Procrastination!! Here we come!

     We all know what Youtube is right? That magical place that seems to suck hours away from the day. Youtube can be a place to find new music, watch shows, get the latest laugh or get recent news. Youtube for me is a magical and dangerous realm in which time flies like a hummerbird! (I know that was a strange simile.)  It is one of the many places where you will find the magical beast called procrastination.
       I am a procrastinator! And i'm not quite sure if thats something to proud about. But I consider myself to be master at this not so good art. I am going to to give you the top 3 ways to procrastinate so that you can avoid these places when you have an assignment  to work on or feel like there is something else proactive you could be doing. So here we go!



3.   Google"How not to procrastinate". This is one of my favorites because it is just so perfect! By trying to learn how to procrastinate you are only procrastination. Go Procrastination!

2. Netflix! When I snap my fingers you shall spend hours watching stuff that you don't even want to on netflix. *SNAP* You are now hypnotized by My Little Pony or Breaking Bad. You have begun to waste hours on episode after episode of Once Upon a Time. Congratulations you are a level 2 Procrastinator!

1. Magical Youtube! I absolutely love Youtube! I listen to almost all of my music on Youtube, I'm always watching fail vines and wasting my time to no end! Youtube is the best time waster out there. You go to Youtube to watch one clip about how to make a cake, and before you know it you are watching a video about giraffes falling down and 3 hours have passed. 





I keep saying "Go procrastination" but I created this list so you can be aware of when you are about to procrastinate and stop yourself! But still all of these thing are still fun! So go to the link below for more on procrastination!  Have Fun!!

Shhhhhh! Here is a little secret!

We all have a little something that we don't let many people know about. Sometimes we hide our secret because we are embarrassed, scared that people will think differently about us, or will that others judge us. I know that everyone has something like this, myself included.
 
   So I have three things that I could tell you all but I'm only going to tell you about one. This secret is something that a lot of people misjudge so I am a little nervous. Ok, Ready? I love Anime. For those of you out there that don't know what anime is, anime is an Asian animated show. In America we would call them cartoons, but that really doesn't give anime justice.

   In places like Japan and China anime is just as popular as "Once Upon a Time" or "The Walking Dead" are in America. Every major television channel has at least one anime and is usually on primetime T.V (The time of day when the most popular of shows are aired.) Anime is a very broad term it is like saying 'Books'. There are many different genres but Sci-Fi is by far the most popular.
     We have all heard of Pokemon right? Well Pokemon is an Japanese anime geared towards children. Most animes are meant for adults to teenagers and include more mature subjects. Don't Judge!

So what I am trying to say is that we all have things that we don't want people to know that we like or do. But these things are also a part of who we are so let the world know who you are!! Feel free to coment about what you love to do that most probably won't know! We don't judge here!

My Job!

As a 15 year old this is the time of lives when we begin to think about jobs and money and being more independent.  I have started my first job recently, at the end of november. I am Peer instructor at Brighton Ski Resort. Basicly I teach skiing to kids age 4-7 with an older instructor. I have a lot of fun but it is also hard work and very tiring job.  

This is a picture of the view from Brighton's main restaurant. My own pic! 
My workday starts by waking up at 6:30am to get ready and get all my gear together and leave my house by 7:20. (It takes me about 20 minutes just to get out of bed!)
I catch the city bus at the mouth of Big CottonWood Canyon at 7:50. I arrive at Brighton at 8:30, now my day actually starts! At 9:00 I have just enough time for about 3-5 runs before I have to actually work. 10:10 morning classes start. Morning classes end at 12:30 Afternoon classes begin at 1:10 and end at 4:00. Then I get home about 6:00. That is my work day!
       So there are 6 levels that we teach (this is for skiing classes. Boarding classes are different). Level 1 are 'Never-Evers' These kids have never skied before. Level 2 have skied before, our goal with these kids are to get them out of tip-clamps. Tip-clamps are little clamps that attach to the tip of each of ski to get the kids to make a wedge (a.k.a snowplow, pizza, A-shape).  We have most of our classes in these two levels. Level 3 is learn to turn, these kids can don't need tip clamps to stop or control their speed. Level 4 is turning and getting out of wedges and learn how to parallel skiing.  Level 5 and 6 are our top most classes and are usually combined because these kids skill level are very close to eachother.
       I love my job! That is teaching at Brighton in a nutshell!! Thanks for reading!
