Applied Linguistics on Ice

Yes, it was the moment we've all been waiting for! This past Thursday my professors invited our program to do a little ice-skating. With such an international group, you can imagine that some of us have never touched ice. I luckily was not one of them and stayed on my feet the whole time. However, there were a few of us who were either (a) glued to the wall (b) on their ass or (c) hunched over while being pulled by other classmates or the professors. Then there were some of us like Nikoleta (from Greece) who after five minutes flew past everyone. It was a pretty funny night to say the least. Afterwards, we went to Wander's house (one of my professors) for some great conversation and yummy pizza. The night made me once again realize how lucky I am to be a part of this program and how happy I am with my decision to come here this year.
