Fall Semester

2011-12-23T20:22:00.000-08:00

The first semester living in Pocatello was great. I learned a lot of new materiel and improved greatly in technique and basically everything else that isn't fun in Ballet. I got three parts in the Nutcracker; Soldier Doll in Party Scene, Nutcracker Doll in Battle Scene and Russian Candy Cane in The Land of the Sweets. Soldier doll was great, the choreography included; pirouettes, double tours, barrel rolls and grande pirouettes for any of you who understand what those steps are. Also, it was a solo so that made it twice as good. Nutcracker doll was stupid except the part where I catch Clara. Russian was as usual, amazing. I even got to skip the Danish dance which is pretty awesome. In all it was a great performance. My parents had a meeting with my Ballet Teachers and they said they might and be sending audition tapes to; The Royal Ballet, American Ballet Theater, San Francisco Ballet, Vienna Ballet and the Paris Ballet. It's kind of scary thinking of living in another country so Pocatello is kind of the main option right now. For me as a Ballet Dancer, you never call yourself good, different people call you good which can kind of be annoying. When you think you're completely screwing up on a step other dancers and your instructors say you're doing it perfectly. That's why you have to be self criticizing of yourself so the step your doing is so good even you're happy with it. When you reach that point the feeling is amazing and it pushes you to do more, that's why ballet is so addicting.

No i'm not getting a big head Mom so don't think about saying anything about that.

Here's some photos from the show.

Dance and Netbooks

2011-08-11T20:17:00.000-07:00

Holy crap it's been a while since I've done this so i thought I'd try AGAIN.

Here's what's going on:

1.dance: I have started to train at the Brindusa Moore Ballet Academy where I started training in June of 2010. It's pretty fun and exciting and another plus about it is I'm good enough to go to YAGP next February in 2012. I actually live about 550 miles from the school so what we're going to do is to about 80% there and 20% at home and let me tell you it is a HUGE pain in the butt. Eight-ten hours of driving may not sound like a whole lot but it is when you have to do it hundreds and hundreds of times.I worship and figure out steps from , Mikhail Baryshnikov , Tetsuyu Kumakawa , Ivan Vasiliev, Daniil Simkin and of course my teachers .

And this is why I'm so good.

2.netbook: Netbooks are some seriously cool tech. in fact I wouldn't be writing this post if weren't for them and of course my very great wealth .HA HA dad i have the better computer!Ok gotta go

Good So Far

2010-03-27T09:05:00.000-07:00

Saturday march 27 2010

Today is a little faster then yesterday. We have my uncles family driving in today they'll be stopping for a while. after that my aunts family is driving in, hopefully. They will be getting in a little late so we don't know if they'll be stopping by. We're hopping that they get in early enough that they can get a hotel room so we can go swimming and see them. Last night wasn't to bad, we went to a potluck without my knowledge, we played that board game I was telling you about. It's actually starting to grow on me, by the way it's called Smallworld.

After that I started this book called the book thief. It's a little confusing right now but my mom says that it gets better. Today I think everything will be a bunch funner and faster.

I hope your day is fun and fast!

slow day..... what to do?

2010-03-26T12:07:00.000-07:00

Friday march 26 2010

Today nothing is happening much. I watched some TV, we got balloons and letters from our grandma, and had breakfast. I'm thinking of something to do but there's nothing to do! The only thing I've come up with is going to the park but my dad has the car. I guess I could go to the............what? We have another park about three blocks away but it's cold and rainy + we went there yesterday. Things I kinda want to do: We have a grocery store that I know how to get to, my dads work is only about 6 or 7 blocks from here, I know how to get to the library but we went there a few days ago + A bunch of homeless hang around there,really. I hope I will be able to find another book to read or something. The only thing I have to look forward to is drinking coke for dinner and after that playing a board game. Hopefully your day is a bunch more fun. not that I'm complaining, it's just a slow day.

slow.

what plaguis is

2009-10-16T11:08:00.000-07:00

so now that I've got you in the script I'm going to tell you who plagues is. in episode three chanecler palpitine and Anakin have just discovered where general grievous is. he tells Anakin about the story of plagues the wise. plagues the wise was the master of Darth Cidius. plagues is the former sith and was very powerful so powerful that he could bring people he cared about the most.....life. everybody with power fears to lose it which he did. unfortunately he and an apprentice. he taught him everything he knew and then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. ironic is it he could save others but not himself. but that's most of what he said so I'll see you on the next post.

p.s this line was from star was episode III.

