i'm not so great at ice skating. i will admit that unashamedly.
but today wasn't that bad ! my thoughts even wandered from trying to keep myself balanced to "who the heck invented ice skating?" so i came back and i wiki-ed it up and this is what it said. back in the day (we're talking 3,000+BC) primitive people used skates to cross "large, icy" areas on animal bone ice skates. how... interesting.

then my thoughts wandered off to... why didn't my parents push me to do other things besides piano? was it because i was so good at piano (bwahha) and i shouldn't divide my focus on other things? was it because i had already tried it and i just forgot the experience? maybe we didn't have enough resources to provide all those ridiculous lessons. now that i'm older, i reeeeeally wish i learned dance (jazz, hiphop, tap, whatever) b/c i know I have rhythm and i'm not uncoordinated. so with a couple lessons and BAM ! i could be on "so you think you can dance?".

my thoughts also thought about all the figure skaters i watch on tv and how much i lovvvve watching figure skating. one of the guys on the rink was definitely twirling around and doing crazy stuff. some of the guys that came with us were hockey players so they could skate backwards and go reeeally fast. i just stayed my pace. but back to figure skating. it's amazing how balanced they are on one foot. i can't even balance on both feet ! but you know how people say that you won't understand unless you've tried, experienced, tasted, fill-in-the-blank it. so every time i watch figure skaters i am in awe... over and over again.
