apparently

We took a trip to the gym on Friday for one last time. Papa had something to talk over with Coach Yulia and I needed to clean out my locker.

I'm glad he was keeping her busy because I definitely wouldn't have been prepared if I had to face her. Guennadi gave me a hug and said he missed me, no more than that. Just that he missed me. I'm going to miss him too.

Apparently Yulia said a lot of things.

Apparently she's done SO much for me and I'm very ungrateful.

Apparently I told my teammates that my dad is strict and he doesn't feed me and he makes me workout extra and he makes me work in the family business because we're so poor.

(Is this the same Yulia who thought it was so cool that I was a personal trainer and told me to never give up what I loved and I would definitely succeed?)

Apparently after I had resigned she went home and canceled me as a friend on facebook.

And because I quit gymnastics I'm most likely going to quit everything else I start in life "and before you know it I'll get pregnant or something."

Wow.

This went on for a whole hour while I was out on the floor catching up with my teammates. When she got tired of ranting and Papa got the financial issues taken care of he came out.

He was really confused and questioned me about it later. I really didn't know what to say. I had never been so disrespected in all my life. And the upsetting thing was that it was by someone who was my mentor, role model and guide for such a long period of time.

I was upset and angry for a couple hours and then realized how ridiculous it was and now I can't stop laughing.

The little bit of truth in all those lies was the fact that I did "quit" even though it was for a good reason. The greatest revenge is success.

I was really tempted to go to her facebook wall and say "haha we're still friends."

I find it all quite amusing.
