Camp- Day 2

Sorry, i got sidetracked.....
'



6:30am- GOD! Mykayla's alarm went off early!!! and now i cant go back to sleep.
7:00am- So after hopelessly laying in bed for half an hour tryingt o get rest, i realized... 3 days of hard hard hard practice. Im kinda scared. Anyways im gonna get up and do my hair so i can go to breakfast before the rush.
7:30am- Breakfast was good, eggs, toast. I just got dressed and I'm gonna leave for gym now.

12:30pm- SOMEONE KILL ME! not really, but how am i going to survive, 5 more practices like these?! Heres the run-down


Vault-Vault wasn't bad at all, we did lots of round-off drills and didn't even go over the vault..?
Bars- Valeri is gone, we have Tom Foster, i really like this guy! We worked on casting with straight arms and tight bodies(mornings are basics...)
Beam- And the trouble begins.... sooo beam basics, not my thing!! I was shaky and wobbly and all over the place, and you wanna know the worst part? MARTA WAS RIGHT THERE! Gosh it was so scary having her yell at me over and over. I just wanted to cry(but of course i didn't because that would lead to more yelling and that would make matters worse.
Floor- Not bad, we went across the floor doing tons or roundoffs, front-handsprings, etc. It was really tiring though because it was back and forth with no rest for 35 mins.
Dance- i Thought i would get a little rest at dance, but boy was i wrong. So much releve, and lifts, and ballet words that i dont exactly know... not fun. But i got through it!

Lineup- Scary stuff man. I mean she yells line up and you better be in line before she takes another step.She basically said good job, see you tonight. And we are dismissed.


1:30- Okay i ate lunch and I am watching stick it right now. I'm really tired, I don't know how I am going to get through evening practice...


3:30- Practice is at 4:30, so I fixed my hair and i am putting on my leo now. Gary told us to be at least 30 minutes early so I'll be taking off in half an hour. BOY IS IT COLD RIGHT NOW!!!!


3:55- Off to gym, check in tonight!



8:00pm- Well I'm alive, and theres something to be said for that am I right?

Bars- We did strap bar work, Tom loves my stalders and even showed me a new trick which is basically a stalder with crossed hand? Very confusing, but could be cool.
Beam- Went a little better, we had to do everything in our routines, just over and over so Tammy could pull us over and give us drills to make the skills better. She likes my flic lay.
Floor- We just tumbled, I did lots of triples and double backs and front twisting, it went by way fast.
Dance- We did leap work across the floor. It is really hot back there!
Vault- Just vaulted, I did a bunch of layouts. I got a lot better at them today, hopefully i can twist tomorrow.

Sorry if it got short, I am just soooo tired......


9:00pm- Showered, and ready to go to bed, it looks soft! Night everyone!

2 more days 2 more days!

<3Always(even if i die here!)

Camp: Day 1

Hello everyone, great news... I SURVIVED! lol, haha anyways, i would have posted but i couldn't find internet, sorry. But i wrote these throughout my days so here they are!....


Day One:

5:30 AM- Ughh, I'm up. Gotta go to Lisa's house. Can someone please get me a starbucks?
6:00AM- John is driving us to the airport....
7:35AM- Getting on the plane...
2:00PM- Got off plane, barely got any sleep, yuck! I have strength testing later today!!!
5:00PM- Made it to the camp, me and Mykayla are in room 27, which sucks because its the furthest away and its super freezing outside! Gym starts in 30 minutes so I have to hurry getting ready, I'll check in after gym.
8:15PM- WOAH! I did pretty well on my strength testing, I maxed everything out but piked leg lifts, those are killers! But after that we had 15 minutes on each event, started on vault and we worked the whole time on perfecting our arm swing for our run!
After we went to bars where... VALERI LIUKIN, was coaching us!!!! It was so cool, we worked on casting, he is really picky about straight arms.
Beam, beam, beam.... Tammy wasnt there today]: hopefully she will be tomorrow, but we had some coach I've never heard of before and we did beam complex, which is super hard. You can't come down from releve! My calves are sore!
Floor. Was super weird! we did back extenstion rolls and roundoffs the whole time. But it made me tired!
Dance. I can't understand what the dance teacher is saying... Such a thick accent, but we did work on pointing our feet and going up in releve.
That was my day at gym...
9:00PM-I just finished my shower, which wasn't bad, just cold at the end! Dinner was lasaunga, yumyumm!!! But I'm super tired and am going to bed.

Some Stuff

I couldn't figure out a good title sorry.

SO i found its easier to get my point across using the numbers, what do you guys think?

well here we go....

1. Again, camp is on Saturday, and stefs not going, which is very disappointing. But the show must go on. Hopefully, I will do well enough to get invited back.
2. Yesterday was pretty exciting because I landed a triple full dismount off beam and an arabian double off the rod floor. I hope those skills will catch the national team staffs attention.

So yeah, sorry about all the short posts I'm just busy lately, but no fear, right after camo I'll give you guys a full look at camp, so look out for that!
