Hey hey guys!
I know it's been quite a while since I last did a blog but nothing really news worthy had been going on...until now!
The update is that I am now officially a qualified Ski Instructor! Yes it's true! Despite having been injured and missed over 3 weeks of training, I sat and passed my level 1 exam! To be honest, when Matt was here, I had pretty much convinced myself there was no point in even sitting the exam. However, the last week of training I was with such a good instructor that he made me believe there was a small chance I could potentially pass! So I thought, why the hell not at least give it a go and see! During the exam I honestly thought I had failed my free ski but I knew it was a good experience to try teaching etc so I carried on and I'm so glad now that I didn't just give up!
I've decided that I'm definitely not ready for my level 2 exam, which starts tomorrow so for the last week I'm just going to relax, ski or not as I see fit and get ready for the arrival of Mama and Papa next Monday! I cannot wait to see them and I'm so excited to travel around some more of NZ as it truely is a spectacular place!
Not sure I've told you guys about when Matt came over so here's a quick run down on what we got up to. It was really great to see him and I think he really enjoyed being here as well as seeing me too! He tried his hand at skiing and by the second day was already skiing parallel. To be honest I was quite jealous of his apparent natural ability but was glad that he seemed to enjoy it so much! The middle weekend he was here, we went to Queenstown and did a hot air balloon ride, went to the Ice Bar and Matt did the second highest bungy jump in the world, 134m! I went out to the pod while he jumped and was kinda tempted but with my knee still being quite dodgy at the time i was sensible and didn't do it!
That's about all my news for the time being! Thanks for all your messages of congratulations and all my messages recently! Really appreciate it! xx
