Day 42, 43, 44, 45, and 46:

Day 42:
Twas a Thursday, but no school. Could not do anything because i had to watch my little siblings.

Day 43:
Same deal.

Day 44:
Saturday, and still had to stay home to watch the kids. sigh

Day 45:
Sunday, didn't go to church, but did go to my friend, Danielle's birthday party. The strawberry cake was delicious.

Day 46:
First official day I could go out and skate. I went out. When I got the Jackson Elementary, I thought I saw my friend skating inside. We always skate in the school, because of the 5 stair and tabletop drops. When I skated over to the skaters, they were not my friends. Yet, they were a local shop's team. They were skating up a little bank over a table top. I just stood and watched as one of them ollied flatground over the table and into the little bank. Then another skater was going for kickflip footplant. He landed it 7th or 8th try. Then another guy was attempting Nollie Shove it over the table. I didn't see him land. But that would have been sick.
After watching them I decided I wanted to skate so I was attempting ollieing over the table too. I was  very close to landing but each time I popped the board and got over, my tail hit the table. I landed my first backside 50-50. That was one of those tricks that i could never get, but I got it anyway. Landed it 3 times while there. Stoked.
After a couple more tries at the ollie over the table, I decided to go find my friends again. I found my friend Carlos. We skated for about an hour, played a game of skate, then we split for he had to go to a previous engagement.
I skated all the way to my friend Eric's house. We chatted. Started to get dark so I split from there.
Then I felt like skating more before going back home.I found a manny pad. I skated that for about a half an hour. I was just going for Ollie up, heelflip off. I can't believe how hard it is to just ollie up then heelflip. I just could not do it. Either way, I am still going to attempt that again, and land it.
Went home. Chillin <3
