this is jay leno and my making a weird face again.... : )
I shouldn’t
be writing this blog post because I am frustrated.
I will,
however, focus on what I did tonight. I went to a place called I-Jump. Sidenote,
I don’t know why everything has an ‘I’ in front of it now. It is just weird. It
was so much fun though! I cannot even describe. I went with a couple guys from
my vball team this semester. They helped make it way fun. Basically, this place
is covered with trampolines and sorts of. There are tramps that go into foam
pits. Floors of tramps lined together. In the foam pit one I did a backflip! First
one ever. I was so scared. I was jumping into a foam pit but I was still scared
to death. Maybe not death, that is a little harsh. But nonetheless, I was
scared. The first attempt I jumped and floated backwards and fluttered my hands
and legs and landed on my back in the foam. It was pretty funny. They had a
replay camera and I got to watch what I looked like. The second attempt I was
jumping, got too close to the edge, and just sort of tumbled in. Right after
that I nailed it. Landed straight on my feet. I think I would have been a good
gymnast if I stuck with it and got over my fear of being scared of hurting
myself. Seriously, gymnasts have not fear whatsoever. I got pretty pro as
backflips in the pit. My next goal was to do a front handspring. I did it. I then
decided to have a race around the trampolines with my friend Joel. The first
race a little girl ran out in front of him and he took her out. Then I tripped
over one of the mats that covers the springs. The second race, I tripped over
the mat thing again! But at least I took Joel out with me. The third race I flat
out tripped over the mat again. I took no one out. I laughed pretty dang hard. Overall
it was a great night.
I get
to go home on Wednesday. I could not be more thrilled. I need to just recollect
myself. The same struggles are creeping up on me again. It is so frustrating to
thing that I have overcome the struggles and self-doubts, but then BOOM they
are back in an instant no questions asked. It is all good though. My life is
great. I really have no room for complaints, only gratitude.
