Canada Baby!

I just got back from an amazing week of skiing and snowboarding at Mt Tremblant in Canada. The snow was melting a little as it was 14 degrees Celcius on the slopes but we still managed to get some good runs in. Funny story: as soon as we got across the border we stopped at a supermarket and my room mate she would buy about 1 pound of turkey. She then proceeded to do the conversion from pounds to kg backwards (Canada uses the metric system), so instead of buying approximately 0.5kg she bought 4kg of turkey! Needless to say I am a little sick of turkey. Other than lots of turkey, highlights of the trip included going to an Irish Pub on St Patrick's Day, snow tubing and cooking 2 minute noodles in a coffee pot because we didn't have a stove top. The only downside is that now I'm back at uni I keep wishing I was on the slopes instead of doing a fluid mechanics assignment...

Snow tubing!

Noodles + coffee pot = resourceful

Mini shopping trolley! The turkey didn't fit.

COUNTDOWN TO SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!

With only 2 weeks until spring break, all of my lecturers seem to have decided they need to have a million items of assessment. At least there is spring break to look forward to! My room mate and I are heading to Mt Tremblant, near Montreal in Canada, to go skiing with the UMass Ski and Board Club. I can't wait! In the mean time I really need to finish that fluid mechanics lab report...

Just a few more photos, the photo below is of the UMass campus. The building in the middle in the foreground is a fraternity and the tall buildings in the background are where I live on campus.

I swear I didn't fall over!
