What was it like when you first got on the ice?

I went for my older brothers 10th birthday and I had a dream the night before that I was going to be as good as Michelle Kwan. I had never skated before and I though I was already going to be able to do triple Axel's and Split jumps. And when I got on, I was shockingly awful, I fell over 5 times and it was just awful...what was yours like?
