Holla!
Happy 2005! The holidays went by so fast but it was great to be able to gohome and see my mom and my friends back in NJ. I spent the 8 days homevisiting a lot of friends and catching up on the last few months that Ihave been away. The whole week before break, I was so excited to be goinghome but had a great time with the girls. Half of us stayed at Nat's houseand the other half at the senior's house. We had so many great nightstogether, especially the ginger bread house one where we clearly saw whowere the neat and efficient ones, and those who were more crazy and goofywith their creations. We came back the 27th of December and got right backto training to get ready for the season. We realized that we needed to workharder and stronger than ever before to reach our goals. Everyone wasprepared to get back into the gym, excited to see everyone, and ready tomake things happen. It was so great to see everyone happy and rested fromtheir breaks and so much fun to exchange crazy stories that happened withinthose 8 days. I know I definitely had a lot of them. Anyways, this past weekwas our last week before the season really begins. As the week progressed,all the girls showed improvement and enthusiasm for our first competition.Everyone worked hard through the gymnastics and the conditioning. I don'tknow if I will ever love conditioning but I am coming to appreciate it moreand more everyday :). We have a few more practices before we go to Berkeleyand I know that I am definitely excited to get things going in 2005! GOCARD!
