I know I keep making excuses to why I haven't been blogging for a while, but I really have been super busy! Just on Saturday I was competing in qualifying regionals in Ann Arbor Michigan at the Ice Cube arena. I love this arena because first, I competed there earlier in the year (so I was used to the rink and not as scared) and second I just love the name The Ice Cube! It's so cute!! :)
Anyway, it was a
great experience that many people don't get to do, so I thought I might as well take this opportunity. I skated really well while I was in my program. I landed all of my jumps cleanly and I went in to them a
lot faster than I did in my previous competitions. I just wanted to go for all of the jumps no matter what happened.

So I ended up taking 12th out of 18th, which isn't bad especially considering that I was doing the less complicated jumps than everyone else. But I improved my previous score by three points!! So I was happy because when you're competing, the only one you're
really competing against is yourself. So I'm very happy with my placement!
Anyway yesterday was my 14th birthday and I had an awesome time! My grandparents were over (they actually were watching me compete at regionals too!) we went out to dinner at a Chinese restaurant, my mom made an
amazing coconut, pineapple cheesecake, and I got some really awesome gifts! I got some awesome cookbooks, I got the movie The Avengers, (I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!) I got some clothes + cute pink legwarmers for skating, and an amazon gift card! This week was so much fun!! :D
Thanks for reading! :)

DeleteIt sounds like you have been having a very busy schedule for the last couple of months. For the entire month of September and until now in October, our schedule has been packed full as well – travelling to and from all over the place. Just like how you felt, it’s been exhausting but fun. I’m finally caught up reading all of your blogs. As always, I love reading what you write. I love you to infinity!! Grandma
