Explaining

I guess I probably should explain the real reason I haven't had time to right the past couple of months and that is because I haven't wanted to have time because I didn't want to write about gym. Because the past two months I've been trying not to cry every time that I have to go to gym or do things at gym. I did have things to write about, lots, but they weren't happy things they were things like I don't want to be there, I'm sick of it, I can't do this anymore, it hurts too much, and the list goes on. The reason I didn't ever write was because I didn't want to be at gym anymore. And it took me a month and a half to even find a way to put the words together so that I could talk to my mom about it. And then it took me a couple of weeks to get it into her brain what I really wanted and needed. And now all I have left to say is, I'm done. I quit (or as some people put it "retired")gymnastics at the beginning of this past week. I feel free, happy, excited, and most of all blessed that I can have a mom and dad who will let me do this and stop what I've spent the last nine years doing so that I can be happy. Thank you. I will miss my friends, but I wont miss gymnastics not in the sense of doing it. So this has been a gymnast's diaries, but it no longer is.
I now am a dancer.

In memory of my gymnastics life here is some pictures from over the years.
PS: There's a lot so...

Favorite Song!

I think this is my new favorite song.


Kellie Pickler Ft. Taylor Swift - Best Days of Your Life

Kellie Pickler |MTV Music

Especially since it has Taylor Swift in it and you all know that she is my favorite singer! And if you don't then you have definitely been under a rock for a while. Haha! Just kidding!

Total Spring Break

Well as you can see it has ended up that instead of it just being my spring break it is also blog spring break cause I have been bad and haven't wrote all week! But I'll write now so it's OK. I'll give you a really short sum of what I've done all week.

So Monday I had a after gym me, Sadie, and Kendall all had a sleep over. It was the most fun I've had in awhile. I love those girls!!! We did some really sill, stupid, and slightly weird things, but it was sooooooo much fun!!! Tuesday after gym it took awhile to get home cause Mom and I went and got some candy for Easter and then we went and took pictures , but I didn't really get to do very much when we got home cause I only had time to eat and then start to do my homework. Lets just say this, I didn't finish my homework. Bana came and picked me and the boys up. When I got to her house she gave me a Easter dress!! It is soooooo cute!!! When Dad got there we had dinner and then Bana took me shopping to look for shoes and another Easter dress!! We didn't find another dress, but we did find these waaaaay cute flip flops! On Wednesday I went to Young Women and we served the widows. It was lots of fun. I love gong to Young Women especially since I don't normally get too! On Thursday I made a card for Serin. It turned out really good!! Tonight we went to the movie "Push" with Daddy and now I have to go take a shower so that I'm not a mess tomorrow at the Easter party!! Again SORRY!! I WANT TO SEE THE HANNAH MONTANA MOVIE!!!

New skills

We did ballet after conditioning and then we went to Bars. Me and Sadie did giants first and then we went over to the pit Bar and did back tuck to our backs form swings. We then went to strap Bar and did timers for Stalders (not sure if that's how you spell it). And then when we were done with that we went to Beam. I worked on back handspring aerials onto the mat for a while and then when I thought that they felt pretty good I tried it on the Floor. I stuck them and I think they were mostly good, but I still need to work on them lots and I need to go higher so that it doesn't hurt my ankle so much. I did switch leaps next and now my hip hurts from so many leaps!!! AAAAAA!!! After I stretched I went and got dressed for dance really fast and then Mom took me up there.

When I got to dance Kaylee wasn't there because she is out of town so we had Heather!! After about 45 minutes of technique we went over the "Storm" dance since I couldn't really remember it. We then did pointe for a half hour and then alternated between "Storm" and "Wild Things" for the last half hour. Now I have to go to bed! So see ya!!

State Weekend

3/29

Sorry I didn’t write Friday night or Saturday night! I just got so busy!! I might not be able to remember everything, but I’ll try the best I can to let you know what I did.

