So, "ow" story of the day: I was doing a round-off back-handspring on the beam (only one handspring, not two like the video does), and I landed on my head. On the beam. From what I heard - I don't actually remember what happened - I missed my feet on the round-off and my arms were bent as I went for the back-handspring, the result being that my head landed first. Because I was arched, my neck bent underneath me, and I seriously thought I was going to break it.
Luckily, it didn't break, I wasn't paralyzed, and in fact there's only a small bump and a major kink in my neck, so crisis averted! =DDD
In other news, our science midterm is on Tuesday and I just fit everything we've learned this year onto one index card (which she's letting us use as a cheatsheet). Including a copy of the periodic table. Score!
P.S. I'm listening to Toby Lightman right now - ya'll need to check her out, she's absolutely amazing. She sounds exactly like Sara Bareilles, so if you like Sara you should definitely look up Toby! (And if you have no idea who either of these people are, go look both of them up!)
