The best thing about term 2 happened during winter break. Actually, more than one thing happened that was really good. I’ll just say one of them. Christmas is in winter break so people have all these big parties right? Well, my mom’s working place had a Christmas party! The party was at 8 rinks, we went skating. The skating rink was decorated with all these lights and other Christmas decorations. Beside the skating rink there is a special little room. Inside the room there is hot chocolate, cookies, coffee, and cupcakes. There is a restaurant there too, her work place made reservations there. In the restaurant there was fried chicken, salad, pizza, and drinks.

We stayed there for quite a while (from 1:00-6:00). I don’t actually know how to skate, I’ve never taken any lessons and nobody has ever taught me. So, I had to just try myself. For safety we all had to wear helmets, I didn’t like how it felt. I was sweating really badly, I had to wear snow pants and a snow jacket. In the middle of skating, I was sweating so badly the back of my jacket was wet! It was kind of embarrassing because I was 11 years old and I still had to use the little help cart thingies. I tried to skate without the carts but it was very hard. I skated for like 3 seconds then I fell. I started to get better at it and my mom told me that it was time to get food at the restaurant. So, I started skating towards the gate. I was very close to the gate so I decided to try and speed up. I was doing pretty well, but just then I tripped and fell on my butt. For some reason, my helmet fell off and it’s probably because I didn’t wear it properly. I was too lazy to skate anymore and my butt hurt, so I crawled to the gate. I went upstairs to get food. The food was delicious, I had lots of chicken, a slice of peperoni pizza, and salad.

You might remember me saying that there is a special room with cookies, hot chocolate, coffee, and cupcakes. Well. In that room there’s Santa and he gives out gifts based on your age and gender. I had lots of fun and I got 2 hula hoop thingies. I think this was the best part of term 2.
