A new start with 2010!

Aah okay I managed to ignore this again.
I'll seriously make an effort to update this daily though.
Yes...DAILY.

I can't be bothered to recount my awesome Christmas break day-by-day so I'll briefly sum it up:
- Every day was spent doing basically nothing- best break ever.
- Christmas was nice, quiet and cosy.
- I went skiing for the very first time...Yes, for the past 18½ years my mother has successfully managed to keep me away from snow-covered hills that exceed an altitude of 200 metres. So I expressed my gratitude by going to a skii-hill that had an altitude of 5700 metres. [I came back with an enormous bruise on my thigh, but on the whole it was an amazing experience- thank you Swedish friends.] The bruise that stayed the longest was the hit that severely damaged my ego. Little younglings of barely 7 years of age were zooming past me while I was desperately trying not to lose control of my own skiis. At least I avoided skiing into a tree. [Just barely].
- I had a great time at my friend's New Year's party! Definitely no better way to welcome the new year than being not-completely-sober and feeling ecstatic.

So that mainly sums up my beginning of the year!
Two weeks ago, I operated a car for the very first time.
Now, two weeks later- I've been put in traffic, shoved into several scary round-abouts, released the clutch a fair too many times, and am still alive. Perhaps I'll actually manage to get a liscense?
