Today I had a gymnastics meet. I did better than the last one; I got a 31.95 all-around and qualified for sectionals.
Bars: 7.6
**I just started Level 8, and I don't have all the moves I need, so I lost major points because of the lack of difficulty in my routine... not to mention I just suck at bars in general.
Beam: 8.0
**Not happy with this one. Last meet, I got an 8.25 with a fall; I didn't fall this time, but I was so wobbly that they took off a ton of points for form. >_<
Vault: 7.9
**I was kind of hoping for better, but vault's another weak event.
Floor: 8.45
**Very pleased with this one. I got a 6.8 at the last meet because apparently my routine didn't have enough "B" level moves (i.e. the moves I was doing weren't difficult enough). Showing you how stupid this is, I added a straddle jump, a fish half, a cat leap full, and a full turn with my leg horizontal - all very easy moves - and bam! my score goes up about almost two points. (Even though I threw in a back flip with a full twist and landed so low that my hand hit the floor.)
So, all in all an okay meet (and certainly better than last time), but I hope next time will be better.
In other news, I just ordered a bunch of Anggun CDs, which makes me happy. ^_^ Anggun is an artist originally from India who then moved to France and released a series of albums from there. What's really cool about her is that she'll do an album in French, and then translate it into English - or vice versa. I ordered two of her French albums and two in English, including a greatest hits compilation that has some snazzy remixes.
And no, je ne parle pas de français, why do you ask?
