Today I had practice for both Gold and Panther practice and it was so tiring.
First I had practice at 4 o clock and we needed to change the pyramid that they have been competing because it is not scoring as well as it should. Since we are going to an important competition, we need the most points we are able to get. After spending 2 hours and half on a new pyramid, all of us were extremely exhausted and he let us go home.
Unfortunately for me, I was unable to go home since I had practice right after which I defenitely not looking forward to it. My coach made us run 4 miles in the beginning of that practice and it was so annoying because I was extremely tired from the practice before that. Then after we did so much conditioning to work out. It seemed like practice was never going to end. Then at the time that practice was supposed to end, we were just starting to tumble. We ended up having to throw fulls which is a much harder pass than what we do now in our routine so it made us all even more mad. But the practice ended up being a good one and it helped us improve a lot.

Competition!
Today we had a competition and it as soo goood! It was at Broward Convention Center and we hit our routine the best we have ever it before. Also that day the little kids I coached competed as well and they ended up getting first. It was so nice! Because some of my friends are on a different team than me, I went out with their team for dinner and it was a lot of fun.
That whole day was just dedicated to cheerleading and I watched a bunch of different teams and hung out with my friends because my parents ended up not going to the competition because they had other things to do.
I know today was a short posts but there was not much going on for the competition.

WORST PRACTICE
Yesterday I went in early to finish filming the rest of my tryout video for Penn State and it went well. When I got home, I helped my mom put it together and I was very pleased with the overall ending of the video. Also, when I went to practice I gave them my WISE commercial project and they all loved it! The coaches were so impressed by my film making abilities, they might want me to make their tryout video for next year.
When I got to practice that night, my coach was extremely mad and he decided to make us go through a whole 2 hour conditioning practice because 3 people did not show up! It was the worst, we were in the dance room for an hour just working on legs and arms while he stood above us upset and criticizing us. We were all so tired. Once the gym was cleared out we went back out onto the floor and finished conditioning for the next 45 minutes. It seemed like it would never end! Lastly, he told us we had to hit all of our stunts or we would do more conditioning but unfortunately we did not do that in the beginning. Once we were able to get back into the stunts, as a team we hit them all together and we were so happy.
This weekend I have a competition so I hope it is goooddd!

MORE FILMING AND GOLD
Yesterday was actually very successful for my project! When I left school, I went home to change to start filming again for my Penn State video. This time, I did more angles of the same things I have already done, along with new footage of things I have not filmed yet. First, I did the cheer and jumps which I had not filmed before. After, I went back to things I have previously recorded but new I could do better. I did more tumbling (standing and running). Lastly, I recorded the dance I needed and it was great. I feel that video is really coming together and I hope I make the team.
I have an appointment today to get the last part of my film done which is stunting and then that night we are putting it all together to send it out tomorrow morning. I am so nervous.
Yesterday, I also had gold practice so I had to go and watch. Danielle and I did not get that much done because they were taking up the whole floor and they wanted quiet. We ended up leaving at 9 since our part in the routine is not until the last competition we did not have much to do. Everyone else finished at 9 45 but they did not care.
Hopefully everything I need to do today will get finished.

BAD DAY
Yesterday I had an appointment to film more footage for my college cheerleading tryout video but unfortunately I was not able to get things done. Since most of my coaches were out of town for their own cheerleading competition that only two coaches were left at the gym. My coach, Mike, said that I was able to come in early before practice and work on the video since he had a key. I was on my way when he texted us to cancel practice since too many people on my team decided they were too busy. Mike had told me I was still able to come in and tumble but when I got there, he had not left yet. He told me he was going to leave but I had gotten a call a half an hour later telling me his car broke down and is unable to get to the gym.
I had to drive all the way back to weston and he told me I can come in early today to film since the video is due. Therefore, I am leaving school at 1 and getting to the gym at 2 or 230 to get things done before I have gold practice.
Hopefully everything works out good today! (:

Cousins
Before my spring break had even started my cousins had come into town from Penn State. Because of this, it was hard for me to do a lot of cheerleading that was not scheduled for practice.
The first day I came in, I had let them relax because they had just gotten off a long plane ride. We watched some tv and talked to their father with my grandparents. Once my family got home form work, we went out to eat to a cuban restaurant and then went to yogurtland. We were very chill about what we did the first day.
The next day, I brought them shopping since Alanna had wanted to get some new jewerly for a dress she had bought and they loved Pembroke Gradens. We did not stay there long because they were really excited to go bowling. I had bought time to play two games and I ended up beating them both, even when we played a whole game backwards.
On saturday, we went over to the Mantuos house and we played Mexican Train Dominos, which Olivia was wanted to play for the longest time! Unfortunately, I had to go to practice for that night but the next day we had my grandfathers birthday.
On Sunday it was my grandpas 90th birthday and we had a celebration at his condo and a lot of people showed up. It was nice to see him in his comfortable habitat and he loved the celebration.

Competition
We had another competition but because it was a little competition none of us exactly cared that much on what we looked like.
The competition started at 130 and ended and at 430 so it was only three hours; therefore, my coach had told us we could wear our hair all up in a ponytail rather than the usual half up half down curls. Usually we had to wake up so early to get ready and curl my hair but I was able to get up when I actually woke up. It took a record 20 minutes to get ready for the competition instead of the 2 hours before that.
While we were are the competition, there were not many teams competing so we had to watch some teams and soon enough we were the ones on the floor. Since we were the most skilled cheerleaders at this competition, we were the last ones to go on the floor and then we had the awards. We ended up getting first like the rest of the Florida Triple Threat cheerleaders.
Unfortunately, after we competed Kelly had ran off the floor and nobody realized it until we could find her. We saw her walking with another girl Savannah and did not think anything of it but Kelly had actually broke her nose again during the routine. Because of that her sister and I went to go and help her, we ended up having to leave the competition early.
Although, we got first place, it ended up badly for some. ):
