SSSAS students spend their winter breaks in a variety of different ways. Many go on vacation, whether to take a break from the cold by visiting a beach, visiting far away family, or skiing in the Rockies. I, however, was in town for the holidays. To make the most of my time off, I came to the school often for optional track practices and to get some extra lifting and conditioning in on my off time. Luckily, these practices were relaxed and casual, which turned out to be a good opportunity to get to know some of the underclassmen on the team. I have my first track meet since the break on Friday!
In addition to athletics, I spent my time off experimented with some new art supplies I got for Christmas, since I am trying to build up a strong portfolio. I'll use these pieces for my governors school application for visual arts, due later this month, as well as my AP portfolio for the spring of next year. It's always exciting to try out new mediums, styles, and ideas on my own time.
School is back and session, and the winter is definitely kicking in with some flurries of snow dusting the campus. Hopefully the snow will continue for some good skiing in the long weekends coming up!
