So this past week was spirit week at school, honestly I didn't see much school spirit, BUT.....the best thing was on Thursday they had Pond Skimming! What you ask is Pond Skimming? I will gladly tell you! So, in one of the fields they have they pile up snow during the winter and it becomes the sledding hill, it is also right by the ice skating rink. So it is a pretty tall hill of snow for people to sled down. So on this occasion they put a pool of water at the bottom of the pool, in whatever degree weather it is outside, the water isn't ice, but I wouldnt want to be in it! So people pay $10 (They get a shirt too), and they dress up in whatever crazy ways they can think of, some people putting on halloween costumes such as cupid, thing 1 & 2, etc. Some people decide to wear less clothes and just go down in shorts.....and so they sled down this hill, most common was a snowboard then skies, some did inner tubes and other things, one guy went down in a lazy boy. And they see how far they can get across the pool. I stay for 2/3 of it, and about 5 people made it to the other side, but only 1 person made it across without falling back in the pool. If you stood on the edge of the pool, as I did, you did get splashed, and you saw how freezing the people were as the shivered getting out. In the midst of everyone it took a while for me to start freezing, but walking home was SO COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it was SOO worth it! =]
