WINTER FESTIVAL

Moshi moshi!
The Winter Festival was a week ago. It's a gymnast event where troops from all over our region participate and show what they're good for. There were a lot of great performances, but Fredrikstad Turn were the best as always. Not strange considering they're the second best in the ENTIRE WORLD!
Didn't get to take any pictures, cause I only had my cell, but here's a pic of the food we got

CHRISTMAS BONUS

Hi cupcakes!
Told you a while ago was my last day at work till next year, and that I got both a christmas bonus and a little gift from one of my gymnasts.

Christmas Show

Moshi moshi!
Sunday, last weekend, was my last day at work. It was the christmas show of this year. My girls performed well, although there were some misses.

All of us coaches we're given a gift certificate at our closest mall as a bonus for this years hard work. I spent it on a dress from H&M and some stockings, which I didn't find any pictures of online, but they were really cute, with some kind of dotty texture.

Check out that loner in the corner

One of my girls was foolin' around at practice a while ago!

Gymnastics

Moshi moshi !

I am currently working as the coach of two groups in something called show dance. It's a mix between both gymnastics and dance. We do all kinds of dance really, except for ball room and that kind of stuff! It's been years since I myself was a gymnast, but I still feel I know it very well in theory. I know what they're supposed to do, and how it's supposed to look. I sometimes train with my pupils to freshen up ! Ignore how bad it looks! Remember it's been four or five years since last time I did this!

For the christmas show, we decided to be dolls. I thought that Knock Out with GD&TOP would be perfect for this, and the thing turned out pretty darn good! Here's a little video I took early on in the process. They're looking way better now, and we're going to add in some throws and lifts to add some gymnastics!

Yesterday

So yesterday I didn't post anything, due to lack of internet. I think the lightning struck somewhere and caused the internet to disappear, and didn't reappear until today.

So yesterday my class and I went on a road trip, actually. We had a buss that drove us around between different locations, which all were architectonical "monuments", to say it that way. There was a big leap in time between each of the posts. The oldest was from the 1400's, and the newest was erected almost exactly one year ago.

First we visited Fredriksten fortress (1661)

Don't know shit 'bout reflex cameras, so my sister changed the setting taking in consideration what weather it was, but of course the weather changed throughout the day. And me being the noob that I am, I didn't think of changing the setting to auto before halfway through the last stop. So some of the pictures have really weird lighting.

Next stop was Solbergtårnet (2010)

And then the last stop on our tour was Hafslund hovedgård. The property has been inhabited since the 14th or 15th century, but the buildings standing today are from the 18th century.

Later that day I attended the second part of my coach course.

This course has been really good so far. I've attended three of four parts, third today, and I'm really happy with the whole thing. It's been really helpful and I've gained more confidence in my role as a gymnastics coach. I've been really fortunate to get this and more to come for free through my club. In addition to being helpful when it comes to my job as a coach, it will also be a really good thing to carry when you're applying for jobs later in life, no matter what kind of job.

I was planning on seeing the Norwegian film Hodejegerne today, but I was too freakin' tired after having trained from 10am till 3pm. I was also planning on heading to the solarium to get a tan for our first gym lesson on Monday. I keed, I keed. No, I'm serious...

Anywhore... So today, all I managed to do was; put a pie in the oven, eat it, and nothing more.

Exciting...
