In this first part I tell you all real events from a third person perspective and I hope you guys like it. After all it was minus 27 degrees and I almost died.

It sounds very fancy especially when one starts to garner compliments for their writing. That is exactly when one should be careful with what they are writing; as it can be very easy to lose track.
