Yesterday, I only talked about some of the things that happened during the skiing trip. The main things that we did was of course, skiing, and each day, we spend around 6 hours skiing, since we don't have that much energy to use. On the first day, the first lesson was really boring because it was teaching all the basic things. Even though it's really important, but once you get it, and seeing other people not get it, you would get bored doing the same thing over and over again. Also, since Annie and I were in the beginner course, we were with people that weren't able to ski well yet, which made us feel annoyed. When we finally got to go on the mountain and ski from higher above, I got really nervous since only Annie and I got to go first because we were relatively younger and learned faster than the other people in our class. The coach slowly lead us down, but because of my nervousness, in the middle, I started to lose control and went down in full speed. That made me really scared that I would fall and the fact that it was the first time I was skiing that fast made me move around, causing me to speed up more. The coach yelled out loud to me, telling me what to do, and finally made me slow down after a while. Everything that happened in Japan was really exciting and I had a lot of fun there, especially when we went shopping!
