So, with that said, I will try to sum the week up into my single accomplishment:<\/p>\n<h2>I broke a ski pole<\/h2>\n<p>\tI figured my week was all for naught but then Sunday came around and brought me excitement. Let me give you some context: nearly every time I go skiing I decide to turn off my &#8216;rational&#8217; section of my brain. I go do silly things that I probably shouldn&#8217;t. Today was one of those days.<\/p>\n<p>\tIn the past I&#8217;ve done some pretty amazing things. Heres one day at the ski jump and another having finished a make-out session with my ski&#8217;s edge.<\/p>\n<p>\t<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/devdev\/332103790\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/162\/332103790_77759c2b15_s.jpg\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" alt=\"DSCN1485\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/devdev\/348405885\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/163\/348405885_d5b396e031_s.jpg\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" alt=\"Skiing injury (1\/3)\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>\tToday I decided to one-up myself. I was going through a semi-forested run and ended up getting my right pole stuck in a tree branch. It grabbed on and didn&#8217;t let go. I, on the other hand, was going quickly past it &#8212; also not giving up the pole. This force twisted me oh-so-slightly off course. My right ski got stuck in powder but with my forward momentum I kept going&#8230; head first. I ended up in a huge drift of powder. The drift turns out to be a dry creek bed.<\/p>\n<p>\t<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/devdev\/379770868\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/148\/379770868_56f0a6d3c3_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"192\" alt=\"Haha, it bent!\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>\tSo, the pole was bent, to say the least. I went to oh-so-slightly bend it back into place when it snapped.<\/p>\n<p>\tSo I skied all day with one pole (after holding a proper burial, of course). I figured I should hang onto the survivor.<\/p>\n<h2>Other happenings&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>\tMore conference stuff. More school. I forgot my laptop on Thursday.
