weekend 2

On Friday my grandparents picked me up from school!! I WAS SO HAPPY! :) they picked me up and then we went to my piano class and then just relaxed and played Phase 10... my dad won :) Then we all watched Avatar, and once again I cried at the end :(... it's so sad!!

On Saturday i woke up sick... I couldn't talk I was dizzy and my whole body hurt :( thankfully it got a bit better but not that much. We celebrated Mother's Day on Sat. since my grandma was here. We got my mom a necklace that I think she really enjoyed. We also went to this beautiful river where we all had a delicious picnic and we all got soaking wet!!! That was the best part! We came home and we all rested and had a really good dinner.

Now today (Sunday) I have to go to violin from 1:30-who knows what time. Today is my violin concert where we're going to play Beethoven's First Symphony!! I am so excited I can hardly wait! I still feel sick today but just my throat hurts. I'm going to try my hardest to not talk (which might be a tad hard) :). Well wish me luck!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend as well! :)

Today

Today, I had ballet again and commented on mostly everyone's blog. Right know I am showing my dad and mom "Hamlet" and they are loving it!!! They found the scene with the queen and Ophelia's scene is very dramatic!!

THANKS!!

by the way: THANKS FOR COMMENTING EVERYONE!! :)

weekend

Well, what can I say about my weekend... On Friday I went to piano right after school and then immediately went to ballet from 5:00-11:00!!!! I was so tired once I got home and went to bed quickly!

SATURDAY:

On Saturday I woke up at 11:00 (obviously) and just helped around the house and relaxed. At 1:00 I had pointe class until 2:00 and got 3 blisters... OUCHIE!! My mom then went on a couple of errands with my dad and got my friend (Elizabeth) a gift for her birthday. I then had to go back to ballet again 5:00-11:00... we had lots of fun and we all celebrated Elizabeth's 13th birthday which was really fun! :) I came home and once again immediately fell asleep... nitey nite!

SUNDAY:

Today I woke up at 8:00 to wish my mom a happy mother's day! She read my poem and loved it soooo much. My friend Hannah and her brother Hunter came over and we played for a less than an hour and had a water fight which was really fun. I then went out to lunch with my mom and dad and relaxed after that. I went to violin at 4:00 and caught up with my friend Ilexis... :)

Right now I'm reading some of my book! BYE BYE! :)

BRAINOLOGY (module 1 & 2)

Brainology has made a real big difference for me and it has motivated me to work hard on all my projects and regular work. The most important "hint" I will always remember, are positive thoughts. I would always say I would fail on a test I was just about to take, and then I usually wouldn't have done the best I could have done. Recently, I have been thinking positive thought and square breathing and have gotten better test scores.

Also, I put in what I really enjoy into writing. Since I don't really like writing, inserting things i do like to do helps me enjoy writing a lot more. Whenever I have nothing to write about I could write about traveling or dancing.

Finally, Brainology has put a great impact on not only me but also on whole Room 14. So, THANK YOU BRAINOLOGY!
