On Stranger Tides

http://www.disneydreaming.com/2011/04/26/pirates-of-the-caribbean-on-stranger-tides-tv-spot-die-trying/

Jack Sparrow embarks on yet again, this time to find the Fountain of Youth. The movie is pretty long and I don’t want to bore you with the details so I’ll talk about the most important events. First of all Jack Sparrow is hired by the English king to find the fountain of youth because he wants to live for a long time. Luckily Jack sort of knows the way but he needs a boat. The next day he finds himself in his ex-girlfriend’s boat and the captain is Black Beard. Obviously there is a ritual for the fountain so they get everything they need and fine the place. When they get there the Spanish pirates who wanted to destroy the fountain because it went against the bible battled for it and destroyed it. However someone was still able to take a drink for the precious water. But I don’t want to give the whole movie away so I won’t tell you who it is:). Obviously throughout the movie there are some epic sword fights and some pretty cool costumes but that’s true in the whole trilogy. Overall I really liked the movie and I definitely recommend it, even if you’re not usually into these types of movies you should give it a try.

Spring Snow

It seems as if Spring Break was a long time ago, but I never had time to write a post about it. But now I finally had time since it’s the weekend before dead week so we don’t have too much homework. Well, in Spring Break I went to Vail, Colorado to ski. I went to ski school since it was only the second time I ski. I had a lot more fun than I thought I would. The group I was put on changed on a daily basis but I always had the same instructor who was very funny. I think I can say I learned a lot in the 5 days I went to class; I started out in as a level 3 skier and ended in as a level 5 so I was pretty proud. One of the most memorable moments, and probably the funniest too, was when I wiped out (which is what my instructor said when we fell or crashed into trees), in my case I had crashed into a tree. In my defense it was my first day skiing after around 3 years. It must have been quite a scene but in the end I was fine and I only had one more incident with a tree but it wasn’t too bad. I hope to go to skiing more often from now on because I had a lot of fun in Spring Break.
