Busy busy busy...

Tuesday, the 14th, I did a presentation about vaulting and my upcoming trip to Kentucky at a country club in west covina. They served me breakfast, which I didn't eat a whole lot of since I was about to present to them. Public speaking is not my favorite activity. It wasn't a super huge group, but it's still enough to get me nervous.

Wednesday I went to class where I had to do another presentation, this one also included vaulting. That presentation was so much shorter, but made me a lot more nervous just because I'm much more comfortable talking about vaulting than I am about assignments. After I told my class about vaulting they were amazed and asked a whole lot of questions, which actually made me more comfortable speaking. After I was done with my 5 slide PowerPoint, the class made me show them videos of me vaulting. Once my two classes were over I had 45 minutes to get myself back over to the fairgrounds, dressed, and be ready to do a demo.

Thursday I did another donation presentation at a luncheon. I had no way to show them my power point so I had to just speak off of the outline from it. I also had to speak into a microphone..that was odd.

After I finished speaking I went back over to the fair to do 3 performances. One of which several of my friends and dad got to see.

Friday we arrived at the fair around noon and actually got a chance to walk around and explore. The grounds were pretty empty and you could actually see all the different attractions, instead of just seeing a sea of people. I discovered that there is a circus section of the fair where they have elephant rides, aerial arts, and the worlds smallest horse. They also have a pirate and medieval section. The pirate area has a ship with pirates sword fighting, a stage where I assume there is more sword fights along with some aerial arts, and a pool filled with water and inflated balls that you can roll around in while floating in the pool. The building with the medieval activities in it also had a large section with art submitted from all the different schools in the area. They had quite a bit of drawings, but also had photographs and a ceramic section which I quite enjoyed. We then walked back over to do our last demo at the fair, it went well and another set of my friends were there to watch. They said they had no idea it was that awesome. A few hours later we packed up and went home to get some much needed rest.. I'm still sore from those 3 days of vaulting.
