I've finally mastered the art of cartwheeling. Personally I find this very exciting, and very pathetic at the same time. It's only pathetic because I've been taking dance since second grade. That's five years of stretching, sit-ups, turns, and jumps and I only just yesterday gathered the courage to do a cartwheel. The most pathetic part was that it took me about 20 minutes of telling my friend I: can't do it/I'm going to hit something/I'm just going to embarrass myself/ I'm going to die, and another 20 minutes of my friend telling me: Yes you can!/ No you're not!/ You can do it!/ JUST GO ALREADY! If I'm doing the math correctly (highly unlikely) that's at least 40 minutes of preparation. If you even want to call it that. But my point is I can finally, after 13 years of building up to this moment, do a cartwheel. Sort of.
