T is for "Tabogon". I mean, "Tray."

I'm proud to say that I've been doing a pretty good job of keeping my resolutions. Ok, maybe not the posting one, but hey, I'm only human.

I've been especially good on the physical activity part of my resolution. Today I did it in the most wonderful way imaginable: Traying.

For those of you who don't know, traying is very similar to sledding, in fact, it's identical, except for the choice of equipment. When sledding, one uses a sled to glide smoothly down snow covered hills. When traying, one (temporarily) steals a tray from the dinning hall and slides, luge style, down a hill at an alarming rate, getting covered in snow, feeling every bump, and freezing most parts of your body. It is, to borrow the vernacular of a young Keanu Reeves, TOTALLY EXCELLENT! I can think of no better words to describe the feeling of racing down a hill with only your but actually sitting on top of your vehicle, your limbs either in the air or inches from the ground.

We worked our way up, from bunny slopes all the way to the smaller of the larger hills on campus, the slope that leads to the field hockey field. It was great because once you finished coming down the hill, there was a the whole 50 yards of flat space that you would continue flying across. It's the most terrifying and exhilarating experience all at the same time. At one point a did a spectacular 360 on my butt and kept going!
