Hello y'all
Finally, I got to properly updating my blog posts. And perhaps a little late, but I wanna give you my best New Years wishes. I hope your year has started off with better health than mine. Anyways, let's get on with the pictures.

For I think the first time in my life, I went properly sledding. Going up the hill after every decend in about a meter of snow was rather exhausting, hence why in the picture below my hostsister is sitting at the bottom of the hill and enjoying the sight of me tumbling down.

The sledding was so fun I had to go again the next day. That second day, the top layer of the snow had melted and then refrozen, resulting in a nice layer of ice that made going down the hill even faster. Unfortunally, as my cheek found out soon enough, it also meant that slamming onto the ground was a little less pleasant.

Though I didn't always get to see them, the Northern Lights showed up a few times again. Here's one of the times i did get to see the absolute beauty of them.

A few weeks ago, we had winter formal. I think the best way to describe it is to say that it's similar to a homecoming dance. We had a very fun time nonetheless, dancing the night away and regularly standing in line for the photoboot.

For one of Lene's (my German hostsister) last meals, we went to a Chinese all-you-can-eat restaurant. In that restaurant, they had really good food, as well as an aquarium with some... interesting fish.

One of my many Henna creations, this one was on my Mexican hostsisters' hand.

As the first semester came to an end, so did stagecraft. In honour of our time as theater kids, Grade 12 students were allowed to leave a little message on the walls. This was mine.

Yesterday (so saturday) I went to do a polar dip. It was at Charlie lake - our 'local' lake - where they had cut a stripe out of the ice for us to go in. I just went in and out but there were others who stayed in for a whole 5 minutes. The picture below is one of the fire they had made for us to stay warm/warm up. it was rather necessary as it was -12°C that day. Despite my toes nearly freezing off before I even went into the ice water, it was a lot of fun and I'm glad I did it.

And now to round off this blogpost, some pictures of the beautiful skies that I got to witness when walking to school.
Stay hydrated and I'll see you next time.
Still slightly healing regards, Cupcake