3/27

After I wrote on Friday I ate my food and then Lena called and said that she and Khyla would come and pick me and Mom up and take us to the Level 9 meet!! The girls did awesome!! Floor was first. Kendall did fall, but she still got a 8.45!! Taylor did amazing as usual! She got a 9.075!!! Go Taylor!! Their Vaults were also very good!! I’m so proud of them!! On Bars Taylor did awesome, but Kendall had a hard time because for some really weird reason – this never happens to her – she fell on her free hip and her dismount. Oh, Kendall! I think you need a hug!! After we talked to her for a while she stopped crying and we could sit there and have fun. Kendall stuck her Beam again!!! Taylor had a one fall, but she still got an 8.35!! I sat with them for awards and they all got awesome places! Kendall got 9th in the All Around and Taylor got 5th! We had to leave before they did Team Awards, but I think that they got 2nd place. We went to the store on the way back to the house and Mom got some food to make Chicken Spaghetti for lunch on Saturday. When we got back to the house I got in my PJs and went to bed….
Here’s the Lvl 9 scores:

Vault Bars Beam Floor AA
Kendall 8.85 7.40 8.80 8.45 33.50
Taylor 8.925 8.70 8.35 9.075 35.05
McKenna 8.925 8.80 9.25 7.90 34.875

Shireen 8.425 9.375 9.025 9.00 35.825
Brittany 8.725 9.00 9.05 8.975 35.70


3/28

When I woke up Saturday Mom told me that I had a half hour to get ready and then we had to leave for Duncan’s clogging competition. I did it though it was a little hard to eat and get everything ready in time, but I managed. When we got to the competition Duncan went and found his class and sat with them. While we were waiting Mom and I sat and watched the dances. After a little bit we went and found the clothes stands and stuff like that and we ended up getting me two shirts and we found this shirt that had ‘CLOG’ in bubble letters and in the ‘C’ it said ‘clog’ in lots of different styles, but the size that we found wouldn’t fit Duncan so we just kept looking and then I found one!! So now Duncan has that shirt and he’s been wearing it all weekend. Duncan and Alyssa did great!!! They were a little off of the music, but they still ended up getting a 1st place. They were both awesome in free style too! Duncan got 1st and I think Alyssa did too! When we were waiting for the scores to be posted Mom sat me down and did my hair. She had to redo it a lot because it felt to loose or she didn’t like how it looked or something and then when we got back to the house all of the elastics were popping so she had to do it yet again! After that I sat and read my book and then we had lunch and I read for a little after that, but then I got tired so I had a nap.

When I woke up from my nap I got ready for my meet and then pretty soon we were off!! We got to it early so I sat around for a little while and then it was time to start. After open stretch we did walk in and they gave each team a car that said the name of the gym on it and we all decided that we wanted to take it to the gym and hang it up!! Floor was first just like the Level 9s. I was 3rd so I had to warm up pretty fast. I felt like it was a pretty good routine and Ilia said he was happy with it so that was good. I wasn’t thinking I’d get any awesome score, but guess what!?!…9.2!!! Oh, yeah!!! Sadie did an awesome routine as well!! I stuck both of my Vaults, but Ilia said that I would have gotten a lot higher score if I had kept my legs tight in my round off, but I still got an 8.75 so YAY!! On Bars Sadie had a bad fall on her free hip and her dismount, but instead of just a normal fall it was where on her free hip she slipped as she was coming up and she did a flip onto her back and on her giant-giant-layout she did the first giant and when she was coming down to do the second one she pealed off the bar and did a very scary dismount to her back again. I didn’t know what to do to help her and she wouldn’t really talk when you tried to talk to her. ~sigh~ I did my Bar routine and apparently it was good cause I got a 8.7 so that’s good. On Beam I went crooked on my series in warm up and then when I went for it in my routine it was straight, but not all the way straight so even though I tried really hard to stick it I still fell. I stuck the rest of it though!! I thought that it was a good routine other than my fall, but I guess not cause I got a 7.95. Sadie on the other hand though didn’t even want to compete Beam after what happened on Bars and it ended up that she did the most amazing routine and got a 9.1!! I’m hoping that will give Sadie back some confidence she was losing on Beam.

