Hi Everyone,

A lot has been going on lately since my last journal entry. First of all I want to wish everyone a very happy new year! I can't believe how fast 2004 went by. I am so excited that I officially signed with UCLA on November 10. It still seems so surreal right now. I committed while I was there because I knew right when I arrived that it just fit. I waited until I spent time with the team to make a decision, and once I did, I knew that there is no better place for me to spend the next four years of my life.

Practice has been going well. Right now I am just training, and my first meet will be our host meet at Navy Pier. I have camp January 8, which is just a working camp in which we do not verify like usual. I am pretty healthy right now and I am hoping that this year will be an injury free season ! I recently got a new floor routine to the music Magaya, and Nancy Roach choreographed it. I love it and I can't wait to finally compete it. I have put some new skills in my beam routine, and in the process of putting together a new bar routine.

That is pretty much it for now. I hope everyone had a great holiday, and I will hopefully have another journal soon after camp.

Love,
Kristina
