and what merry ones at that! So today in my inbox came a fantastic little email from the Director of BCBSA, or British Columbia Bobsleigh, Skeleton Association. "YOU ARE INVITED TO WHISTLER DRIVING SCHOOL FOR FREE" Now normally you have to pay about $500 for the week of driver training and its with a coach or someone who used to be a pilot, usually in a group of 8-10. My invite was to learn how to drive under Jill Bakken (she won the gold in Salt Lake City, as a pilot) and there were only 5 invites sent out, and I was the only girl invited. Am I excited or what!! I've always wanted to at least feel what it would be like to drive one of those things, I mean I sit in the back enough, now it would be nice to see where I was going! I had wanted to take a driving course but finances weren't really there, and 90% of the driving schools are out in either Calgary, or Lake Placid, ie add in flights, and accomodation etc and the week becomes an expensive one, albeit a very cool experience. But now its in Whistler and I get in for free, and if I do well in this school I will be invited to compete in Canadian Nationals, as a pilot. Pretty freaking cool if you ask me. So I will be scrounging around trying to find a place to stay in Whistler for the week of Jan 4-10th (also my 24th birthday - amazing experience) and I should be pretty good to go! I will keep everyone posted but I am definitely excited. Even if I don't do well, at least I know that I tried it, I sat in the front and couldn't handle it, but if I love it, we will see what happens. I truly believe that when one door closes another opens, scrap the window part.
Merry Christmas!!!!
