THE END

During this isp I tried to do my best. First of all I tryed to read the book 'the climb' during christmas break, but actually it waqs pretty hard, it took me a long time to arrive at page 30. Last week I started reading from page 120, how was assigned, finding it a bit easier, maybe becouse the story was already in medias res. I wrote all my 10 blogs, making them as long and completed as possible, writing also about the San Juan avalches. I also did my project about the different events in ski racing and I guess it came out pretty good; ALso yesterday I wrote my personal paper about ski racing. I found a bit pointless the igloo, I didnt learnt that much the first days; if for any chance I'll be in a survival situation in the snow I'd rather build a snowcave then an Igloo, in fact with all the tecnology of these days it's kinda pointless build it with just a saw (that's my point of view, I hope it will not affect anyone). I found pretty useful the introduction to psia, it was really interesting, and now I'm determinated to do the first level of ski instructor during my year here. Also very interesting was the movie that we saw, normally I find documetaries hard to follow or boring, but not this time, and I learnt a lot from it. Teacher could think that I didnt make many effort on following this isp, but actually I tryed to come to class as much as possible, going training just in that moments where almost everyone was skiing and I would not learn as much as a training day. I love skiing, in Italy i dsont live as neart at the mountain as here, I wanna try to train as much as possible, just for this year, it's my ionly occasion. ALso during these days I had to attend ap review, calc, one hour every day with homework, that actually werent that easy. I'd really like to have an A in this Snow Science isp, but that's up to the teacher and I hope they'll grade me in the best way possible.
