to board on. I took off by myself for the morning and met up with a few people from our group for lunch. But as luck would have it, the first run after we ate I fell hard trying to maneuver some moguls and ended up re-spraining my already sprained ankle, and re-popping my already popped knee from that not-so-lovely day at Chamrousse about 2 weeks ago. I don't know how, but I managed to make it back down to the base of the mountain and to the first aid office, where they took x-rays and don't worry mom nothing is broken. But my left leg from knee down hurts so badly that it's difficult to walk and I've been instructed to rent some crutches and avoid snowboarding for 3 weeks! I'm bummed. I could be a lot worse off, but still. Hopefully this heals quickly so I can get back out there.
So there you have it. The latest news. Life is good, I'm happy - except for the fact that I can't snowboard for 3 weeks - and France is great. Love you all, and miss you terribly. Oh yeah, and click on the title of the blog for a link to the pictures from 7 Laux and miscellaneous.
