What I am willing to tell
This is only for those who give a crap to how I seriously feel
Colonial Competition
Yeah, so, we got our uniforms, hair and make-up for yesterday's show. This is how it all went.

We get to the school early to help those that didn't get their hair done ahead of time done. Cornrows, braids and all. That was interesting. Also. We had no bus. The bus never showed. So we had to start calling parents to drive us. My mom took me, Richard, and Vanesa. heart my mom for doing that. Anyway, while in the car, my mom was a little mad about it, but seeing me having to put Richard's hair up in a ponytail with a billion bobby pins along with gel (in the car mind you) made her happy. He has a whole new vocabulary mind you: bobbypins, gel, flyaways, slick-back. It's amazing.

So, we finally all get to the school, and go into warm up. We do that, we run around trying to find other warm-up places...And BAM...We are in holding. We do the wolf kisses and starbursts in the bra thing and get ready to go on. My show was actually pretty good...except I forgot to do a simple up and over thing with the flag, but thankfully, I didn't start the new work early, I just waited until everyone got where I was. And that was at the end of the show anyway.

So we are done, we go outside, get our peach look-alike flowers and our talk from our instructors. Then, Richard, Alex and I go back inside to watch some guards. We got to see Beka's show...That girl was dead with little face on. But at least she recovered when she dropped a rifle. It was good. I give her two thumbs up for that. So after she went to change, we went to go shopping and get some food. I got buttons! I have one that says "I see guard people" and "Oh no!! I left my rifle at home!" I like those. My two fav guard girls bought those for me. biggrin

Okay, so we get some food and go back to the gym where retreat (awards) was about to happen. My school gets called down to be presented with pins of recognition for being promoted to a higher class. So we are all like "yay for us" then we go back and wait for the judging. Okay, so we sit and wait, and we hear our names get called for 9th place. Out of 11 mind you. It was good. It was a harder class then what we did for our first competition, so it's a good start for now. We just have to work harder.

Yeah, not much really happened after that. I went home and took pictures of me, my uniform, hair and make-up. Then...I passed out. That's why I am writing this in the morning. I was sleepy. It was a long, stressful day.

So, yeah, yay Timber. We got 9th, and no bus. Karma is on our side.

Oooh, its good luck not to use the bus! Next time you all should take bycicles, you'll get in the top 3 spot!

Seriously though, I am really glad to hear you did well, I am very impressed. You guys were thrown in an element new to you, and came out better than most who get thrown into something like that do, really cool.