I don't exactly do well with this type of blog posts so I've come up with a different way to do blog posts.I have done a bit of scripting and writing on plays and movies for the future. and my mom's kinda worn out on "oh that's a good idea" or "that's interesting" or "your good at this".
so on the next post i plan on putting on my play and movie ideas.

books

2009-10-09T11:57:00.000-07:00

I finally found a few boooks to read after finishing the Harry Potter series. After finishing the series I wanted to read more Harry Potter But alas there where where no more. But I found this good series called Fabelhaven. And I finally got to the star wars book my dad got me for christhmas. I guess it has a series. Its not to bad for Star Wars. If you have any suggustions for a 10 year old boy go ahead and comment them on.

My Sisters Blog

2009-06-14T17:04:00.000-07:00

This is my sisters blog she just started and i will help her just this one time. check it out.

My Retainer

2009-06-11T09:10:00.000-07:00

A couple days ago our town started lunch parks that are free. On the first day we were there I put my retainer in some tin foil. My dad accidentally crunched up the tin foil with my retainer in it! I forgot it was in there so I threw away the garbage into the Dumpster. In the garbage bag was the tin foil, inside the tin foil was my retainer! We came home and I realized my mouth couldn't feel my retainer. My heart was beating for takeoff. my knees where getting ready to play drums my lungs were dead my brain hurt like crazy. I had lost my retainer and I knew exactly where it was. I yelled at my dad where my retainer was. We drove to the Dumpster I just knew there was going to be hundreds of bags to go through and ones to try not to step on, but there where only five bags. I looked through them very carefully my heart beat went down I could breath my knees stopped shaking my retainer was in the bag in the tin foil exactly where it had been. I thought I would jump all the way to the moon when I saw it. I got out ran back to my Dad and showed him my retainer and he looked close to crying when he saw it. We walked back to the van and my dad told a story about him nearly loosing his retainer in the end he found it exactly where he had left it.

Finally Warmth!

2009-05-05T13:06:00.000-07:00

Its been really nice having the sun out again. We've gone to a fair and we've gone to the park more. I just got a hoop for Easter. Since then me and my dad have been playing basketball a lot. Right now I am writing this post as I look out the window. We got all the bikes pumbed up and all the wheels are patched up. The chains have been greased up and the metal is shining clean. I have also been working on sombody's garden. I hope it will get even warmer!

p.s sorry I have not written a post in over a mounth.

Dumb Heaters

2009-03-22T21:52:00.000-07:00

My parents have a BIG problem, The two of them stay up late playing so fun Facebook and all this crap while we kids lay in our cold rooms waiting next to the heater till it turns on while they sit in the warm and comfy couch and all the heaters in the room, There's about 6 heaters in the living room!
There about half a heater in our room. I am not satisfied with the heaters in our home because there off more then there on+ they don't produce enough heat. this is the reason we we sleep in all the time cause its always warm in the morning. my parents wake up earlier then us which is weird beacuse they have the coldest room in the house! Wich solves the mistery why they stay in the living beacuse there to cold!

Salt Lake City!

2009-03-10T11:27:00.000-07:00

On Friday afternoon me and my family went to salt lake city. It's nearly not even close to being easy to travel which I have learned through the years. But I have also learned that we don't haft to do any chores on trips. So that's pretty much the best thing about traveling. We stayed in embassy's hotel which was freaky cause it was tall! And when I mean tall I mean tall! The elevator's have Glass in them so you can see clear down to the eating area! But I guess I haven't seen anything yet, according to my mom. But it was still scary. We went down for snacks at first then we went back up to our hotel room and watched TV. Then we had the best most expensive pizza we have ever had but it was worth it. that pizza was the best pizza I have ever had in my life! But it cost 40$! We went to bed and the next morning I took a shower and went down for breakfast at 6:30 in the morning so it's still a little early for breakfast so I went back up stairs to my sister 3 + she is 3. this is what I here I want to go dwn thee elvatr ples so I had to take her down the elevator in her pajamas and me in one shoe! But we had brekfast and we went to the elevators and went up and down them. Then we we watched harry potter for half an hour until we lost time. We had to check out by 12:00 it was 11:55! oh no everybody get a basket and pillow and bag and go down stairs! we checked out just in time...whewwwwwwwwwwwww! We went to the tram and rode that to temple square. Then we went to a space place then we went to lunch then we went back to our car and drove off. Don't tell my sisters but I got my own pop can because they where asleep. Don't tell!

Moving Was Hard!

