disaster!

Monday morning bright and early. looking forward to a five hour long skating session with my teacher and some friends. so really looking forward to it. we got there at 10 , ready to start the session as soon as it started, laced up and got on, it was empty, really smooth so that was good, unfortunately for us we all forgot that its the holidays so it got really packed really fast. mashed up ice here we come. after an hour of being there the public have completely wrecked the ice and you could barely stand on it let alone skate on it. it can't get any worse, OK I lie it can. was just about to get off to grab Loren's bag when I oh so perfectly landed in a very nicely dug out pot hold someone had so kindly made in the ice, so naturally I fell, knees and shins are bruised all over, swollen palms, badly bruised hips and not a very happy Casey, so hey don't worry nothing else could possibly go wrong, can it? well here's where Todd proved me wrong. my teacher was helping me practising tucks and spins as well as reverse crossovers when Todd came shooting round the corner grabbed me, slipped and brought us both down on the ice extremely hard. like I wasn't in enough pain as it is. so in the end I was advised to just take it easy and come back when everyone is back at school. funnily enough I agreed. so to sum the session up, it was a disastrous practice of balance, backwards crossovers, forward crossovers, spins, tucks and of course making pineapple shapes in the ice. now its time to go lick my wounds or something like that.
