Hi Everyone-
I hope everyone is doing well. I'm doing a lot better since Nationals. I'm back on the ice, I'm working a little bit, and I'm very
optimistic about this summer and next season. I know what I need to do, and I'm going to do it, no matter what other people say.
I started skating again about three weeks after Nationals. It was kind of depressing to skate for no reason, so I skated mainly to get
out of my house and away from the ice cream. I slowly am starting to
progress back into the routine of my life and get myself in order. I'm sorry
to make such a "Lifetime Original Movie" out of what happened, but it really
was the most abysmal ending to a horrific year. Anyway, I'm actually skating
really well. I am landing quad sal pretty consistently, I have stood up
on a few quad flips, and I've started working on quad lutz, so I'm pretty happy
with all of that. I'm trying to invent a new spin and am always working on
random footwork to make that stronger for next season. I'm also looking for
new short program music, I'm thinking Spanish possibly, and I'm keeping my
long program to "Dr. Zhivago."
I recently had my first assignment as a
choreographer. I choreographed two programs for my friend, Marisa Ross. It
was a really fun experience, I think for both of us, and I would really like
to pursue being a choreographer for a little while. It's amazing, I have a
lot of ideas, but I can't use them all, so why not help other people with
them? It's just so much fun, I can't even describe.
My summer is going to filled with training, unlike last year. I
am hoping to do the Liberty Open competition, to put my programs out for the
first and second times, and to try a quad or two for the first time in
competition. I want to be ready for anything this season, just so I can
never be counted out or cut down again.
I'll
get back to you all soon, I just wanted to let ya'll know what I'm up to.
Thanks for visiting!
