First week in Vermont

---

Well we got up bright and early, and admittedly not feeling 100% after being out late celebrating our last night in NYC the night before. Caught the subway to JFK airport - a mission in itself when you're carrying all your bags, and flew up to Burlington.
We were met at the airport by Marta and Allison, two uvm students who'd landed the job of picking up the international kids and showing them around.

For the first few days there were no american students here, so we got to know some of the international kids really well. we went to a few parties at different people's houses, mostly Allison and Marta's and their friends. Was good fun.

We got a good snowfall on the friday night and saturday, and tom and i went to one of the little slopes nearby for a bit of a refresher for him and my first time on a snowboard. had a few runs down the little hill (it was only about 5m vertical!) and got bored cos there was only enough time to get one turn in.

Sunday was freezing. I mean really freezing. Like minus 17 degrees and windy. We went for a walk around to try and find a bigger and better hill for a bit of snowboarding but didn't find one. Its amazing how cold you can get even wearing all the warm clothes you've got, including down snowboard jackets. That night we went to Allison's for a bit of a party, and Tom and I beat Allison and the Austrian Tom at beer pong twice in a row.

Alright, i took this picture later, but this is from the car park in front of our residence hall. It's mount mansfield, the highest peak in vermont.
