Wow, I haven't written a good blog for a while

And this one is not a good one either. Just want to catch up a little bit.

Spring break is almost over. Really nothing major happening in life. I am preparing to teach a class this quarter. They will pay me over the summer, during which I will take a grace quarter to finish my dissertation. Still do not know what I will do in a long run, but I am taking one day at a time.

Just back from a ski trip. I was with Victor's family. Victor is the real name of my Amsol in my first ever blog on friends. He has a loving wife and cute boy. We drove to the ski resort on Wed and ski for half a day. And then we stayed in Reno. Eating steaks and played video poker. The second day we went to ski again, and then retreated to Reno at night. The third day we were back.

The trip is relaxing. My spring break would otherwise be quite boring without it. I snowboarded both days. Once I took a wrong turn and got lost. It started to snow and I could not see anyone or lifting chairs. For a moment, I was quite pessimistic about maybe a snow mobile will come to rescue me. Well, I found a way to get back to track in 10 minutes, and Victor is now just laughing at me for being such a panic boy.

I also have a closer observation of their family in action. I really liked the relationship. Nothing seems to be fake. They love each other, but they also argue and fight. Even when I am present, they just act like themselves rather than putting up some bullshit cover to present the best part. They provided the best resources for their boy, but also discipled him well. I wouldn't be surprised if their kid grows up to be a great person.
