I want some input...

As I was watching, I heard a sound

And from behind me a snake snuck forth

Following a trail of breadcrumbs, following it’s path.

His name I decided was Hansel and I wondered if he was going home.

So I focused my attention upon the pattern being made

And sought to discover where the end would lead.

The snake twisted into spirals, turned into corkscrews,

Went up and over logs, slinked under and around people’s unwary feet.

No screeches, no squeals, no screams of attention were given to this feat.

Instead the group stood huddled searching for a clue

While underfoot the snake continued, unaware of

the ruckus up above.

“Shh!” I heard sputtered from the crowd, “Oh, nevermind,”

And they continued, unaware of

the trouble down below.

And so the searching comes to nothing and a relentless path is followed.

Breadcrumbs…

No.

I meant that red stuff, you know...

Oh, I forget.

Exams and Embarrassment

Hey,
So this is a post for me to vent a little. I was just embarrassed a little.. actually not so much embarrassed, but a little mortified for sure. And I have three exams tomorrow, but I really can't be fucked to study for them. Can't concentrate. So tonight at dinner George and I, (ok ligistics here, I sit at the table that was like across the isle from ours, he sits at the one like, in the corner where the ho-train was; right no idea why that's important..) anyway, point is we have have a conversation, but it's a little loud. And we did just banter stuff. He's like i'm sorry you haven't seen male genetalia, and I was like just cus I haven't seen yours... at this point Evan (new guy) jumps in with (very loudly) ya didn't you give minemier a hand job. Everyone at my table and everyone at his table hears this... half the people at my table are like, what, Katie when did this happen. I just turned bright red and glared... And then I realized Julie was sitting there. Not sure if she heard or not. Kinda thinking she did. So I'm definetly embarrassed, everyone who heard wants to know what happened. Ya..

So anywya... exams... I totally failed chem today... looked over the material before only to discover that half the HL material, we haven't covered! I really have no idea what to do next!!
anyway, I gotta go, cus i have three (count 'em, three) exams in the morning!! woho!!! and my roommate says hi (sara). Ya, and the internet's about to go out..
Miss you guys!!
Love you!!
Katie

Noooo

I wrote a nice long post and I don't think it actually went through. Dammit, it was like really long and nice and stuff. Anyway, I'll write as much as I can remember again and hope that it doesn't come up twice... I hadn't been on the blog in ages and it was so nice reading shit from everybody, well almost everbody, Micah (ok, ok, Maika) is being his normal self and not keeping in touch. Well, I'm planning on transferring to McGill for next year. Montreal, cool, the Europe of North America, so anyone who is missing culture can come and visit... well, true to form, I haven't actually *applied* yet, but hey, if Fifi can get in, I can. Oh and I am going to Portes du Soleil for winter break, so that definitely kicks everyone Stateside's asses with regards to snow, Paul, Lynsey, Chris, consider yourself pwned... ahh I remember going to Portes du Soleil in LAS... Liz and Katie, remember the really scary pink chair lift?? muahahahaha... and I'll get to see Dentes du Midi again.. too bad I was too lazy to ever climb it, haha. Chris I have something to add to the semen thing of that book you posted... check this article out. Here's a clicky for it... that is from the fucking Redbook (ok enough with colors and shit) site itself, a "Sex Expert" telling people that monogomous straight women that suck cock every day are going to get enormous health benefits from semen. Ha. Ha. Ha. So check that out. Liz I was gonna call, I did get your message, but like my cell is out of batteries, and it's so cold out now I don't want to go outside and find coverage, and my room phone can't call long distance... *shifts guiltily in seat* SO anyone that wants to get in touch with me, call my room phone, it's 845-752-4792. Call. Bitches. Funk, I agree, where art thou? And I am coming up to Montreal sometime next semester to check out McGill, we should get something properly together! Justin, I had forgotten I ever wrote that Galicki Pie into the yearbook, I am *almost* mortified it is readable.. but then again... Heil Hinkel! Ahh, I miss the racism, and the fact that people look at me like I'm crazy/mistaken here if I say that Arabic sounds like coughing a loogey. Of course I think Lynsey will now try and correct me on how it really sounds :P... Umm lastly I guess a little about me, finals are coming up but all my classes (with the exception of Calc 2 which I am dying in because my teacher is awful) are easy so no biggie, I am back in a real relationship with Marlon, don't know if I mentioned that before or not, this comes with the added benefit of being able to go up there on weekends and get a nice double bed, tv, non-central heating, good food, free alcohol... of course I go up there only because I <3 him soo much.. ahaha. Anyway, I'm gonna go pretend to do my essay which is a week overdue and I havent read the book I'm supposed to be writing about yet.. mm.. yeah... Miss y'all, keep in touch.

The Magic Mountain...

Well... As I'm reading this I feel the need to remind everyone how much Leysin rocks... We've just gotten a TON of snow... There are snowball fights galore.... I had a bit too much at Top Pub (Chelsea just kept buying me shots!!) and went to Beau Site to visit my darling brother and I got pummeled... Apparently being drunk makes you a target. Or being a sister of any sort. Or just existing. Then last night, after having one less, I managed to start a fight. Not an actual serious one, thank god, but there was blood and I feel really bad about it. See they're searching Vermont, so I'm like shit I have to give away my alcohol. So I talk to Sean. But then, Matt and Ali hold me down and tickle me, while allowing Bandar to shove snow down my ass and Sean steals my shoe and says he put it outside. So I send Matt out to get it, with the promise of the alcohol. Shoe's inside. So now what. Sean suggests they fight for it. They do, in the snow (it was almost like in pudding, but not quite) Sean gets beat, but manages to make Mini bleed. Sean wins.
So ya. I fell bad, am once again hoping Julie won't kill me. This time not for de-virginizing her brother, but just in general.
In the meantime though, Sharp's killing us all. We find out at like 10 pm last night that he told the boys the journal's due tomorrow or he's putting in a zero. Girls are screwed. All of us. It's fun. Anyway I have to now tromp up the stairs to French. damnit. =
Miss you all
Love
Katie
ps. special prayer to the snow gods!!

Rebuttals, Rebuttals

9am-3:30pm. Hot cocoa. Sore in the morning today. Pure bliss.

A Place Called Bluewood


So, at this place called Bluewood that is a 45 minute drive from my campus, it has been snowing for about 4 days straight. So this morning, we got up early and drove over there. We were waist deep in fresh untouched powder. The ski place opened up yesterday. There are only two lifts, but the powder was insane. There were so many steep runs that went right through pine forests. We had to weave in and out of trees while ripping fresh tracks. The powder runs were longer than anything I ever did in Leysin. It was mind blowing. MIND BLOWING! It snowed the entire time, and was still snowing when we left. Fortunately, the visibility was perfect with not too much fog and no flat light. There was no wind, and the conditions were just overall... perfect. I boarded with some folks from Colorado and California and Alaska, and they all agreed that these were pretty much some of the best skiing conditions they had ever been in. We boarded from opening till closing, a total of about 6 hours. So any of you questioning the merits of the northwest, let me tell you, we got a lot to offer. So what have all of you been up to this weekend?
