Short Program

So after walking back to the hotel, we got dressed for short program. Our purple dresses and make-up made us feel all the more sexy in our program. However, while we were getting ready, Megan had tossed her pudding cup on the bed which wasn't the best place to put it because soon after, Donatella comes along and accidentally sits on the pudding cup. It explodes in the sheets and they try to clean it up, but Megan is more worried about the fact that she wouldn't be able to eat her pudding any more.

Once our hair and make-up were done, we took our dresses and walked to the rink. We found a place outside to warm up and walk through our programs. When we walked into our locker room, we put our dresses on and chilled for awhile. We got pumped up by singing our Big Spender song at the top of our lungs to beat out the people shouting in the locker room next to us (it's a good thing we don't sing while we're on the ice...). We put on our skates, walked out to the rink, and prepared ourselves by taking deep breaths and massaging the skater in front of us.

We stepped onto the ice, confident and feeling sexy, and skated a great short program. We beat our score from Porter and were happy to have skated the way we did. We are sitting in 10th place right now (aside Starlights who are in 9th) and we will be skating 6th for the long tonight. After taking off our skates and dresses, we went up to the stands to watch the rest of the teams skate. A lot of us haven't been able to attend an international competition, so it was cool to see teams from different countries. The event ended around 11, so we walked back to our hotel after the draw and went straight to bed.

This morning, we were able to sleep in until 9 am. We went down for breakfast and had time to get ourselves ready for long program official practice. In a conference room down stairs, we had off-ice to warm us up and go over small details. Walking to the rink has now become a breeze (since we have walked it many times over the last week), and we had another off ice before going into the locker room and putting our skates on. Our practice went very well and we did (almost) 2 full programs. Were happy with our practice and pulled our skates off and walked back to our hotel. We ate at the same Italian restaurant that we ate at on Wednesday and had a very satisfying lunch. Now we're back at the hotel taking naps, doing homework, and (of course) updating the blog :]
