Journal Entry 38: Christmas Break

            It was finally christmas break, and I was super happy when the school ended in december 16. I had a lot of pressure as this school year started, I guess it is because I am now a sophomore. A day after the exciting and tiring winter dance, me and a lot of my friends flew to Japan to ski and snowboard. This is my fifth ear to go there for ski/snowboarding. This year I snowboarded and it was really fun. I started skiing when I was in fifth grade. I was at local school in fifth grade, which means that I didn't have christmas break. I had to leave school for a week to go to ski despite that I had to finish all the assignments before the week and also had to study by myself of those lectures that I missed. But i think it was worth it. I love snow in general so I love to ski or snowboard. If you ask me which one do I prefer I wouldn't be able to answer you because I think they are two very different sports. Anyways, I went with my friends this year and I had a lot of fun with them. We went shopping and ate together. We also did a lot of funny and stupid things like we always do. I missed snow and everything in Japan the second I hopped on the plane that take me back to Taiwan. After that I went to Jingmin's house for a four days sleepover. The reason why I went to her house for so long is that I wanted to take a break from everything and also finish all the homework in her house. And I did it! I finished all the preview and homework in her house! After that I went to Candy's house for another sleepover to celebrate her birthday. And the last thing I did during the christmas break was I went to Taipei 101 for the New Years Eve fireworks and it was amazing! It was so beautiful that I just kept on staring at it with awe and amazement. I have never went to 101 for New Years Eve fireworks before. There are way too much people there but it was fun too. My winter break was awesome and fun and memorable.
