So I made the U.S. National Team. I should be more excited, but I'm not only because I know things could've gone better.

The crowd loved my Individual Freestyle, and our double dutch freestyle won the Senior Open division. Our double dutch pairs freestyle tied for second in the Senior Open division, and I got to see a lot of friends from around the country. Those are the things that make me happy.

At first I was going to rant about all the things that went wrong and all the things that pissed me off about the whole commitment to Worlds, but in a decision that was so contrary to my character, I decided not to. It's done. It's over with. I spent a half hour typing out an angry entry but decided to right click, select all, and delete.

Adios everyone, I'm going to be leaving for practice in a little while and staying up in Kirkland at my coach's house for the night. I leave for Texas at 4 tomorrow morning and I don't think I'll be back until....Sunday? So until then....

Life has been crazy lately. I hope after January things will slow down...between all this jump rope and school work I never get to see anyone anymore. I just miss being with people. Bleh.

Interesting. My Spanish teacher thought I used an online translator to cheat my way through an essay. I went to talk to her during lunch, whereupon she decided to put my true skills to the test. "Ok write an introductory paragraph on your own." So I wrote one, all the while thinking "this is going to be the most kick ass introduction you have ever read". I gave up and handed it to her, trying to keep the signs of my anger from flitting across my face. She liked it. So the whole ordeal was either:
1.) a big compliment. "It was so good I thought you were cheating."
OR
2.) a big insult. "This is way above your intellectual level."

I'll let it slide...this time...




I was at Brittany's house today and she found a bunch of Milky Way candy bars in her gymnastics bag....it was the worst moment of my life because I couldn't eat them. But neither could she, because in support of my endeavour she has decided to take up the jump rope diet with me Bwahaha

Today marks the start of my competition diet.

I was sort of on a diet before, but this is fer realz. Yesterday my coach had a big party at her big house to celebrate our last hours of freedom before we begin the competition health plan. Needless to say, I consumed six slices of pizza, a root beer, and several cinnamon apple slices before the luxury could be stolen from me.

Today also has a special significance....sufficeth to say, the mystery of kissing in the rain has been revealed to me, though I'm sure no one else has done it in a jump rope.
