I got a brand new pair of rollerskates
I was so excited to try out my new rollerskates last night, I already had them on in the car before we got to campus. I asked Jerermy if where we were going would be smooth surface. I forgot to ask if it would be hilly and near a river. I get out of car, we are over by where you can rent canoes on campus, I start taking little baby step with the rollerskates. What I am doing resembles walking more than rolling. I feel old. Jerermy says "It gets smoother over here" and disapears down a hill and around the corner. I start going down the hill and start trying to lift my skates, either to slow myself down or gain control, I a not quite sure. Now I feel young as I find myself in pain ass on the ground. My Right hand is all scrapped and my left ass cheeck hurts. For a moment I panic because I can't see Jeremy. I feel like at any moment I could turn into a cartoon with my eyes gushing out water. Luckily Jeremy saunters back with a grimace on his face. I tried to be a good sport and rollerskate around the parking lot for a bit. The excursion was about ten minutes, I promised that the rollerskates would not end up on the shelf. I am going to practice a little more in the basement first before I take on the unpredictable outdoor terrian. Learning to stop might help too.
