Rainy day

As I'm sitting here typing, I'm looking out the window where it is raining. I'm also checking up on my macaroni and cheese every so often so that it doesn't boil over on to the stove top. This weekend, we also got our cover off of our pool which makes me excited. We can't swim in it yet since it's only 45 degrees in there. We wont start heating it until the end of May because then the nights get warmer so the temperature in the pool stays steady. Well, time to go eat my macaroni and cheese!

Bonfires

Bonfires are fun whether it's warm or cold out. Last night I went to a bonfire with friends and it's just a good time to relax. Even though you might smell like smoke afterwards, it reminds us of fun memories. I went to the bonfire with my best friend. It's nice having your license to go places with your friend so that you can go together and leave together. I can't wait for summer to start.

School

As I was reading Facebook today, I noticed that someone's status had said only 30 more days of school left! Only 30! That's not counting weekends, but still, it's not that long away!This past week I got my license. I didn't have to take my test but I also didn't even have to take my picture again! It's the same one that was on my farmer's license card. I'm glad it was that one because I like that picture. I hope the summer will be fun since it's only 30 days away; give or take a few days.

Glee

Glee is one of my favorite shows. Last year, I remember the first pilot show and I started to like it. Season 2 just started last week. I like the show because every week on iTunes, they add the songs that were on the show. I'm sure they make a lot of money that way. I'm looking forward to this weeks episode with Madonna hits in it. They remake songs and sing them well. Everybody in all ages is obsessed with Glee now.

37 days= Summer

There's only 37 days of school left! (or something like that?) It seems like this year has been going by very fast. That means our high school career is already half done with! It's a little sad to think about. I'm not really looking forward to next year since we have to start looking into colleges and I'm taking some college courses so I hope they won't be too hard. Well, until then, I'll be thinking about Summer.

Weekend

The weekend is here! Yay! I'm glad that it's here because I have a lot of things planned! Tomorrow is my sister's wedding shower! I'm very excited. That means I get to see my favorite cousin. She's from Mankato and her name is Laura. I like her because she is my age and she's really fun to hang out with! She reminds me of myself; always laughing or smiling. I can't wait to see her (:

Accuplacer

I took the Accuplacer test yesterday because I can't take it next week. It's sort of like the MCA tests. I don't normally do well on tests, just because I do better on daily work. It turns out my scores weren't high enough but they weren't low enough that I had to retest which is good. All I have to do is have a parent sign something saying that I can be in the class. It took me an hour and a half, and I hope everyone luck who is taking it next weekend!

Spring days

Yesterday, I had so much fun. It was supposed to be a day that i didn't have anything planned but it turned into a busier day than expected. Keisha and I went walking, about a mile, around the lake. It was good to feel the breeze, by the end, we were sweating because it was getting so hot. Then, we decided to go rollerblading. I haven't gone rollerblading in years so I had no idea what to expect. It turns out that i caught on quickly and I had a blast. I hope to do that again soon. Then, we went to a baseball game. We've never been to a baseball game but it was more fun than we expected. It was a great first day of break.

Warm weather finally (:

You can finally tell that it's spring. I LOVE it! The warm weather has made everyone anxious for summer. Also, I'm excited that it was the end of the quarter today! Also, 5 more days left of March! Then, Easter vacation! Perfect! Hopefully we don't do too much work in our classes next week because it's the beginning of the quarter and there's only 3 days until break. It's going to get in the 60's next week which will also make everything better. Everything is just going perfect.

Tigers roar

Tigers roar was yesterday, tonight and tomorrow. Last night I thought I was gonna be extremely nervous but it actually wasn't that bad. I was actually more nervous in practice actually than at the actual performance. ALDT choreography committee is doing a dance and then I'm in show choir. Our dance was actually better on stage and we felt confident about it afterwards. Hopefully each night we get better at it. I don't think I'll even be nervous to perform it tonight since I feel more comfortable on stage now that I have done it once already. There will probably be a huge amount of people both tonight and tomorrow. I hope it all works out tonight and tomorrow!

It isn't too long from now..

My birthday is less than a month away now. My birthday is on April 15th. It's not really a big deal since I have already taken my farmer's permit and passed my driving text. All I have to do on April 15th is get my picture taken and I'm done! This does mean that I can drive at night now and have passengers in the car with me which will be nice. With my farmer's permit, I can't have any passengers in the car and can only drive during the daytime. But, I am still really excited for April 15th. Hopefully it won't feel too far away..

