Last Saturday, Rose House had an ice skating event and we went to Lynah Rink with GRF Andrew and SA Caitlan! Though I didn’t have any experience with ice skating, I do have a fair share of experience with rollerblades. That being said, my friends and I all ended up just holding onto the edge of the arena going around in circles until there was a 10 minute break for a tiny truck to resurface the ice!

That being said, I felt that skating on ice was more difficult than skating on wheels. For one, the ice is more slippery than the ground and there are grooves that are dug by the blades on the skates. But despite falling once or twice, this event has definitely piqued my interest in ice skating and I’m actually planning on taking either the ice skating or figure skating courses that Cornell offers as a PE class! And even though we still don’t have any formal training, my friends and I are still planning to go back for another round of ice skating some time in the semester!