When we were all done we sat down on the Floor and waited for awards to start. While we waited me and my friend Stephanie from GTC kept on switching where we would sit one minute I’d sit with the GTC girls and then the next she would sit with me and my friends. I did pretty good in the awards I mean its not like I’m doing this just for the awards, but sometimes it’s fun to be able to say that you won. Anyway I tied for 4th place on Vault, 6th on Bars, 10th on Beam, and…….1st on FLOOR!!!! YAY!!! I’m still overly happy about getting 1st on Floor. I’m not sure when I’ll get over that maybe never. I didn’t think that I had qualified for Regionals, but I did. Micaela, Paige, Abby, Hope, Hannah, and Kim also qualified. Hannah and Kim qualified for the Regional Team. I’m not really sure what that means, but it’s still cool!!!

When the awards were over I talked with Steph and she invited me to go swimming with her and her friends from GTC. I wanted to go, but Khyla had also invited me to go swimming with her and I didn’t want to leave Khy out so I invited her to come with Steph and me. Khyla ended up not going swimming at all because she had forgotten her goggles and didn’t want swim without them. I went swimming with Steph while my friends in my class all had a party together, without inviting me of course. I’m slightly bugged by that, but oh well. I had lots of fun with Steph, Madi, Frannie, Lauren, and some of the girls from Air Bound so whatever. When I got back to the house it was late so I went straight to bed.

Here’s the scores for Lvl 8:

Vault Bars Beam Floor AA
Drew (me!!) 8.75 8.60 7.95 9.20 34.50
4T 6 10 1 7

3/29


When I woke up this morning I had to race to get all of my stuff packed so that we would leave at 11:00. I felt like I was a little rushed, but it ended up OK cause I got everything packed. When we stopped for gas on our way out of town I got a drink and a snack, which ended up lasting me the whole ride home!! I read my book at first, but then Mom wanted us to watch a movie called “Fist Full of Dollars” it was actually pretty good. It wasn’t the best and not very much happened, but it was good. When the movie was over the boys wanted to watch “Iron Man” and I didn’t really feel like watching another movie so I read my book for the rest of the ride and it went by really fast!!! When we got home I sat down and read more of my book, but then Mom made me go and unpack. When I was done I went and read my book some more. And now I’m almost done with it!!!

Morning workout!!!

So since my friends don't have school today we did morning workout and then we're going to have normal workout later. We only had an hour so we did conditioning fast then Ilia sent us to Beam. We did dance routines for about 15 minutes. It was hard! Don't believe me well next time you're at the gym at 9:30 in the morning and you're half awake and half asleep try doing a dance routine on the Beam. It's not as easy as it sounds. We went to Bars next and did the front tuck drill things. I'm really getting better at them!! We were done after that and now that I'm home I should probably do my homework and get some food before I die!!!

Routines!!

Beam was first and guess what we had to do!?! Routine!! Yay. Not. Anyway I didn't stick my first routine, but I stuck the next one and since I was close to falling on my full turn I asked Ilia if I could work on them and he was fine with it so...I did. My series though those were good in my routine. They were sooooo straight!!! We went to Floor next and my routine was really really really good!! My front tuck front tucks were high and like normally my other two passes where good. Next was Bars. My routine felt really good today. I don't think I've done a routine that good in a while!! When we were almost done with Bars Ilia told us to do these thingys where you swing and then do a front tuck off the Bar as you're dismount. Well, the swinging for it was really hard and Ilia kept getting mad at us and I don't get why! I mean it's like he thought that we should be able to do it perfectly our first time! I never ended up flipping into the pit cause the weren't good enough. I really felt like slapping Ilia after that. We were done after that so I stretched and was DONE!!


When we got home I read my book for a little while and then went up stairs and watched the last three events of the Utah vs. BYU gymnastics meet. Utah did awesome!!! BYU didn't do the best, but they had a couple really good routines!!! I'm really tired now so I'm going to go to bed now.

Comp day

Beam was first today. After I was done warming up I went for my routine and sadly I fell, but I stuck my next one so it was OK. And I think that's pretty good considering the fact that we only had a half hour to do Beam and it took 20 minutes for all four of us to warm up. So really I had ten minutes to do my routine! I know I'm so good. We went to Bars next and my routine was actually pretty good. I worked on free hips afterward, of course, but then finally we were done with Bars and we went to Floor. Floor was actually really good. I stuck my front tuck front tuck easily and they were pretty high too, well I think they were. And last we went to Vault. I went for my Vault and I stuck it so I asked Ilia how many we had to do and he said 'Show me two in a row.' Well me and Sadie thought that he would count it if I stuck the next one so Sadie let me go and I stuck it, but Ilia said 'One more.' So I ended up sticking three really good Vaults...in a row!!!! Yes I'm that good.

