Re: Cheer elections

Alright, we voted today at practice....

Congratulations on getting elected Captain for next year! I'm your co-captain, and I'm waiting to see if Ginny is interested in being "Spirit Coordinator" (she was elected, but she wasn't there today so I want to make sure she's okay with it).

YAY~!!!!
thanks amanda :)

i cannot wait for cheerleading again!
for a long time (and even now), it's been one of my 生きがい [something one lives for]
^_^ !!!!!!!

We can't wait to have you back here! Most of the girls had never cheered before, so we're still working on basics. But they're really eager to learn and they're working really hard, so we should be ready for some fun next fall!

Take care, and enjoy the rest of your time in Japan!

eeEEEeEeeEeeEee!!!!!!!

it's about time i fly again ^_^

for whatever reason, i decided to practice some cheer stunts (on a wobble board) after stretching at renaissance tonight.

then a trainer comes up to me, and i thought i was about to be scolded for doing strange things on the wobble board in the stretching area. instead, she started to say something about cheer, but then she saw the middlebury cheerleading shirt i was wearing. やっぱり (after all/as it turns out/"i thought so"), she says.

long story short, she's on a cheerleading squad based in osaka and wants me to join ^_^  practices are saturdays and sundays from 11am to 5, 6pm.  if it's both days every weekend, then i might have to reconsider, but it's much better than what doshisha's squad requires.

i had contacted the doshisha cheer angels in september, but all hope was lost when i found out that practices were three weekdays (at three hours each day) and once or twice on the weekend (at six or seven hours) PLUS, having to cheering for doshisha's sports teams at their games. furthermore, practices are held at tanabe campus, about an hour an a half (one way) from imadegawa campus, where i have my classes. it's also expensive for me to commute there because my 定期 (commuting passes) take me nowhere near tanabe.

so until tonight, i thought joining  a cheer squad in japan was pretty much 無理 (impossible)
