The past few weeks have been so ridiculously busy that I feel I have been
neglecting my blog a little! Apologise's for that! So this post is a little
update of what I have been doing over the past few weeks.
Also, all the pictures are from my iphone so they may not be the best quality images.
Week 1:
Cheerleading competition!
In week 1 I was busy at a cheerleading competition! We went up to
Telford
near
Birmingham to compete in the
University Nationals
and the
Midlands competitions at
BCA. (British
Cheerleading Association) And overall it went well! We had a practise
session in the gym at
Birmingham University the day before the
first day of the competition which, unfortunately, resulted in a few injuries
for the 1st team meaning they had to re arrange their routine and stunts! Bad
news but they did well considering! For the
University Nationals on
Friday the 6th of April
, my team came
10th out of 20,
which is not bad considering nerves were high as, for a majority of the team;
it was their first competition resulting in a few stumbles.
The
1st team came
6th out of 20 bringing
home a trophy and for the
Small Jazz dance section of the competition,
we came
1st which was awesome! At the
Midlands
Competition my team placed
4th out of 20 which was amazing! I'm
so proud of us because there were a lot of good teams in that category,
including non university teams which have members on their squad that have been
there for years, and for us to be able to come 4th against them when we're only
a university team was amazing! So proud! Brought home a nice little trophy! The
1st team came
6th out of 10 which again was pretty good. The
3rd
team came
2nd out of 6 which is awesome! And finally, the
Tumbling
Duo and
Trio both came
1st which was amazing
and the
Non Tumbling Trio came
1st and
the
Duo came
2nd which again is amazing, I’m so proud
of our squad! It was such a good week! Absolutely exhausting emotionally and physically
but good fun!
Week 2:
Work
Week 2 isn't quite
as exciting as week 1 as I pretty much
just worked the whole week. I work at a
dog groomers which I suppose sounds quite
cool however,
it’s not. I’m the person that washes and dries the dogs, and dogs
don’t like being washed or dried (especially not with our loud driers) so every
day is just
one battle after another with dogs that don’t sit still, try to
jump out the bath and sometimes go to bite. But other than that,
the cuddles
are good! Aha.
Week 3:
Essay
Week 3 is
definitely not as exciting as I have literally just been
writing
an essay for the whole week. And I still haven’t finished! I've taken some
time out
to write this post as I haven't blogged for
16 days and that’s
just a little bit ridiculous!
So that’s my update!
I will definitely be posting more next week as all my
assignments are in (except for one on the 9th of May but that’s easy!) :)
