Jumping Snow
Banks
On Christmas Eve, I attended the
community Christmas program. After listening to a lot of Christmas
songs and lip syncing a couple with Tassie, I sat and talked with my
mom until all the presents in the gym were passed out. We then walked
home and I opened all my presents before midnight. Being
disappointed with my presents I went to my room and turned on a
movie. Just as I was getting comfortable, Long came by and asked me
if I wanted to go on a snow machine ride with him. I gladly agreed
and got dressed.
We rode around town for a while to
try to find someone to ride with us. The only person we saw riding
around was Richard Boots. We asked him to ride with us up to Pilcher.
We followed him up going about 40-50 mph. We got maybe half way up
the mountain and turned back because it was too stormy. We rode
around on the tundra for a while jumping over tussocks and big snow
banks. After a while Willie Paul and Nus showed up. Long jumped over
a big snow bank with me, but it was scary and I got off so he could
jump all he wanted. A couple minutes later Will dropped Nus off by me
and we watched the three boys jump over and over again. Not too long
after, something happened to Long's snow machine and we had to come
back into town. After standing outside Long's house for maybe half an
hour watching him tinker with his machine I walked home.
On New Year's Eve I had to work in
the student store to help out with selling our products to a lot of
happy people who spent their evening square dancing. Just before
midnight, we closed the store and went down by Virg-ins' house to
watch the fireworks display put on by the city. It was the best New
Year's Eve I'd had for as Iong as I could remember because I wasn't
hanging around with alcoholic people. After the half-hour fireworks
display, Tassie, Gerilyn, Diane, Emily and I went back to the gym to
wish happy New Year to everyone there. Then we went to check out the
teen dance. It was kind of fun because I sat close to the speakers
and told jokes with my friends and made fun of the stuck-up people
who were there.
The only other interesting thing that
I did was travel down to Pilot Station by snow machine with my cousin
Terrence on January 12. We took off at about 5:00 p.m. and reached
Pilot at maybe 6:30. The basketball games were pretty boring, but I
had fun talking with Poopie and Paula, and teasing some of the people
we saw. It was also good to see some of my old friends again (you
know who you are, I hope). We left from Pilot Station pretty late and
reached Marshall around 1:00 a.m. The ride up was better than the
ride down because it was a little stormy and Terrence was driving
more carefreely than he did going down river. We also rode in a lot
of powder snow instead of following the trail all the way
up.
Although it wasn't as much fun as I
thought it would be, my vacation from school was okay.