Show choir

So we had the show choir competition last weekend in Albert Lea and it was super fun. My group, North St. Paul, was so good. They got 2nd in their division and third overall. I was so proud of them. I was nervous with them also because I can tell how hard they work. They are all really nice people too. They didn't cause any problems or trouble at all. I'm glad I got to meet new people and will definitely be hosting them next year. What I thought was gonna be a stressful day, was actually stress-less.

Show Choir

This coming weekend we are hosting the show choir competition at the high school. Macy, Morgan and I are roomies. What we do is decorate North St. Paul's room and pretty much just hang out with them. We take them to warm up and the judging room and do whatever they ask us to do. Tomorrow, we decorate their room. We're doing a beach theme for them which will be fun. I'm excited to meet new people. We also get to perform even though we aren't performing because we're hosting the competition. It should be fun!

Online Shopping

Sometimes I get cravings to go shopping so all I do is just go online and shop. It's so much easier than driving to Mankato or Rochester. It's quicker. Plus, I don't usually buy anything online since that means I'd have to put in a credit card number. But, if there is a really good deal on something, I'll buy it. It's just fun looking at all the new styles and looking at swimsuits since spring and summer are coming up. (:

Summer

There's not a day where I don't think about summer. I'm enjoying this week and how warm it is. In Spanish we actually got to go outside and read our books! It was so nice outside too! It wasn't even cold. Hopefully it'll get into the 40's this weekend which would be exciting because that means spring is coming, which means that summer is right after that. I can't wait to get outside and just take a nice run around the lake soon.

Tigers Roar

Aldt Choreography Committee is in tigers roar this year. We're doing a mix of songs from all different years. We each choreographed a different style of dance like hip hop, jazz, lyrical and high kick. Abby and I were in charge of doing high kick. I love the whole dance so far and it's so fun to do. Tiger's roar practices are next week which I'll have to attend. Also, show choir is in tiger's roar like always so I'll get to do that too!

Show choir

I had a show choir last weekend and we got 4th place which was a decent sized trophy. I thought that we improved so much since the last time that we performed. I was impressed with everyone. During awards, the fire alarms went off. We didn't know what to do so we just stayed in the gym where awards were at. We just thought that someone pulled the fire alarm. Turns out it was real. After awards we packed up all our bags and left. There was a weird smell inside of the school too. I guess a vent wasn't working right and was getting overheated. By the time we left, there were about 4 fire trucks and two ambulances there. It was pretty exciting!

Olympics

I love watching the Olympics no matter what it is. There are so many unique sports. As I was watching the Olympics today, a 16 year old girl made it into the finals of ski jumping. Her life must be so entirely different from ours. And I think I live a busy life? I wonder how many times she practices ski jumping and how many times she goes up and down that great, big hill. It's amazing how good she is already, just think about how good she will be when she gets older.

Freedom!

At last. I don't have anything going on this weekend. Nothing planned for the first time in months. And this will still be my only free weekend within the next month. Now show choir competitions start. First it was dance competitions and now its show choir competitions. Getting up early again for show choir. Dance is officially done now since tryouts were Friday. Now we have to choreograph for tigers roar though! Busy, busy, busy.

ALDTCC

The title of my blog stands for Albert Lea Dance Team Choreography Committee. Yesterday I tried out for it. What you have to do is 2 dances that you made up yourself in front of the team and then be interviewed. My dance routines went alright and I thought I did well on the interview part. That night I got a call that i made ALDTCC. Which means that I'm a choreographer! It's an honor to help choreograph all of the dances and I'm so happy that I made it.

Best days of the year

Tomorrow is what I like forward to every year. It's my all-time favorite event of the whole year. Dance team state. I live and breathe for it. It's all day Friday and Saturday with jazz on Friday and high kick on Saturday. This year my friends Ally and Keisha are coming with to stay in the hotel with me and my mom. It's going to be a blast. Plus it doesn't hurt to have an excused absence from school. (:

Droid

I got a new phone today and it's the Droid. I love it so far. It's touch screen and has a keyboard on it which makes it easier for texting. A cool feature that it has is reading text messages to you while you're driving. Plus you can download a ton of applications. I haven't had a new phone for about a year and a half, so it's nice to switch things up a bit.