When Mommy picked me up we went up to wait for Duncan at dance so I got to sit and read for about 40 minutes. I got pretty far into my book too!!! The boys are watching Harry Potter so I'm going to go and watch it with them now so see ya!

Keeping him happy!!

So when we were starting conditioning Ilia told us that we had to keep really happy today because it was exactly 16 years since he was out of the army and 8 years since he came to the U.S. so I'm not really sure why we would have to try to make him happy about that, but we did anyway.

Hailee asked Ilia to time her on her ropes to see how fast she was going and she got 4.3. I guess that is slow for Hailee. Wow four seconds to climb that is madness! I took six point something which was fast for me!!! Anyway after that Hailee asked Ilia if we could race in conditioning and he didn't care so we did! At first the groups were going to be Hailee, Taylor, and Sadie on one team and Cody, Kendall, and me on the other, but then Ilia was like 'Oh wait! It needs to be Cody, Kendall, and Sadie! So that it can be orange head team!' (if you don't understand the orange head just ask.) So me and Sadie switched teams. My team kept on winning, but then our last couple of things were handstand stuff and my team wasn't so good at handstands well, Hailee was, but me and Tay not so much. Anyway after conditioning we went to Beam and Ilia told me to do back handspring aerials on the floor, but then when I started doing them he said that I needed to do them on to a soft mat and that we would do them later so just to do my leaps. I did leaps for the rest of Beam and then we went to Bars. On Bars we did parts of routines so I did some giants first then half pirouettes and free hips last. My free hips are getting a little better, but they're still pretty crappy. WE went to Floor next and I just did layouts and fulls on to the mat cause I was supposed to work on full and a halfs after fulls, but my fulls weren't good today so I never moved on. We did leaps after that and then Ilia told us to do full pirouettes, blind fulls, and these other blind/half pirouette things on the floor bar. I could only do a half pirouette and a blind half, but I could do the other thingys!!!

When Mommy picked me up from gym we went up to dance and Kalee said that instead of doing technique and pointe we were going to finish learning "Wild Things" and start learning "Storm". The first hour of class Kalee and Kymmerri caught me up with everyone else and then Kalee had us finish the dance so now we're ahead of the others! The second half of class we started "Storm" so we are also ahead in that because Kalee hadn't even started it yet so, yeah. I really like the "Wild Things" dance and I do like "Storm", but it's really hard, confusing, and really really fast!!! EEEK! Anyway I have to go to bed now so see ya!

Keep forgetting

I keep on forgetting to upload this so it's a little off date, but oh well.

If my face was a pizza this is what it would have looked like last week when I was in never ending pain.






To make your on pizza go here and play this math pizza game and then create your own pizza!! Haha!

Well I don't even know what to say...

Like the title says: I don't know what to say, but I'll try to say something interesting, but I can't guarantee.


We went to Floor first, but all we did was dance routines. I'm not really sure why cause even though it's Thursday (so it's easy day) lately it hasn't been as easy cause it's still competition session. Anyway after we did Floor we went and did ballet for a half hour then went to Bars. I did a couple sets of giants then worked on my half pirouettes. They're getting better, but I still need to work on getting to handstand then turning and not touching my feet on the mat. After those I did free hips. As always they aren't very good, but I'm trying so I'm hoping that if I keep working at it that sometime soon I'll finally get it to handstand. We went to Beam next. We only had to do one routine and luckily I stuck my first one. So after I did my routine I worked on leaps. I did that for a while, but then Ilia told all of us to go and stretch.

Daddy picked me up and we went and got some food then went to Bana's house. She isn't doing so good. She doesn't feel good and her back is hurting her again. But I don't want to talk about sad things so lets move on! We stayed at her house for sometime, but then it was time to go. On the way home we stopped at the store and got some juice and some food for breakfast. And now that I'm home I think that I'm going to sit around with Daddy and be happy that for once I'm finished writing on my blog before 11:00 at night.

