Christmas break is over :(

Finally, the christmas break has ended.  Yet I don't mind that much, except for one thing.  I hate waking up so early for school.  During the break I got to totally sleep in.  Now I have to wake up early almost every morning the entire week!  I loved my christmas though.  I got a push golf cart (I really don't know how to describe it differently), an air soft gun, which is a pump action rifle, and many more gifts.  And even better was the present we got a few weeks ago.  We got a brand new cat!  Our old one died of a liver disease, and the house just seemed empty without a little cat.  So we searched around for a cat, we looked at Petsmart and the animal shelter.  But we finally decided on a cat from Petco, which we named cocoa, in memory of the holiday season.  She's a really tiny kit, all black, and she's very playful.  We bought these feather things that she just rips apart!  It's so much fun with her around.

And of course I loved the new years eve celebration.  One of my main reasons that I like new years eve is that I can finally stay up past midnight.  Usually I'm forced to bed around 10 or 11, but on that day I can stay up really late.  Plus playing with all our family and friends was just a blast.  

Yet the new year makes me sad as well.  It marks the end of the holiday break, which means that I can't go skiing on the weekdays anymore.  And it marks the start of school, and that made me feel tired just thinking about it.  It stunk the first day of school, after sunday, which I couldn't sleep in on, to wake up at 7 to a "get up, you'll be late to school!"  Those were the last words I wanted to hear, so I had to pull myself out of bed, shower, get dressed, eat a small breakfast compared to the winter break breakfasts, and run out into the cold to catch a bus that was late!  Then I had to try and remember all the work that we did last and recall math formulas.  That was such a pain.

Yet for honors english I got to relax from writing blogs for the entire winter break!  That didn't help me much when I realized I still had stuff to do for this class.  And so I had to rush to the library checking out books and reading them extremely hard.  It was a horrible week last week.

The only good thing about last week was that I was able to ski on last saturday.  It was great, till I hurt myself on the slopes and now have trouble walking.  I still love skiing, but not when it hurts me so badly.  My cousin showed me up, preforming jumps that I would never dare, and grinding on one of the rails they put in the terrain park.  That's what I need to improve on, jumps and actually learning to do tricks.
