User blog:EllerbyBrit/Skiing at Lake Tahoe, Pre

I am pretty stressed. Okay, so winter break is coming, and winter break means Lake Tahoe, and Lake Tahoe means skiing! However, I am still at home, warm and cozy. Winter is my favorite season, with all its holiday cheer. But, it is my first time skiing. (I know, I don't have a life, blah blah blah. I've never seen real SNOW before other than at the local ice skating rink or in pictures, so cut me some slack.) I really kind of wish that I knew HOW to even ski. My friends tell me it's really hard, since you're used to walking, and the poles really take away the fun of falling. Okay, that's reassuring - the fun of falling - but still, I'm stressed out about it. It's finally seeming REAL, after my mom bought all the equipment. Sure, I've known since yesterday (yeah...my family kind of does things on short notice), but it's still hard to accept it for what it is. Gosh. Sorry, I just needed to rant. Thanks for reading!