Go Hailee, Kendall thinks its your birthday, go Hailee...

So we started on Beam and when we were warming up on the Floor Cori (Hailee's mom) came in with balloons, boxes of cookies, and roses. And Kendall looked at them and thought: Is it Hailee's birthday? No. Her birthday is in July. Then when she saw the balloon that said 'Way To Go!' on it she ran over to Ilia and said 'Ilia is Hailee going to Utah!?!' he looks up at her with a I don't know if I'm supposed to say look on his face and says 'Yes.' YAY!!! Hailee is going to Utah!!!! We were all jumping for joy and we couldn't stop! We kept warming up cause we had to, but it was kind of hard especially for me cause when you're trying to do back handsprings straight, but you can't do it because you're in pain and no matter how hard you try you can't put enough weight on one leg it's really hard!!! Ugh! Anyway I went for my routine and of course I didn't stick it because of my series, but I think Ilia was excited for Hailee so instead of telling me to do another routine I only had to do series and then about one minute later when I had my energy back from my routine he told me to do one more series then get my grips on. Well OK Ilia, whatever you say. We went to Bars and by the time that we had our grips on and we were chalked up and ready to start warming up Cori told us that Hailee was there and so we had to go over and take the Balloons and Roses to her. She had the BIGGEST grin on her face I will never forget that! Love you HAILEE! We went back to Bars an warmed up then went for our routines. Mine was pretty good, but as always my free hip wasn't good so I worked on those for the rest of Bars and then we went to Floor. My Floor routine was actually really good!! Well, at least I thought it was. Since we got done with Floor early and it wasn't our time for Vault we waited and while I was waiting I asked Ilia what time we would be done at I guess that since I asked that when it was our time for Vault he asked me if I had to leave early and I was like 'Well, I have Young Womens...' I didn't even get to finish my sentence before he decided that me and Sadie were going first. My Vaults were OK, but I've done better. After Vault I went and got dressed really fast and then Mommy took me to Young Womens.

YW was lots of fun! One of the Leaders (Joanna) works at the Capitol so she took us on a tour. We got to go into all of these really cool rooms and we even got to watch the House of Representatives vote! It was pretty cool. At the end of the tour Joanna took us to her office and we got lollipops and she gave everyone who wanted one a big poster of the Capitol so now I have an awesome poster!! Haha!

Sorry!

I feel bad cause I haven't really had time to write every night and then when I try to remember the next morning I can't remember what we did! I know I'm bad! So Sorry! All I can say about Wednesday was that we did routines and I did them all easily and they were good!

I remembered to remind Ilia that I had to leave early cause I was going to my friends play 'Peter Pan' and guess what he already remembered!

After we were done with conditioning Ilia told us to go and do ballet! Yay! We haven't done it in so long! After ballet my legs were kind of hurting from not doing gym ballet stuff in awhile. We went to Vault next and Ilia made us stack the mats up again and do our stuff like that. After we were done with Vault we went to Bars and I did a couple turns of giant-giant-kip cast dismounts then Ilia had me do half pirouettes and free hips. My first one was soooo amazing! Mommy saw it and after gym she said that it was gorgeous! So yay! After a little while of doing those I went over to Ilia and said 'How many more should I do? Cause I have to leave in like...three minutes.' and I guess he forgot cause he was like 'Oh right you can be done Drew.' Thank you Ilia.

When we got home my Young Women leader was pulling up right when we pulled up. So instead of going inside and getting somethings to bring I just switched cars and we left, but I wish that I had gone and got somethings cause they I would have had some money to spend getting a drink, which would have been nice, but anyway the play was really good! Sammeie, Chamberlain, Natalie, Brook, Brynn, Tommy, Matthew, and Elliot all did really good! Sammie, Chamberlain, Natalie, and Brook were all 'Lost Boys'. Brynn was a 'Wendy Shadow' and a 'Pirate'. Tommy and Matthew were 'Pirates'. It was actually pretty funny to watch them! Haha! Elliot was a 'Indian Brave'. He had this really big hat that was made out of feathers! It was awesome! The whole play was good and I had lots of fun. I was kind of sad that Sammie wasn't 'Jane' (Wendy's daughter) tonight, but Brook was so that was cool, but now I want to go to the other cast cause I want to see Sammie as 'Jane' and Sam as 'Smee'. Plus I'd kind of just want to see it again, but I don't think that I can cause tomorrow night I'm going to the Utah Gymnastics meet and Saturday I can't go cause it's at noon and Duncan has a Clogging competition. Oh well, maybe I'll just not get to see them. :)

OK OK!

