Okay, so today was a much more enjoyable tour retreat. We did the Dvorak and the Brahm's Hungarian Dance which is pretty cool. And then we played the Beaser. And what's great is that I actually play in those. I know, craziness! And we got free pizza. And I went to Starbucks. That combination just makes me very very very happy.
The best part of this was that I got home and my mommy and I went shopping. Which was awesome. I got a cute pair of shoes, a purse that is "Europe-proof", some of my summer reading books (shikks, the Aeneid is scarrrrryyyyy and long and poetic), and new sheets. Granted, I still don't have a homestay gift, but I have possibilities, it's just figuring out what I want to get.
But the real best part of the day was all the gymnastics on. There was like 5 hours of Olympic Trials on today. It was great. So I might as well say MY olympic team (with 2 alternates):
Shawn Johnson
Nastia Liukin
Alicia Sacramone
Chellsie Memmel
Samantha Peschek
Mattie Larson
Alternates: Jana Bieger, Ivana Hong
Sorry if you have no clue what I'm talking about. I really think that Mattie Larson is absolutely gorgeous and her lines are amazing. Her floor is elegant but her tumbling is really powerful. AND she finished night 1 in 7th. Though I don't actually think she'll make the team, she's going to be a powerhouse in 2009 and beyond. And I just really don't like Jana or Ivana (sorry, but they're just both missing that indescriptable thing). But anyways, that kinda made my day. And I get 2 more hours tomorrow. YAY!
