He was there for 15 minutes without being cold. Isn't it marvelous? The next day everything was changed.
2002-01-26 Skating with the ESL Class at RRCC - I am hurt.
We were only nine persons who started 2:15 PM from the College.
After a drive for 15 minutes we came to the skating hall.
I thought we should skate out-doors but it was in-doors.
We paid $6,25 for two hours skating including renting the skating boots.
I went out on the ice a little scared for what was going to happen.
In the beginning I wondered why I did not fall. It was the first time in 40 years that I skated.
After a while it seems for me that I was doing well.
I speeded up a little and then a little more,
and suddenly I fell forwards so quickly that I did not reach to protect my self with my hands.
My body touched the ice in a very high speed.
I lost all the air in my lungs. I could not breathe and it was hurting. I stood still for a while until I could breathe again.
Then I went on skating but a little slower.
After some time I speeded up again and I fell again in the same way. I do not know why.
Now I was really hurt but still skated carefully for an hour or so.
Just before we would stop skating I fell again.
But this time I fell on my right side and hurt my knee, my elbow and my thigh just under my hip.
Buy the way I did well I think.
I have lost some skin on my knee and elbow and I have a 6 cm wide and 1 cm high bump on my right thigh just under my hip.
But the worst is that my chest hurt so badly that I have problems breathing.
I am not looking forward to the night. I do not know on which side I am able to sleep.
I think I will have a picture from our trip to the skate hall to scan in to my computer. If so I will send it for you. One of the other guys took pictures.

The first Global Conversation Hour of the semester:
Dear International Students:
Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 30 will be the first Global Conversation Hour of the semester. Please join us for a casual lunch. Bring your own lunch, buy it in the cafeteria, or just watch others eat! Meet in the Cafeteria at any open table at 12:30pm. This is an opportunity to talk with other students at the college, brainstorm activities to do together, speak with the Coordinator of International Education, and just relax. Feel free to invite friends too!
I would like to plan an activity for Friday afternoon; bring your ideas about a Friday activity to Global Conversation Hour on Wednesday.
Some students are planning to go skiing with RRCC on Saturday, Feb. 2. If you'd like to join them, see Chief Mackey in Police Services, 303-914-6498.
See you tomorrow! Betsy Fanton
