Skiing... fun, exciting, and cold.

     This weekend, I did a lot of fun skiing. Through harsh winds an fresh powder, it was a great experience. I have been skiing since I can remember and I have always loved it, skiing is a great activity to partake in and I have always been very fond of it.

     My family has been going skiing together forever, ever since I was about two years old, we would always do spring break in Park City, Utah. We have also skied in other places on the west coast such as Colorado (Stemboat Springs and Breckinridge).

      Skiing is super fun because you have so much freedom and the feeling of speeding down the mountain and shredding through the powder is awesome. I like skiing because it is something that is insanely fun to do, especially with your friends.

     This weekend, we had a slow start to the skiing but once we got out there, it was amazing. On Sunday afternoon, we took the last lift up all the way to the summit and it was -15°! Despite the extreme cold, we had a great last run on a seemingly untraveled ski trail.

     Another awesome thing about skiing is some of the ridiculous scenery you get to experience, the snow-topped tree lines and gorgeous mountains are unrivaled. Going up in the chairlifts and looking around is a natural view you can get only with skiing.

     Skiing is for all ages and can be done most times of the year (Fall-Spring), so, if you have never before, I recommend you get out there and do some fun skiing.

     I’m not excited by the book, I’m excited that I’m reading the book. Around the World in Eighty Days is a very exciting work of literature. It evokes my brain and demands me to always be ready for more intense action.

         In reading Around the World in Eighty Days, I learned that even a book can be wildly enticing. It is not a very hard book to read, but there is always some plot twist or crazy escapade going on. It is one of the very few books I have trouble not wanting to read, I know that this is a great book if it can be that appealing to someone who quite dislikes reading.

        I started reading Around the World in Eighty Days because we had to do read for a project and it was the first book Fitz recommended to me. At first, I thought the book was going to be terrible because the first few chapters were actually pretty boring. As the book started to develop more and more; however, I realized that it was a splendid piece of writing and now I can barely put it down.

        I, so far, have had a wonderful time reading this classic; moreover, next time someone suggests a book, I will give it much more of a chance; I will continue to read this exciting, exhilarating, and wonderful composition. I started to read this book for the simple fact that I had to. However in continuing to read it, I found that it is a great book and I case why it is loved by many. In my adventure so far in Around the World in Eighty Days, I have seen lots of action and adventure, and can’t wait to continue my venture into this novel.

Amazing and fun past-times

“Football is football and talent is talent. But the mindset of your team makes all the difference.”-Robert Griffin III

          One thing I have loved since I was very young was playing sports. Basketball, Lacrosse, Hockey, Baseball, Football, Soccer, even Volleyball, I’ve tried them all. I have definitely disliked some sports, but can’t stop doing others. Sports are a great way to express yourself, or take out some anger, or even to fix a terrible day you had been having. Sports are a way for you to connect with other people, and to make friends that may very well last a lifetime.

         Football, I couldn’t talk enough about football. I’m always thinking about it, I’m always wanting to play it, and I’m always trying to get better at it. Football is my favorite thing to do on earth and I could never get away from it, even if I went into rehab. The freedom feeling and the adrenaline rush you get from football makes it unlike any other sport I’ve ever tried. I have also always been kind of an aggressive kid and football gives me the opportunity to control that aggression towards winning. Football is also ridiculous exercise but sometimes quite painful. I am also just naturally good at the sport so I really like to play it, being good at something is great when you also love to do it.

       Baseball, baseball is a sport that I also love and enjoy playing. While I have a passion in my life for football unlike any other, I still really like other sports, baseball being one of them. Baseball I have played for much longer than I have football, going all the way back to my early days with tee-ball. Baseball is fun because you can be more relaxed during it. It is sport where you can come to have a lot of fun with your friends if your looking for that instead of high-intesity pressured competition.

       Basketball, basketball is another sport I really love and probably the sport I will play for the longest. You can play basketball almost anywhere, it is so easy to set up and play as long as you have a ball. Basketball can also be played at all ages, hence why I’ll play the longest. You can get a basketball and a hoop and be occupied for hours on end. Just shooting around and having tons of fun. Basketball is especially fun when you have friends to enjoy it with, just being able to start a pick-up game from anywhere is amazing.

       In conclusion, I love to play sports, they are something that take up a huge portion of my day and something I couldn’t do without. I also like how they improve friendships, health, and your overall life.

I am completely loving my book so far. For the most part, reading for homework has been really fun unlike in the past. Getting to the half-hour time commitment has been no problem, I’ve actually been having trouble putting the book down to go and do other homework. I really like how the author makes the book feel like the main character never stops moving and is always jumping from place to place.  In the book, the antagonist keeps failing to arrest the main character because he is a runaway fugitive, but Phileas Fogg’s servant has no idea of the huge crime his master has just committed. I love the book and can’t wait to keep reading it.
