Nationals: the short short version

We had a very good skate, one fall at the very end, and came in fifth. We actually tied for fourth, but lost the tiebreaker, so no medal for us, but that's okay. We still had a great time. Our Juveniles also came in fifth, which was *awesome* for them, and our Seniors got eighth and had the free skate of their LIVES. I was more emotional after their program than I was after ours. Senior probably would've been seventh overall if they hadn't had a huge crash in the short program. (If you want to hear some of the seniors' long program music, click here and listen to track 14, "Salaam Bombay," and track 2, "Bombay Dreams," starting at about 21 seconds.)

My mom and Aunt Julie came to see me, and julietvalcouer drove down, and so did lily_advance, who also brought Jeremy! Thank you so much for coming to see the show, guys. Cinda, I hope y'all stayed through Senior long, because it was amazing.

I'm very very tired, and I'd like to sleep for about twelve hours or so. Other than that, I'm a happy girl.
