"Worse things happen at sea"

Well this will probably be the final entry. It's my last night and I leave for Geneva around 9am tmrw. By the time most of you read this I'll be home and midway through a mammoth washing session.

Just to underline the fact that it really is time to go home I punched a hole in the base of my new (and now only) board on the last pitch of the last run of the season (the face). BOLLOCKS!

Still look on the bright side, I have my BASI 3 qualification and I have all my limbs and ligaments intact. "Worse things happen at sea" my gran always said. Not entirely sure about the relvance of that to snowboarding. Suppose I could have had my board bitten in half by a great white or been dragged to my doom by a giant squid so maybe gran was right.

The big question now is : what next?

Well, now I'm qualified I could potentially work next season or even over the summer (in exotic locations such as NZ, S.America or Milton Keynes). i'm not sure the life of an instructor is the one for me. At the moment I'm enjoying my "real" job too much. Of course that may all change after i go back to the "PROJECT FROM HELL"(tm).

Anyway, It's been fun over here, hard work, harder than most of you could imagine. A seson sounds fun but 7 hours a day, 5 days a week plus weekends is pretty tiring. I'm looking forward to a nice comfy bed, mum bringing me cups of tea and a telly that has stuff in english.

See you all soon.