2009-03-02T10:17:00.000-08:00

Moving may have been the hardest thing I had ever done. It was 10 hours, to town number 2 from town number 1, away and most of our family was in town number 1. It was unbelievable! We would only get to visit them twice a year! And heck, so far we've been here for 3 years and we've seen them 6 times. Let's go and rewind a bit and I will tell you the first time I saw my house, house number 2. We walked into house number 15 we had looked at. I walked in this big red room which is now crowded all the time. I walked around went down stairs and I saw all this garbage! It was a trashy house. I don't know how my parents knew this was the house but three years later it was definitely the house, but we had already moved inside. Anyway, I walked into what is my bedroom now and sat down where my bed would be in three years and drew a picture of it. We walked around some more and I thought this was the trashiest house I had ever seen! Now it is simply beautiful! It still needs some work but we have a very successful house now.

Homemade Rocket

2009-02-09T08:52:00.000-08:00

I am someone that loves rockets and building rockets. As you know Alan Shepard was the first American man in space.

And this is his rocket...

This is me...

And this is close as I can get to my rocket.
It cant even get half an inch off the ground. Someday I hope I won't blow myself up with a match and gasoline. And hopefully not dynamite.

New Year's !!!!

2009-01-08T08:19:00.000-08:00

A couple day ago my family went on a trip to Utah. We first went to McDonald's and played on the toys and stuff. Then, we went to a hotel. Then, after we got all signed in, we went swimming. I am evil, but I pulled on sister 3's leg in the pool. Ain't I a devil.

Well after that dunking business we went to the hotel room and watched tv. Most of the time.

Well, after being told we had to stop jumping on the beds, I went downstairs and drank some hot chocolate while I exercised in the exercise room. Then I went back to the hotel room and watched The Office TV show until I fell asleep.
The next morning I went downstairs for brekfeast. Then we packed all up and drove to the plane musuem which that was VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then we went home. It was a very fun trip.

The Night Scolding

2008-12-30T08:32:00.000-08:00

If you don't stay up until midnight, you don't know what I am talking about. You see, watching movies tell midnight is fun; until the TV is unplugged. Well, upstairs again. But if I don't fall asleep, I can watch the movie and if the person comes to unplug it, I jump onto them. Uh oh! I think I am in trouble. At least it lasts to ten o'clock. Me and my parents watched a rocket movie last night. We watched two episodes until they were too tired. Ya right! So as soon as they went to bed I turned the TV back on. I watched an episode and a half. Then it was unplugged. Hey!!! Mom: GET TO BED!!!!!!!! Me: I was going to learn how they......... Mom: b-e-d bed. Well, back to the down feathers. p.s. they smell bad.

Morning List

2008-12-17T06:55:00.000-08:00

Then i get dressed and get a blanket and sit in the living room with my Dad and talk. After my Dad goes to school I then go wake everybody up. First I wake up the Baby because she isn't sad when I wake her up. Then I wake up sister 4, then I wake up sister 2 which she was a little grump even when she told me too wake her up.

Like getting the Christmas tree and decorating it. And then decorating the house on the inside and outside. Then everybody got to go Christmas shopping too. Then everybody got to go Christmas caroling. Then pictures for Christmas. Then Christmas Eve plus one present. then finally after waiting a whole year it's Finally Christmas. It's so fun to see everybody's faces as soon as they get their gifts.Christmas is not just Christmas day but the Christmas season.

Thanksgiving Fun!

2008-12-11T18:23:00.000-08:00

A couple of weeks ago was Thanksgiving. We all went to my aunt's house and had a heck of a time! We played with her dogs and they were fun. We went inside to relax and then we watched movies like My Dog Skip and The Dark Crystal.

Then we all had Chinese food. Then we talked a little bit. Then that night me and my dad and aunt watched horror movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See you later romantic movies. Boo!!!! Then I laid down on the couch and just when I was about to fall asleep the dog jumped on top of my head! After I kicked it off I fell asleep. The next morning I ate cereal and watched Christmas Story. Then I was told to read my book but I fell asleep instead.

then when i woke up Thanksgiving dinner was ready. we then packed and drove home. that day was pretty fun.

1942

2008-12-09T10:52:00.000-08:00

In 1942 the B-25 airplane flew off a carrier. They flew over the Pacific Ocean to Japan and bombed it. Then they landed in China with Japanese soldiers all over. Bomber's were very heavy. Maybe a mile was the best they could do to tack off. But they got rid of so much stuff that they could finally fly off the carrier.

This was the crew before the mission.

I think this is the crew after the mission

These men were surely brave to do this mission and most of them were either captured or killed. The captured, I think, were released and went to the Chinese. The Chinese then gave them food and a boat that took them back to America.
