Big Rival Game

Tonight, our school has a game against a big rival. We have almost the same colors so we also have the competition of who wears them better. I am really excited because the school we are playing is my old school. I will see all my old friends, although I will be on the sidelines cheering for our amazing Devils to win. Comment or email me and let me know what traditions you have with your rivals. What do you do to get pumped? Also, homecoming has recently happened or is happening. How was it? What were some stunts or interesting moves to your homecoming dance? If you have any questions, just comment or email me!

Finished Radiate

I have completed the book “Radiate” This book has many twist and turns, not just in the plot, but also in the emotion. One minute you could be laughing out loud and the next minute you might want to cry. “Radiate” was based on Marley Gibson’s real life experience. Since it was based on a true story there are true facts about the cancer, the care for her, and the life outside the cancer. She does an amazing job with the names of all her medicines and cancer diagnostics. Also, this book doesn’t get boring because it is up-to-date with the way the world works and communicates. Lastly, there were many good quotes and life lessons that I will take from this book. This book can give any person, cheerleader or not, a real step-back in life and realize what they have. I couldn’t put it down. Thanks Marley Gibson for an amazing read.

The Monster

The Monster called my back handspring stepped into my path tonight. The nerves took over my body and everything began to shake. I fell once, wimped out by doing just a roundoff with no back handspring twice, and actually flipped 2 times. I can't wait till Sunday to attempt the monster again.

Release the stress!

Finally I have been relieved from some stress. I do believe that the projects were a big part of that. Nervous about tumbling on sunday afternoon, yes, but I have a lot to do this weekend, so whatever happens, happens. I have a 4 day weekend and it is going to rock! :)

Stress.

I have had a lot of stress since about monday. It seems that everything in my life just changed. I was excited about learning new tumbling passes and now I don't even feel like showing up. A lot of big projects and things are coming up and I just feel overwhelmed. I believe that it is all nerves, but I can't bring myself to go with that. I have had headaches constantly and an upset stomach. These things may be caused by the nervousness inside me, but they would have to be big nervous fits. I will keep you up to date on my flow, but I don't know how it will go.

Competition Practice

My first practice went well. We worked on jumps and tumbling. I had a roundoff back handspring, but I am in the process of mastering it. If your a cheerleader, you know that tumbling does not just happen. Tumbling takes time and practice. Tonight at practice, I fell on my head. I have a goose bump on my head and a sore shoulder and spine. Its ok because you have to get back up and keep going. I believe that I WILL master this monster! :)
