Skating quote of the night
"You're right, it's a crock of sh*t, the ice is hard" -group skating instructor, after telling me there was no need to fear falling, you just get right back up. And I told him that I tell that to all my students "the ice isn't scary", "the ice will catch you", "it doesn't hurt, you just get right back up"- but I don't believe it at all. He played the "oh, falling isn't bad" card for one more second, then whispered agreement once the kid closest to me skated away.

That made me smile.


(His lesson, however, didn't make me smile. I feel like I'm getting nowhere on backspins. Though the footwork work was kind of fun)
