Tumbling in gym class. Ow.

V showed up again at rehearsal this afternoon.

I was right! We did start tumbling in gym. I hurt my back, I think, doing a human arch. I sat at K's tonight and got $1.50. They want me to sit for them on March 31, too, when they go to see the Navy Band. I said I would, since I couldn't get tickets.

Not a human arch, a backbend, also the Chakrasana in yoga. It’s considered a Level 2 skill in gymnastics, not a thing you do the first day with no warm up. But then again, our teacher “taught” gymnastics by giving us an illustrated booklet and letting us try stuff. Field hockey was more her thing.
