Last Day In 'Merica

This is going to be a fairly short post, but I decided to do it anyway because I probably won't be able to post anything tomorrow because I am going to be on a plane the entire day. Starting with waking up at 4:30.

Fun.

It's my very first international flight and it is going to be so long. *sigh*. Although, I did find out that they serve food on the plane (I don't know what I expected), which will hopefully be one of the upsides, as long as I don't sleep through the meal. Also, I have officially finished packing!

I finished my "trial" period of gymnastics today on a slightly low note. My muscle memory has kicked in but that doesn't mean that my body can take all the impacts; I learned that the hard way. While vaulting, I managed to hyper-extend my right elbow. I wasn't able to tumble or do series or dismounts on beam. Wonderful! I'm thinking of taking an ice bath tonight to help out my incredibly sore body. In case you don't know what an ice bath is, it is exactly what it sounds like: An ice cold bath with about a bag of ice poured into it that you sit in for 10-30 minutes. I know, I know. To most people, an ice bath seams suicidal, but I love them, and they really, really help. (There's a ton of science for why they help, but I won't go into that.) They're not nearly as bad as they sound.

The next blog I post will be full of excitement, whether I post it on Sunday or a week from Monday. If any of you have been to Paris or France, feel free to comment suggestions on what to visit and where to go. Au revoir!
