I think I'll set a goal of posting once a month and then see if I can improve on that sometime.
Let's see what's happened since the last time I posted. I took and passed my preliminary MITF. I am currently working on my pre-juvenile moves. They are coming along although I am having some blade issues. I pronate because I have flat feet, and I didn't get that taken care of when I bought the boots I currently have. Soooo...this requires alot of blade fixing to try to minimize the problem. I had no idea it was so intricate. Next time I'm getting custom boots to take care of these problems. Too bad that will probably be a year or so from now.
I'm finally going to test my pre-bronze freeskate. My problem hasn't been that I'm not ready, but instead that I had to pass preliminary moves before I could take it. I think I'm going to have to set some goals to get some high scores on it.
We're going to put together a bronze program for Skate Houston and testing. It'll be my first program in about a year, so I'm excited.
Coach S is working on cleaning up my single jumps. Not sure when/if we'll get to doubles/axel. She's got some leg issues, so getting me in a harness is not an option. I'm not sure where we'll go with that, I'm sure it's something we'll discuss this summer.

Okay, now some summer skating goals:
- skate at least 5 hours a week even when I'm out of town.
- get my camel/sit spin consistent and nice
- get my backspin so it doesn't suck
- get my pre-juvenile moves ready to test.
- get all of my singles, nice, pretty, and big

I think that's it. In non-skating news I think I'm getting a new car! I'm not sure when because we may wait for the 2009s, but I'm gonna get a honda civic coupe. I'm very excited. :)
