Open Gym
I am worn out. Not from finals though, but from tumbling for the last hour. My floor went to a gymnastics center about 15 minutes away for an “open gym,” which allowed us to pretty much do whatever we wanted on the equipment, as long as we were safe.
I used to be a cheerleader in middle and high school, so I was especially excited for today. It’s amazing how many skills I’ve lost, while other tricks are like riding a bike. Just playing around with friends was fun too, because we had handstand competitions, tried to “pop” each other on the trampoline while playing popcorn (pic 3), and our RA Kirsten even tried to climb the infamous rope (pic 4—she didn’t get very far).
Also, I had completely forgotten how much of a workout tumbling is. It was a perfect de-stressor for finals week but I could use a back massage right about now…time to see which friend is feeling generous.
