DARN IT! I WOKE UP AT NINE SOMETHING! I failed. My plan has failed utterly; I had wanted to wake up earlier. I am officially still not able to commit myself to something. Maybe tomorrow I will try again. Yes, maybe, as in one out of ten. I need to try though. Maybe.

I had a regular morning, and this morning, I HAD A HOT DOG, and no cheese omelet. That means that the little pan WASN'T used at all, so that I could use it, so I got to sauteed my hot dog. That was really yummy. I was watching TV while eating. Besides having a hot dog, I also had a shredded dried pork bread thing (rou4 song1 mian4 bao1) it's yummy! On two sides it is totally cover in the pork thing (It is in a shape of a cylinder) and the inside of the bread also has the pork thing. Probably the most exciting breakfast ever. I was watching TV, but I am not sure what I actually watched. Probably random stuff.

After a while I was pretty bored. I didn't have anything that I "had to" do because I had finished the project. I probably was doing random stuff for the most of it. I don't like being scatter brained, as in doing random stuff.

I am really not sure how my day went, only that the time passed really quickly, and then, BOOM! Amber, get ready for gymnastics! I'm awfully sorry I forgot what I did, but I will describe everything else I do.

When I first went to gymnastic, I was pretty early. I saw my other friends talking, so I went and joined my friends. The problem is, that I don't know how to JOIN conversations. That went pretty awkwardly.

Warm-up is basically the same thing every week, but not in the same order. First jogging in place and high knees in place then but kickers. That's the first couple warm-up stuff. Then there's a bunch of different stuff that we do, but not necessarily anymore. I think it depends on which coach does the warm up. There's a whole bunch of leg stretches, arm stretches, and well, the bridge.

First as usual after warm-ups we had floor. It wasn't that interesting, but fun enough. I had figured out through hot gossip (No, really just friends told me) and I was kind of feeling sad, but then, she was going to be back, so no BIG deal. We only had stations, which were front hand springs (I fail, I don't know how to do a hurdle FAIL!), round-off practices, back walkover stuff, leap into arabesque, and backwards extension rolls. I can't explain much, but I didn't REALLY like it. But then I am super picky, so something that is okay for me is usually pretty good for other peeps.

Then a water break (DUH) and bars. Bars is okay, because I am not very good at the stuff. The stations were glide swings to knock down blocks, improve on glide swings, cast squat-on jump off, a beginning to front hip circles, and a kind of swing for the high bar. Front hip circles is pushing up to the bar, then roll forward, and end up in a push up shape. This is very, very hard. I've only seen my OLD coach do it. No one else. My favorite thing in bars is the cast squat-on. The movement is to push up to the bar, and keeping your hands on the bars cast and put your feet onto the bar. Stand, and then jump off. The other stuff were kind of just regular, nothing special.

Beam was REALLY awesome. This time she let us choose WHATEVER  we wanted. I chose to do the cartwheel up to handstand and straddle down. I stayed on the floor practicing it. IT IS HARD. First of all you need to be like PERFECT on cartwheel up to handstand. I only can do them well by luck. Then when I try the straddle down, I lose my balance. I ONLY DID ONE OR TWO GOOD ONES. I should have switched what I was working on. Then  I might've improved on SOMETHING. Urg. Wrong choice for me.

That's really all that happened in gymnastics, but the cool down was hula hooping. Not much. I was kind of sad because next week was the last week I would see my coach for three to four months. More than how much I though would depress me. But it isn't like CRAZY.

Really there is nothing else to my day, well, that is interesting.
