My coach and I have finally agreed on some music for a bronze program. I didn't realize it was going to be so difficult because I don't really care, but it was. I just need this program for testing and maybe a competition or two so it's really not that big of a deal to me. I hope to be skating silver ASAP anyway. But whatevs. Anyway, because of all this, I won't be going to the Houston Fall Invitational again this year. My next competition will be the Star of Texas adult competition in January. I went to this a couple years ago and it was really great to be able to compete where there were no little kids running around being annoying.
In testing news I took my pre-bronze freeskate and passed it surprise, surprise. I skated awfully during the test, but it was still fine. My 2 foot spin stunk, but since that's the first and last time I'll ever do one they didn't care. I'm still working on my pre-juvenile moves and I think I may be ready to test those in a couple of months. We put the three turns on the pattern and that's really the only thing holding me back. Once I take those I can then take my bronze test and I'll finally be on track. I'm afraid it's going to take years to get those juvenile moves, though.
I had a breakthrough on my camel spin this past week. I've always had a so-so camel. Good enough to count as one, but it was slow. Something happened Wednesday night and I figured it out. I managed to repeat the feat at my lesson Thursday morning and my coach was very impressed. Then she tried to fix my entrance and now I can't do it anymore. :) Oh well, I'm sure I just need to work on it some more.
Okay, I think that's it for now. Off to take a nap, I just got home from a weekend-long bachelorette party and I'm exhausted.
