I felt really bad today… maybe I’m still sick, maybe I’m having a girl moment, but I was not feeling very confident in class today. In fact I got off the ice about 15 minutes in because my self-esteem just plummeted and sat it out. But then some people came and told me it was going to be okay and asked if I needed knee or elbow pads No, I needed to stop being so bad! One guy suggested I go to the open session an hour later to practice while the place was less full and didn’t move so quickly.

So… I went! It was a lot better. At first I was nervous, and one of the staff guys suggested I try hockey skates. I did and they were really really really hard. I don’t know who in the world is skating with hockey skates, but they are the devil. But it helped me when I got back into the figure skates because once I saw how much harder it COULD be, suddenly skating became a lot easier Now I’m just working on control and less on balance. Man… fucking hockey skates… who the hell uses those…

This cheered me up. Mustache faces

And I’ll always like this picture
