Just you wait and see

The night ended just as dramatically as it began. I accomplished my goal after a frustrating night culminating in a round of tears and a pep talk. Timing. My only problem is my timing. Whether it's reaching for the floor too early or not reaching for it at all, that's my problem. I had a great warm up and started where I left off last night which was great. It was the middle stuff that got in the way. In the process of trying to fix my timing I got frustrated after an already frustrating evening and by the end of the night I just cried. As Mike tried to explain the little things I needed to fix I stood there listening intently trying not to let my chin quiver and he ended his schpeel with "and you're crying your eyes out." I shook my head no and he said "bull shit I can read you like a book. Come here." So he gave me a hug and let me cry and told me that I would be ready for try outs and it's better that these things happen now rather than later. So I did one more handspring into the soft mat with the floor on top and he said "See, there's your handspring. I didn't have to touch you." So we ended on that note and he told me that it was my drive and dedication that got him there tonight and it was that same drive and dedication that was going to get me through try outs. He said that it's the perserverance of the trick that makes it happen and that it's just going to click and I'll have it like magic one of these days. I looked at him and said "Watch me come in and just throw it like it's nothing tomorrow." and that's exactly what I'm going to do. No thinking. Just a sit with my shoulders over my knees, an aggressive stand up out of my legs, looking for the floor and a land. Right off the bat. Just you wait and see.
