Hi, Everyone!!!

Thank you for the well wishes, you guys!!! (Just came back from Pilates class...)

I'm still coming off the test session and still can't believe that this test is finally done!!! As cecealias says, it's been a lot of years of work and frustration! As soon as I passed I was practically CRYING onto my test forms!!! Believe me, when I said I barely passed, I meant "by the skin of my teeth!!!"

I still got Bronze FS test to go, so I'm not quite yet out of the "Pre-Bronze FS Club for Life" club yet. As for when I'm testing...hmmm? Depends on who you ask! Jay did say "You better be jumping tomorrow at Berkeley, cuz you're taking NEXT TEST SESSION in Sept!!! (He was SERIOUS!!!) I of course, had to remind him "Should I get my loop consistent first???"

But yes, I can FINALLY skate High FS at our Club Ice session!!!

I think what's required of Bronze FS is so easy compared to Bronze Moves. It's like a vacation. Not to mention it's a 1:40 compared to what, at least ten minutes for the Bronze Moves test?

I'm taking mine in two weeks. Watch me have jinxed myself and now I'll have to retry.

12 minutes at my rink and yes, true up to a point! Though if I have to take any FS tests, I'd rather take it at a test session that doesn't have a lot of skaters, since I would not have that much of a wait between the early morning warm-up before the test session starts and when my test actually is. At my rink the way the test sessions are organized is dances, then moves, then FS! This could take 20 minutes if the session is very quiet, or this could take 1.5 hr to 2 hrs, so you have to keep yourself warm off-ice the entire time. I hate it... but it's necessary!!!

I know what jumps and spins YOU have based on your lesson/practices post... should be a vacation for you!

Yes, but those jumps are better for me than the ones I have to do for the test. Waltz/toe? Not something I do on a regular basis.

WOW

I know that I was more estatic when I passed my skills test than the freeskate. Moves (skills) are just a beast. The freeskate's gonna be FUN!

Great feeling, eh?
