Hey! I'm home!! It's sooo exciting. Our hotel was really cool except for the trains that went right by our room every 30 minutes and the scary rapist guy that roamed the halls attempting to pick up us irls in our bathing suits, but it was really fun. Ok as to how I did, 3 firsts a second a fourth and a fifth. Not too bad. I got fifth in freestyle which couldve been a third if I had thought faster, but it's really hard to thik under pressure like that. See what happened is they changed the combonation jump in 6 about twoyears ago from a waltz jump half loop flip, to an axel half loop flip, a huge step up. It took a while but I finally got it consistant. But that is completely besides the point. In my program I fell on the axel and got up and kept going which was a good thing to do but to the judges who don't know my program that couve just ben an axel attempt and not my cmbo attempt therefore receiving zero points instead of a deduction. If I had just thrown in a waltz jump half loop flip at the end of my program I wouldve gotten the deduction and been third. grrrrr. Oh well. It was craziness cuz they had us warm up and then there was a half an hour between warmup and when I skated so it was like going out there and not even warming up. I had an awesome warm up. I did everything but my back sit, even my double sal...shocker to me... but when I got out there I had nothin. But I'm not disappointed, there was some illegalness in my group anyways which was crap but it's like that in figure skating. I was soo mad when I found out the night before at practice ice. I was crying and then I resorted to counting orange barrels on the highway. Ohio is the orange barrel capital of the world. ok recap: first in footwok, producton, and dance, second in dramatic (shouldve been a first but the judge, Larry, is obsessed wit my split jump and I didnt do a good oe in my program sohe gave me second which isn fair but he's like that) fourth in compulsaries (I was really nervous for that and had an aweful warmup) and fifth in freestlye. I'm really happy to be home. I can't handle a week in the hotelwith y dad and my sister. My dad is sooo competitive and he yelled at me like after every event until the last two which is when Breana's mom gave him a talking to. But until then it was horrible. I couldnt even eat around him. He is such an ass hole. If e wasnt callin me stupid for having forgotten something, I was fat or he couldnt understand why I fell on my double sal or why that girl who was illegal beat me...uhduh!! welp yesterday was moms bday so I hav to go sing to her now aaahhhheeemmmm. BYEEE!!!
