While walking to the gym the other morning in a pair of shorts, I noticed that my legs became numb and my nose turned bright red. I checked the temperature and was shocked to discover it was 37 degrees! I guess this is normal for November? After about a week of adjusting to the cold, I’m starting to get more and more into the winter spirit which lead me to my next decision: I want to go skiing! (And I’ll wear ski pants and a jacket of course). I can feel my workload starting to pile up and am beginning to start thinking about finals, but within all of this chaos there must come sanity! Or at least some form of stress-relief! After talking to some friends and doing a little research, I have made an amazing discovery. The Wintergreen Ski Resort is a mere 44 minutes away from Charlottesville! This resort has discounted prices for students and not only offers great skiing but also tubing and a zip line. I can’t think of a better or more invigorating way to forget about the burdens of a calculus test than literally zipping down a mountain. So to the students, professors, and Charlottesvillians out there that are feeling more or less frazzled about the work and commitments to come this winter, pack up your long johns, dig out your snow-boots, and shake off the stress at Wintergreen! I can’t wait!
