T2 B74: Jumps

This time, for skating lessons, we did the Waltz Jump. This is one of the few jumps that I could do well. I still remember how to do every step. Of course, I still had to practice. What you do is that you glide on one foot, jump, turn in midair, and land on the other. Sound simple? Well, it's a lot harder on ice. I got tired from jumping after a while, so we did some bunny hops. They are so fun to do! My cousin can't do them at all, so I kinda had to teach him. But even he's getting better at it. 

For P.E. today, we didn't get to do gymnastics since the other class was using the gym for fencing. It was supposed to be our last day for gymnastics, so we couldn't do our gymnastics routine. Dykstra decided to make it optional, and we only had to do it if we wanted bonus marks. I think I'm going to go ahead and do my gymnastics routine, since I wasn't really good at the other tests. We had to do 3-2-1 skipping, which was skipping for 3 minutes, 2 minutes, then one minute. It was really hard for me, since I haven't skipped in a long time. I got tired after 2 minutes, but I still did well. The skipping was marked, and it was out of six. As in 600 skips. I managed to get 443, which I thought was okay. Kathy, a friend in my class got 7 hundred something. She totally surprised me, I couldn't believe it! After skipping, Mr. Dykstra talked about weight training. I hope it's easier than gymnastics.
