Schussel Fahren

I have never been very good at ice skating, I think it is gods way of telling me that he should be the only one to walk on water... thats what I think anyway. Normally when I go ice skating, I am skating in an inside rink that is nice and sleek, and even then I still fall...alot.

My counselor had a day off and wanted to take me with his family to go ice skating. I was thinking we were going to be indoors, the ice would be really nice to skate on and there wouldent be alot of people there... but three swings, and three misses were my guesses.

We arrived there and it was snowing, I am not a big fan of the cold, and usually im a sore sport when it comes to activites like that. I decided to be different minded this time, and try to make the most of it.. once we walked up the steps I noticed that the rink was outside...and there were A Lot of people. I finally made it through the line and stepped onto the Ice. I looked at the ice and it was covered in snow, and it was really rigged. To make matters worse there were kids there.... no offense to anyones children but for some reason children dont see the danger in going as fast as they can pushing themselves inbetween people and than laying right in the middle of the rink. It was like dodge ball with the kids because once you saw that they were coming you quickly moved as far as you could away from them or you would be in big trouble. I started off going really slow, taking my time, and most of all not falling. Not falling was my only goal the entire time, I didnt care how slow I went just as long as I didnt fall. In the end I did set my goal and I did not fall once, but I think I did make other people fall.... I actually had alot more fun than I had expected, but towards the end of Ice skating there were so many people that It took me 15 mintues just to exit out of the rink. I was glad that I got off the Ice when I did though because there was about a 15 kid pile up right in the middle of everyones way.. I did feel bad laughing when I just saw a huge chunk of people fall, but I dont think anyone saw me laughing or else I would have some really angry parents on me.

After Ice skating my counselor took me to go eat, where once again the I discovered the portions here, I asked for a salami pizza thinking they would just give me two slices, but they gave me an entire pizza. I thought I ordered wrong when I looked around and every who had pizza were eating a full pizza. Of course I didnt want to offend germany so I did eat the whole thing... well actually I ate the whole thing because it was really good, but I think it makes me feel less guilty for eating a whole week of calories when I say it was for the good of mankind to eat it :D.

Next time I go ice skating though I will make sure to wear warmer clothes, and than when I go out to eat, I will order a salade.. hey maybe ill get the whole cabage to eat :D
