Just so everyone knows, my learn to skate lessons didn't do me in. I wasn't cryo-genically frozen the minute I stepped on the ice. What really happened is I got buried beneath a pile of text books, papers, and empty cans of Red Bull.
The XIC staff knows I'm still in college, but for my new friends, I am a senior at Wingate University, currently cranking out 24 credit hours of classes to graduate on time (16 days to go!). So with 8 classes, a couple papers a week, tests, a social life, and a busy hockey season, I will admit that I couldn't hack it.(and if you can't take the heat .. get off the ice)
With that in mind, I am FINALLY finishing up my last round of classes, I've bought the cap & gown, I've avoided stepping on the Wingate seal for 4 years now (urban legend says you won't graduate on time if you do), I've gotten my 40 lyceums, and I'm diligently planning out my exam study schedule & writing those last papers before I can get a handshake & a piece of paper.
So! .. Friday night, I am accomplishing something on my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days (I'll post that next!)! I am going to Learn to Curl with the Charlotte Centre Curling Club! If you've never curled before, I hear its a lot of fun, and they do some post curling activities that really quench one's thirst. So if you're around, Learn to Curl, XIC, Friday night, 7, On the ice, $10, Lots of fun, and yours truly (that last one makes it all practically worth it). If you're too wimpy, well .. I'll do it for you!
See you on the ice!
