this is the last straw. this really really hurt today. I had to reject this letter today for a boardercross event - nationals in CO. I didn’t think I would qualify this yr, but must have gotten a wildcard. Would be an awesome time, nice 7 day lift ticket at Copper Mountain, and the chance to take the win and go to the X-Games. damn it!!! I hate this no life out of work / studying. This one is for you L2. Congratulations philip.platt: You have been invited to the USASA National Championships at Copper Mountain from April 4-10, 2009. This may be your first invitation or a friendly reminder that your deadline is approaching! Here is what you are qualified for at this time and the Deadline Date: BX (NR) Deadline: Mar 26, 2009 23:59:00 PST
just go man… you can read the books all the way up the lift… then when you ride down hold them by your sides, and put flash cards on the top half of your ski goggles so you can memorize heterskedaticity.
I’ll zip and send you L2 Audio for your MP3 player so you can listen while you board/ski.
Cmon Phil… This is what you were waiting for long man! Now when the opportunity knocks, you can’t miss it. Just (over) prepare in advance to cover up for that week’s loss.
yeah you just go. Its a week, you can’t not live cuz of a test. Just push yourself before and after, maybe you will get some clarity on a break.
Congrats, man - go for it! You’ll probably spend more time kicking yourself if you don’t go than if you just go.
