Ice skating, yay!

So today, I woke up at 9h00, got up at 9h15, and was ready to leave at 10h30. Warm clothing included jeans, hoodie, arm warmers, beanie cap, and bandanna :P Kept me quite warm.

Lisa picked me up around 11h15. Got to Logitech Ice (Sharks Ice) around 11h35. Albert and Christine were already there. Got caught up with them; it's been quite a while since we actually hung out. Amy wasn't there because she was sick ): Sad.

So the four of us went in and paid $12 to skate and to rent skates. At first, we all got the regular blue skates. They felt weird and made me feel like I was out of balance. Even when I wasn't on the ice. Felt weird that the blades weren't straight on the shoes but slightly diagonal. Most of the weight had to be placed on the outside of my foot. Skated like that for a while. But Albert and I couldn't get it very well haha. So we switched to hockey skates 'cause I'm relatively more comfortable with those.

Got to skate for about two hours. Ankles hurt because of the first pair of skates. Knee hurt a bit because I was straining for balance throughout the session haha. Realized my right hockey skate was rubbing too much against the back of my calf. Sat down and checked it. Rubbed raw T-T but only a small area. Took off one of my arm warmers and cushioned the back of my leg, but it still stung a little ):

During the skating, I talked with everyone a bit. About school, graduation, the shooting in Tucson, etc.

Anyway, we were done skating at 13h30. Decided to go to lunch, but took a while to decide where. Drove to the nearest plaza. Because we weren't making a decision haha, I said, "Ok, someone, take a step in a direction toward food." Christine took a step and led us to Panera Bread XD Yay, sandwiches haha. I got a hot panini (tomato and mozarella on ciabatta bread), an apple, and an iced chai tea latte. Tasty and healthy :D Haha Lisa got extra chicken noodle soup for free. Why does she keep getting free food? >_>

Hm, I wonder if it's always gonna rain every time we go ice skating haha. It rained on the day we went ice skating last year too.

Anyway, I was home by 15h00. Early haha.

Today was fun :)
