LAKESIDE OPENING (2)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lakeside is opening in 10 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait. As I stated in my other post, the opening is on Friday the 20th. The awesome thing about Lakeside is that you can get a seasonal pass, which means that you bring this pass each time you go skating, and it'll provide you for the entire season. Here is a picture of what Lakeside is supposed to look like:

On the right is what Lakeside will look like in the summer, a water play area and roller skating rink, and on the left, (what I'm excited about) is what Lakeside will look like in the winter, the skating rink. Feel free to comment and tell about what part of Lakeside you are especially excited about

LAKESIDE OPENING!!!!!

I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For you ice skaters out there,Prospect Park's ice skating rink was renovated a  few years ago. For about 2 years, Lakeside ( the new name for the rink) has said they would open, but never did. BUT NOW, LAKESIDE SENT OUT A EMAIL SAYING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO OPEN ON  DEC. 20th ! That is 18 days from now! I am in a convenient  location, so I can get to the rink in about 5 minutes! It is said that the rink will be HUGE (2 rinks actually, one for hockey and one for regular skating/ figure skating), and just 4 months  ago I went on a tour of the construction site and it's true! the rinks are really huge! I plan to practice everyday when I come home from school.

WINTER OLYMICS!!!

Hello,

The Winter Olympics are being hosted this year (2014) and I am so excited! For figure skating fans, 

who do you think will win? My personal favorite is Kim Yuna, who won the 2010 Winter Olympics. Her score was 228.56, a new world record! I wonder if she'll have another go at the gold this year... Mao Asada came in second place, and she had a total score of 205.50. Please feel free to comment and tell me about your personal favorites :-)

Essays

Essays. Pftt. Maybe...

Today I discovered something: essays can be fun! I know they might not seem so, but if you are interested in the topic you are writing about, it's actually really nice! Once you get into the topic, you get absorbed in your writing so fast, it's unbelievable! Today I wrote about how zoos are harmful. It doesn't seem likely right? But it's true. So, if you're writing an essay in the future, or currently, try to look on the bright side. You never know what or where essay writing can get you...
