God, just that WORD makes me nervous. Skiing. Gaaaah, the S word.. People don't understand what it's like for us South Africans, they really don't. It's SCARY, okay, we just don't get this snow stuff in our neck of the woods, NO one in South Africa skiis, cos, well, there's NO snow, is there?... So, can you all stop looking so bloody surprised when I tell you I can't ski. It's like asking a fish why they can't walk on land. Come on, can you ride an ostrich? Or kill a snake? Or track a lion? Fine, whatever, neither can I, but you get where I'm going with that.
The idea of launching myself down the side of a mountain with two pieces of plastic attached to my feet is, well, it's pretty frightening! But, I DO have a lesson planned for tomorrow, so that makes feel a bit better about the the whole thing. I think I'm just overthinking it, it'll be fiiiine. I mean, the girl that almost DIED on a slope in Chamonix last weekend is only in ICU - pah, that's NOTHING, sheesh what am I even worried about!?
