My goal "slipped" away from me, yet again
It's just not meant to be.
My life goal is to go outdoor ice skating somewhere downtown at night--preferably at Millennium Park.
Every time I try to go there, however, it just doesn't work out.
It's actually happened three times.
1) A few years ago, for a BHUSY program, but it was canceled for some unknown reason. Instead, we had our amazing Downtown Dessert Hop.
2) Pre-convention. It was too cold (for the Californians...I could have taken it!), so we went to Navy Pier and skated indoors instead.
3) Tonight. I went with another chapter. We got there, only to discover that Millennium Park was already booked by a private party that reserved it only a night or two before. Sad. So we went to Navy Pier. And went on the Ferris Wheel. And that was about it.
I don't get it. It's a really simple life goal. I'm not aiming to make world peace, to be a doctor, or even to win the Pulitzer Prize. All I want to do is to go ice skating.
But no. That goal is slowly slipping away. It's melting, leaving me in the cold.
