FIrst Time Snowboarding


So I went snowboarding for the first time today. I was really psyched about it and I was eager to try something new. Unfortunately, it turns out I'm not that good. It takes a lot of balance and you need to have a strong core. The first major challenge was standing up. I always seem to just slide and tumble down the mountain. After I was finally able to get up, I had trouble staying up. And of course, I finally had trouble stopping. I had many bumps and bruises of a first-timer. If there ever is a next time, I am going to shake off my failures and try to persevere until I get it. Hopefully, I come better prepared next time with a full night's rest and some water and snacks to stay energized.
My sleep pattern is really fucked up now. Today, I was so drowsy and right now, I'm so awake. This can't be good for me.

Let's try a snow-themed poem today.

Ice Queen
The Ice Queen sits at the top of the hill
She waits there peacefully, quiet, and still
Her beauty invites you
But her coldness bites you
All men walk away with a sudden chill
