So this is kind of the halfway point in the challenge, so I thought I would talk about how everything is going. Even though for the past 2 days we have had snow days, I forgot to do a blog post for yesterday, so I am writing this a day late. The challenge has been pretty hard sometimes because I can’t think of any ideas. Sometimes parts of the challenge can be easy because I had already written a blog post for that day, so I don’t have to worry about it.My favorite part about doing the challenge is that I have a sense of accomplishment for doing a blog post everyday!It’s a serious accomplishment for me because I have to write around a very busy schedule, which can be hard sometimes.Also the best thing for me is being able to read all of my friends blog posts to find ideas for my own. My least favorite part of the challenge is when you are writing your blog post and then you leave it to do something else, then when you come back to finish it, I have no idea what I was writing. This has happen to me SO MANY TIMES! Also the best thing for me is being able to read all of my friends blog posts to find ideas for my own.

So today, we had our 1st snow day for this winter season! I thought that we weren’t going to have any more snow since it’s mid March, but I was wrong! I had lots of fun in the afternoon, but in the morning, not so much. My dad asked me and my sister to help him shovel the driveway, so we did. We were outside for about an hour or so when we finished, so we went over to our  neighbors house and helped him for another 30 minutes. When me and my dad finally went inside, my dad went to my other neighbor’s house to help shovel their driveway too. I can’t believe that he did that after being outside for about 2 hours without a break. I went inside, then got ready to go to my friend’s house. I went to my friends house and we went sledding down the hill with their neighbor. We went inside because it was to cold and we made hot chocolate. Then for 2 hours, we were in her basement, talking about the most random stuff. (don’t ask) Now, for the craziest thing I did that day, we tried to a bunch of crazy yoga poses and let’s just say we weren’t very good at it! That was my snow day!

Sorry I forgot to post this on Monday!

So over this past weekend, I was at Imagine Dance Challenge which is a dance competition. I also said in my Friday post that I would share my results, so here how my dances did!

I have 10 dances, 9 of them were on Saturday, and 1 in Sunday. In the morning, I had 3 dances, Xplosion, which is Hip Hop, Bang Dem Sticks, which is Jazz, and Heaven is a Place, which is lyrical. Bang Dem Sticks got 2nd place, Heaven is a Place got 3rd place, and Xplosion got 5th place at the 1st awards.

In the afternoon, I had 6 dances. Those are District 12, which is Acro, The Climb, which is lyrical, You’ve got that love, which is tap, Rainbow sleeves, which is  contemporary, Jailbirds, which is Jazz, and Covergirl, which is Hip Hop. District 12 got 8th place, The climb got 4th place, You’ve got that love got 9th, Rainbow sleeves got 4th, jailbirds got 9th place, and Covergirl got 3rd place.

On sunday, I only had one dance which was my jazz production, which is called Rihanna. That got 5th place overall.  Felt that I did a good job and i am proud of the many groups that got 1st place at my studio!

This weekend, I have quite a few things to do. The thing that I am most excited for is my 1st competition for this season! I will be going to Imagine dance competition in Woodbridge. I have 9 dances that I have to preform which includes 2 lyricals, 2 jazzes, 2 hip hops, 1 production, 1 tap, and 1 acro. I always complain when I have to do quick changes when some people have 30 dances! I’ll be at the competition from 7 am on Saturday till 5:30 at the end of the day. I will be there on Sunday from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. This year will be my 6th year competing and my 9th year dancing. Yes, I HAVE BEEN DANCING FOR 9 YEARS! I am going to do a post on how I did at my competition on the 13th!

Some people know that I am a competition dancer, but not a lot of people know that I do a lot of ballet. Currently, the most ballet I do a week is 8 ½ hours a week. Yes, 8 ½ HOURS A WEEK! Doing ballet for 8 ½ hours a week can be pretty tiring, but the thing that tires me the most is POINTE! Pointe is when you are dancing on a special type of shoe that makes you look like you are dancing on your toes. Prima Ballerinas make it look effortless and it looks like it doesn’t hurt at all, but the truth is….

IT HURTS SO MUCH!!!

I’ve been on pointe for about a year and I can feel my feet starting to shrivel away. (I’m exaggerating that) You work so hard to get pointe shoes, then when your teacher says yes and you do your first class, you will start to regret it. BUT, after a few classes, you will start to be normal. The other thing that also hurts so bad is when your pointe shoes are dead. No, they aren’t choking on the floor. It means that they are so overused that they start to break. I am going to stop writing because I have NO IDEA how to finish this post 🙂

I have done this before and I thought it was fun, so I am doing it again!

Wonder’s of a 6th Grader!

1.Why do we stop having recess in middle school/ I know we still have P.AT time, but for 10 minutes? Once a week? In my opinion, that is going to make us more crazy and unruly. All we want to do is let out some of our unneeded crazy energy.

2.Why can’t what we pick what we want to during P.E? Not a lot of people play things like hockey and you don’t know if they enjoy it too. During P.E, we should be able to practice our sport instead of doing sports that we don’t even like? Doesn’t that make sense?

3.What’s the point of being popular? What is it going to get you myself in life. It isn’t going to help us get into a good college or become the President of the United States. After we finish High School, College, etc, it would never really help us in our adult life.

Over the weekend on Saturday,my dad had gotten a good “report card” at work, which is where they get judged on how much work and how good it is and make some sort of a grade and his was kind of an A+. On Saturday, my mom surprised him and we took him to an oyster place in Leesburg. When we got there, we did the normal thing and we waited for a table. When we were seated, we did the normal thing and looked at the menu and ordered a drink, all that stuff. While I was looking around the room, I saw someone, someone that everyone at this school knows. Who was it? MR.PHILLIPS!! I was sitting next to my sister and we were both saying oh no because it’s awkward to see teachers or principals outside of school. Then when I looked over there again, I noticed another person, Ms. Nathan. Then I noticed ANOTHER person,(last one) a guy with a George Washington wig on !?! There table started to stand up to leave, so I decided to just turn my head and eat an oyster. They did not see me, but they did see my sister! Hope you thought that was kind of funny!

On this very day, I have to take 2 TESTS today!:( One in Science and one in Math.You know what also stinks, there right after the other! I have math 2nd block and science 3rd block. Usually, I wouldn’t really have a problem with having 2 tests in one day, but math and science are my worst subject. I love all the experiments we do in science, but I am not as good at retaining the information for it. For me, math can just be super boring and super hard sometimes.Comment down below if you have the same problem! 🙂
