Ice Skating

So a couple days ago, the tennis team put forth an idea to go ice skating. (Hurray!!!) We had actually gone last year, and now we just confirmed that we're going to be going on December 17th, five days before my birthday :].
I remember last year. I can only describe it as an epic fail. I remember I was able to skate okay because I knew how to inline skate, but it was just horrible trying to break. I always had to hit the sides of the rink to stop, or try some weird curving technique with my skates. *Sigh.*
Surprisingly, however, despite not knowing any techniques or moves, it was still incredibly fun just going in circles, one after another after another. I don't know what part of me loves it so much, and why other people love it so much too. I suppose it's just a refreshing new experience that won't lose its novelty anytime soon.

Back to the present, the tennis team is actually going up to Bellevue to ice skate. Hopefully this year, I can actually try to do something even quasi-impressive. I've actually been trying to master the crossover and the backwards skate, so we'll see.
Maybe hope to see someone I know there? :].
Have a happy holiday to you, reader.
