We Tried..

We've been trying to do this for about 3 FHE nights and we finally did it. Every winter they build an ice-rink by the upper fields here on campus. And we've talked about going ever since the beginning of the semester. First it was too cold, then people didn't want to and finally FINALLY we committed. But alas.. it has been a little bit warmer here lately (which means in the 30's not the 20's) and we go up to the rink and they tell us that the rink is a little wet and that it's not ideal to skate on. But we went all the way and we weren't about to bail out yet again so we go for it.

It was more slush skating than ice-skating, snagging your skates on a soft patch of ice every two feet. But it was fun. We got some good trains going and pushing each other around.

I call it a success just not when it came to the actual ice-skating. I got my pictures and that's all I needed. We then retreated back to our apartment when our feet felt sore enough for some good ol hot cocoa.
