Nationals: the short short version

[jaina]

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.

When I got my skates back from Caroline, she said she was there on Saturday, and that she LOVED del Sol's senior program. She thought the music and costumes were fantastic, and the hands and the footwork were amazing.

Yay! I'm glad she enjoyed it. :) :) :) The program seems to be getting lots of good feedback on synchroboards.com (be wary of reading said site, you may lose braincells).

I saw 'Bombay Dreams' when I was in London, I love that show! How great that they're skating to it!

Congratulations on a great show - I hope you got our message - I am really disappointed that we didn't get out there - but put-in and a crisis with someone being forced out of their apartment overwhelmed us much more than expected. I really want to see you and del Sol compete - so good luck with work on your figures and passing your novice and (which other level?) tests for the team!

I did get your message in the middle of Saturday. :) Don't worry, I understand.