OK so I can't get my camera to upload the pictures I took and I haven't had a chance to have my mom try to figure it out so since I know you are probably dying I will give you the scores, but I'm going to put what we did over the weekend cause the more I think about the more I realize that we didn't do anything so if you want to know what we sort of did then go here to see what my mom wrote about what we did!

After standing around forever because the girl in front of me couldn't get her music to start and the judges finally decided that they wanted to watch me I did my Floor routine and got a 8.2. On Vault I fell back on my first one because Ilia said that if I started to go backwards to take steps...so I did it just that I kept going so the five eight inchers that were stacked up a little ways back from the Vault stopped, but then I had to concentrate so that I would stop laughing. I stuck my second one and got an 8.9 and Ilia said that it was one of the best Vaults hes ever seen me do! YAY! On Bars it wasn't my best routine so I only got a 7.45, but oh well! Then after we sat around for an hour (no joke, it was an hour)we warmed up Beam and I got a 8.05.

So Floor: 8.2. Vault: 8.9 Bars: 7.45. Beam: 8.05. I got 9th place on Floor. 4th on Vault!!! YAY!!! 11th on Bars (out of twelve girls.) 8th on Beam. Then 8th on All Around.

I will post the pictures that I took when I can finally get them to upload.

But you said just leaps!?!?

So Ilia sent us to Floor after we did conditioning and Taylor told Ilia that her back hurt and he sat there for a minute then said to just do leaps and dance routines so we did and then after a little while he was like "Drew! Sadie! Kendall! What are you doing you have to do tumbling I only told Taylor to do leaps!" OK Ilia just so you know when we ask you what to do and you say just do leaps and routines we only do that!!! Gosh! So we started tumbling and when me and Sadie had done some good fulls we moved onto full and a halfs and mine were actually pretty good today! And I don't know how we got on the subject, but we started talking about how some of the most used words by people are um, like, gosh, so, and k (instead of OK). And so the rest of the time on Floor we would be talking then one of us would say something and someone else would start to laugh and we couldn't stop it! Even when that's the thing we were talking about! Haha! So silly. Anyways after Floor we went to Bars and me and Sadie did some good giants then did half pirouettes. My half pirouettes are getting lots better! So YAY! :) We went to Beam next and did three routines. I stuck my first one then fell on the second and stuck the two after that! My series were pretty straight today so that helped a lot. And since my leaps are getting better, but they still aren't very good I worked on those then gym was over so we went and stretched.

I don't know what is up with me and "The Veronicas", but here's two more songs by them.

The Veronicas |MTV Music

"When It All Falls Apart" I think this is my favorite of there songs.

The Veronicas |MTV Music

"4Ever" I don't know where, but I think I've heard this song before.


I'd tell you about what we did at Bana's and stuff like that, but that would spend time that could be used to read my book so see ya! Night!

It's coming!!! (so stop worrying!)

I'm haven't finished (actually I haven't even started) typing up what we did over the weekend in California, but don't worry I'm getting to it and you will have it soon. Maybe. Anyway back to today! After conditioning we went to Beam and Ilia told me to do 25 leaps because that's where I got my deductions last weekend. I made it up to 14 - good - leaps then he told us to go to Bars. And of course I had to do half pirouettes and free hips. We did that for awhile then when Hailee was done with Bars Ilia went home really fast (he wasn't feeling good) and had Hailee coach us for the rest of Bars. When we were done with Bars we went back to Beam and I finished my leaps then had to do round off rebounds. When we had about a half hour left we went to Vault and did drills where we would do the round off then just stand up on to the mats that were stacked up. After we were done I changed really fast and Mommy took me over to ballet.

