Lasts and Firsts

        Minnesota is never predictable. Especially in January. You would think that January would be one of the most predictable months of the year-cold and snowy. But, alas, no. Every year it's a surprise. 2011: cold and snowy, 2012: no snow, 2013: cold and rainy? Yeah, doesn't make a lot of sense. Come on Minnesota get with it! I think Minnesota is trying to be Seattle, but just like the bible says, when a body part tries to be a different body part, it doesn't work out too well! Same thing happening here. Minnesota stop trying to be Seattle! It just doesn't work.
        This last weekend was the biggest high school race in the nation-mesabi! With over 1200 skiers, Giants Ridge in Biwabik, MN was a very busy place. The 2.4 k race course was even busier! Each racer had to do two laps. The course was skied 2200 times yesterday. Although I had two falls-one in the first 5 mins of the race-I had an okay classic race. Wayzata girls took 2nd place overall. It was a very fun last mesabi weekend of my ski career.
         Tomorrow, I start my very last semester of high school!! I am so excited to only have 17 weeks of high school left! Along with my last semester, I am starting something new-on campus PSEO at Northwestern College. I am excited to do something new and different, but also slightly apprehensive because I missed orientation due to mesabi and it is something I have never done! I am excited to finish up my senior year with 56 college credits and only three (hopefully) years of college left ahead of me.

Until next time,

Miss Sass A Frass
