So, the holidays have almost come to an end :( I've had a lovely week off though, a lot of sitting around and not doing a lot, exactly like holidays should be :)

On Thursday I went skiing again, and it was absolutely brilliant! I loved it, I was no longer terrified and therefore managed to properly enjoy myself. I felt so much more at ease and used to the skis, and I only fell over once :) Still wasn't exactly zooming down the mountain but I was slightly faster than last time so I feel I'm making progress! I've been looking at skis to buy but think maybe it's a little early for that...

So aside from skiing I seem to have spent most of my week in Fribourg with the other assistants there. On Tuesday we celebrated carnaval which was an experience! And a lot of fun. Basically everyone dresses up and there are processions during the day, and huge parties in the evening. We went down to the big square in the old town and it was rammed with people in all kinds of weird and wonderful costumes (my personal favourite was two guys wearing a mattress...) and marching bands playing carnaval music, and confetti absolutely everywhere. It was a great atmosphere.