It was just me and Kymmeri today so we did technique then when we got to pointe we did lots of exercises for our pointe and to make sure we were getting on our box and and my ankle hasn't really ever fully gotten better since I sprained it and what we were doing was really hurting it so after we were done with those and we were just doing normal stuff my ankle started to give out on me. So we finished pointe early and the last half hour of class was spent teaching me the rest of the "Wild Things" dance. Son now I'm caught up in that dance and I just have to practice that and next week we're going to work on the "Card" dance.

Now I have to go and plan out how many pages I have to read everyday for the next two weeks because Duncan is a little meanie and even though I asked Mommy month ago if I could read the next Fablehaven book first and she said yes he is saying that he should be the first one to read it because I take forever to read books and so I said 'Duncan it will probably take me a week!' and he said 'Ya, so I won't get to read it till a week after it comes out!' um...news flash Duncan its a WEEK! But anyway since I'm reading Eragon and I still have to read the two books after that and he is be rude I have to read two and a half books in two weeks!!!! Ugh! Duncan if I don't finish I don't care what you say you're NOT READING IT FIRST!!!!!
Bye now!

I feel so untouched right now, need you so much...*

Oh competition day. We all felt like Beam was going to be good, well that wasn't quite true. We all fell on our routine (except for Taylor, of course) so Ilia told me and Sadie to do 10 series and dismounts. We had 20 minutes to stick them all. I stuck them right on time!! WOO HOO!! After that Ilia told me to do round off rebounds which I was kind of scared for cause I hadn't done them in like a month! But I did them and they were really good!!! Yippee! Next was Bars and I stuck my routine, but Ilia didn't like my first half so I worked on that. After a while of that we went to Floor. Ilia put us in an order and guess what?...I was last. Why me? Anyway I went for it and it was pretty good and I stuck it! Ilia sent us to move the mats that still hadn't been moved that the boys had put there on Friday night that were stacked up for Vault. It was actually a pain to move them! But when we finally got them moved Taylor and Kendall did there Vaults first then me and Sadie went. I stuck my first one, but fell on my second one so I had to go again. I stuck the next two though!! YAY! Then we were done so I got to go a little early with Mommy to pick up Duncan and since he didn't end till 8:00 I had time to sit and read.

When we got home I went and made myself some dinner, which was really good! I took a tortilla and put some mustard, mayonnaise, ham, pepper jack cheese, and cheddar cheese on it and voila you have 'Drew's tortilla sandwich rap!' Yummy. After I ate I sat down and I think I read my book (Eragon) for over an hour! I finished a lot! Now I have to get off cause I kind of kicked Mommy of so that I could do this so yeah!

*I have Untouched stuck in my head!!

Got to write fast

OK really fast um yeah.
Gym was really boring we did routines on Beam and they were pretty good. I did two stuck then Ilia had me do round off back layouts with the pads. After a while of that we went to Bars. I did a couple of routines - I can't remember how many exactly - then it ended up that Ilia had sent us to Bars later than we were supposed to so we had to be done cause Natasha's girls were kicking us off. We went to vault next and since nobody had moved the mats that were piled up we just did round off stand up. It wasn't hard, but after a while it got really really really boring. Like its only been 20 minutes, but it feels like its been an hour kind of boring. But luckily after what felt like FOREVER Ilia told us to go stretch and it ended up that we were done a half hour early so I had plenty of time to get dressed for dance.

When I got to dance I discovered that my friend Lindsey had brought her friend from school so even though it was only one extra person so we only had four people it still felt like our class was soooo much bigger cause I'm so used to small classes. Five girls in the class at gym. Three at dance. Five in Young Womens. Seriously I have small classes, but I'm getting off track so lets see where was I...OH yes when I got to dance we did technique and it was pretty normal nothing too hard, but then we did pointe and that's when it started to get hard. There was some things that were really hard and some things I thought were going to be hard, but I did them really easy. So I guess that's good. When class was over Kalee kept me a little late so that she and Kymmerri could teach me the "Wild Things" dance for the recital. We're doing Alice in Wonderland for ballet. I'm "The Caterpillar!" And I'm also a "Card." Oh so much fun! For jazz we are doing Where the Wild Things Are and obviously I'm a "Wild Thing" and since there is so little people at our studio I'm also being in "Storm." Anyway we did that and I learned part of Wild Thing so I'll have to practice then we are learning more next week! Now its really really really really really really late so good night!!
