I woke up to the most beautiful scene this morning. It will be moments like this that I will miss when I am back in the United States.

My grandmother, her friend, and I drove up to the mountains after lunch to go cross-country skiing. I fell down SO. MANY. TIMES. Despite this, the weather was beautiful; of course, it was below freezing, but the sky was mostly clear and there wasn’t any snow blowing around in your face.

We were out for about 2 hours and when we got back to the car, I had to strip down to my bra to change my double layer of clothing because it was wet from the exercise. The reason for this is because I don’t have proper clothing for these activities, and I wasn’t going to spend the money on getting the proper gear because I knew I would only be doing this a few times.

Tomorrow, I look forward to waking up at 6am to catch the train to go to school. I do believe that this is the last week before finals, so I suppose this is my last week of school, period (while I am here in Germany). Yay!
