Well, as far as teachers getting things done, I broke down and took a personal day last week. I get two a year and didn't use them last year. So, I took one. And spent it doing about 80% of my shopping and wrapping. However my house is a flippin' mess and I am dying for a day to just clean and organize before Christmas gets here!! And sadly, we get out after school on 12/23 and go back on 1/3. Yuck.
Skiing with an experienced partner? I bet it will be intimidating! The guy I am dating currently takes a couple of ski trips every year and a year ago went to Switzerland with the guys to ski...and I have been skiing exactly once! So I will live through your experience...
