Weekly Class Meeting!

Checking in after our weekly class meeting today! I think it was a good class. We all had to bring in an "artifact" from our project. It was really cool to see what other people have been working on. I have gotten so wrapped up in my own project that it was awesome to be able to step back and look at everyone else's hard work. I brought in a copy of the annual report and shared my article. It was kinda weird to show the pictures of myself and explain that I have basically had my own photographer and journalist following me around. I think some people might have gotten annoyed with me for it, thinking that I was bragging. Really that was not my intention and I hope that some people realized it and thought it was at least a little interesting.

Also, today I was in the studio with Maddy (the little girl I talked about yesterday) and it was a lot of fun. She is super adorable and has a fun, yet hardworking personality that makes her fun to coach. We worked on ariels (no handed cartwheel) and back-handsprings. She has been having trouble with them, but she has been able to do the skill before. I TOTALLY get why she is frustrated with not being able to do them anymore. Nothing is worse than coming in one day and being able to do a skill no problem and then coming in the next and you just cant do it anymore. It sucks big time. After working with her, I realized what her problems were and we have a plan on how to get her back to being able to do these skills. It was hard to be back in the studio and see her tumbling without being able to get up there myself. I was the "acro girl" of the studio. It was what I stood out for and it was hard not to be able to get up there and do it with her. But I love that I get to work with her because it gives me another reason to get back into the studio.
