It's a good thing you didn't break your elbow!

My coach was definitely trying to kill me during my lesson yesterday!!! It's true!!! hahaha everything started off pretty normally...the ice was really wet, and so when my coach asked me if I wanted to start with skills or freestyle, I suggested spins since most of my lessons with her involve jumps. Sooo we worked a lot on my spins, and I tried an intense camel-layback-back sit which turned out to be veryyyy ugly!!! lol and then we moved to jumps. We worked on my axel, double salchow, and double toe, and then things started to get weird. First, my coach said that we would skip working on skills since it was my last lesson with her until the fall. GREAT! I thought, because I hate skills, but oh no...she clearly had something else in mind...

First, it was that she wanted me to try flip-double toe because she said that some people find it easier to do double toe in a combination. Not me. That's all I have to say about that one. Then, we worked on double loop, and behold, she wanted me to try flip-double loop! Then, we worked on double flip and I took some very interesting falls...

AND THEN, she convinced me to try a DOUBLE LUTZ. That was not a pretty sight. I tried one and fell kind of badly, and apparently I was lucky that I didn't break my elbow. Haha so that one's going to have to wait for a while...I'm clearly not ready for it yet :)

So ya, my coach definitely tried to kill me yesterday. It was a fun lesson though :)

On a completely different note, we picked up my piano pieces for next year from the music store. I tried to play the Rachmaninoff one (whyyyyy am I playing more Rachmaninoff???) and oh boy...lots of notes...

Anyway, that's all for now...I'll try to write more before I leave on vacation but if I don't, I'll write more in a couple of weeks!!