As it comes to a close..

All I know is that aldt tried our best. Our best wasn't good enough. It's the end of dance season but there is still state which is next weekend. I'm going to miss school on Friday to go watch. It is my all time favorite time of the year. Staying in a hotel and watching dances all day long on both Friday and Saturday is the definition of fun in my book. The week after state is tryouts for next year. The thing that I'm looking forward to is actually hanging out with my friends on weekends where I don't have anything going on.

Dance..

I can't get enough of it. Today we had our section dinner where we eat, vote for awards, watch slide shows and find out who are secret buddies are. It's a happy time but then it's a sad time. Next weekend is sections in Austin and everyone should come and sheer us on! It's the biggest competition of the season but there's going to be a lot of tough teams there. :/ I love ALDT (:

Winterfest

Winterfest was fun. Besides the DJ not being very good, it was fun. I love seeing people getting all dressed up and looking pretty. I got ready with Annabelle and Chrissy M. and it was so much fun! Then we went over to Rachel's house to take pictures. I had a blast getting dressed up but now it's just time to relax.

Finals Week

I love that if you aren't absent for even three days, you don't have to take finals. I don't have to take finals so I don't even have to go to school Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. However, I still have practice. Even though I don't feel like going, we all have to. We need to get our personal mistakes down to none which could help us so much with our scores. I cannot wait for Big nine to see how we rank with teams around the area.

Dance Galore

This past weekend went to a dance competition which was two hours away. It was in Wayzata where there was a lot of teams that were from the cities. Waking up at 4:30 was not so fun. We loaded the bus at 5 a.m. After we performed high kick it just didn't seem right. All of the dancers seemed that it wasn't a good feeling. As awards came, we all held hands. Third place was called and it wasn't us. We automatically think that we're not going to place. To our extent, they called us for second place. It was the most amazing feeling ever. Chanhassen got first place. They were a team that went to state and to finals last year. We Were 8 points away from first place which made us so happy. Considering they are at level where they go to state, and we don't. We were 30 points away from third place which wasn't even close. I love all of my dance team girls with all my heart. Come support us next weekend at Big nine at Rochester Mayo!

England

Yesterday, in choir, it made my day. Mrs. Heaney announced that we are going to England for our choir trip during the summer of 2011. The last time they went to England was ten years ago. I'm so lucky to have tho opportunity to go there. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. If it doesn't work out to got to England, we're going to go to New York City which would be awesome! I have been to NYC about 4 years ago, but it's hard to remember it. I'll be happy if we go on either trip!

Snow Days!

I absolutely love snow days. Who Doesn't? Personally I thought we should have had a snow day yesterday and just a delay today, oh well! That just means a longer weekend for us! I mean, I get to skip out on my math test which is a plus! If we would've had school today, there would have been no point. There would've been already a lot of people gone! Including Yig and hockey. Snow days are just a day to relax, without any sports' practices. Thank goodness! We have worked our butts off this week!

The last night of 2009.

I couldn't imagine a better night of 2009. It was great with the people I spent it with, and memories that I'll never forget. Sledding, scary movies, pictures, and much more. With school just around the corner, I'm not regretting to go back. It might be hard to wake up, but to just think that half of the school year is almost done, It's worth it. 2009 was a great year of new friends that I hung out with. The summer was unforgettable with everyone, and dance season has been going great. It's crazy to think that only about a month of dance left. ): Hopefully 2010 brings us fun memories. Goodbye 2009.

A trip full of great memories.

There was an unexpected road trip that happened this weekend for my family. My dad recently bought an Arctic Cat Prowler in Wisconsin, so what we decided to do at the last minute, was take a 4 hour road trip to Wisconsin. We decided to go the night before and spend the night in a hotel. As we were driving, the daytime turned to night fall. When we were half an hour away from our hotel, we had a flat tire. My family and I has never had a flat tire in our life. Not to mention we were in the middle of no where, surrounded by trees, with a windchill advisory. With my dad's knowledge, we were on our way in half an hour. There's a lot more stories to tell, but that was just one story. The trip was great, and the Prowler is fun to ride.
