Spring Fever

As of today, I am enjoying the wonderful weather that Geneva has to offer. With so much nice weather one starts to understand why people get spring fever! Being locked away all winter indoors does do crazy things to some people and that is true for me. I am just so glad that it is starting to get warmer and warmer every month. It is quite funny because when I started working for Corinne and Chris, I distinctly remember telling them how excited I was to have the snow coming and to start skiing. Now that is what I said maybe at the beginning of October........4 months later this is not the case....hehehe

Lets explain why.....
1) End of ski season for Christina
Well I screwed up my knee by thinking that I could ski like most of those other kids out there. But there is one problem. I am afraid of going way to fast and kids, well let's just say that when you are young you aren't too afraid of a little speed, in fact, you adore going fast that is what being a kid is about. So any how I decided to start down the hill snow plowing and then turn as I felt I could. Well half way through my turn I noticed that I was going way too fast for me to correct myself. I ended up heading up the hill. Seeing that, I tried to adjust myself. This was a mistake not because of my speed but also because the hill was very icy! My legs went in two different directions and I began to lose my balance. So here I was twisting my leg and my skiis were still in motion. To make a long story short I ended up pulling a muscle and ending my season of skiing very short!

2) I am just tired of snow
I figured that I really took for granted my 4 years of living in California for granted. I miss the sun, and I love wearing shorts way too much! My feet ache from wearing shoes all the time and many many layers of clothing! Bring on the beaches, sand castles, sunburns and swim suits.....I will take that over freezing to death, plumping up from less exercise any day!

3) I love being outside
Running, biking, walking, swimming, hiking....I have discovered that I love to do all of these things and I hate being cooped inside. My body thanks me as well if I am active all day. This may be a problem once I get a real job because I probably will have to be inside alot more but for now since I don't I want to enjoy it as much as I can.

So as you can see I am ready for summer.....not to mention that I can't wait till I get to go to Croatia with the family but other then that I look forward to nice weather and many other things to come. I have more things to write about but I am running short on time! Well till next time everyone!
