So last weekend our chorus went to Myrtle Beach and we won a bunch of awards. It was pretty fun. If I had to pick the 2 best moments, they would be: Andrew asking if anyone was in art, and Ben becoming a merman.
So yeah we finished Great Debates, so now nobody knows what to do with their life anymore. jk lol
LOS showcase is next Monday. I’m totally psyched. We had our in-class acting show this morning. My partner and I failed. Big time. I’ve been very pleased with my evaluation sheets so far (one left to receive – LOS). My dance teacher put Senior Co. on my recommendations for classes next semester and that makes me very happy. 
And of course acting she said I should stay in the class I’m in unless my birthday comes before next semester (which it doesn’t.)
A few days ago my dad had surgery on his elbow and so his whole left arm is in a sling, and since my mom is at a soccer tourney with my sister and one of my brothers, my other brother and I have been helping him with stuff. It’s very weird for me, and I’m glad my mom’s coming home tomorrow night. (not that I don’t like my dad and my brother…)

Wassup, y’all? Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but I’ve been SOOOOOO busy! The final performance of A Thousand Cranes was last night. It was so exciting, yet so sad. Joshua had to wear his hair in a ponytail and Colin’s hair looked like Christopher Robin – it was so adorable lol… Shreyas has been out sick all week, and Katherine missed last night and Friday night because she has SWINE FLU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is horrible!!!!!!!!! 
Their wish is engraved on the base of the statue:
This is our cry.
This is our prayer.
Peace in the world.
…One thousand…
Look, Grandmother! You were right!
In school… we finished Y1K and it was AMAZING! Now in Chorus it seems more like dance because we’re learning all the choreography. I almost have the moves for Locomotion down! We get to wear poodle skirts for the concert! Woot! ^-^ Let’s see… no other fun stuff going on in school so yeah…
Have I talked about choir at all? I don’t think so… Well basically I’m in the “youth choir” at my church. We sing at the 12:15 Masses. Who’s in it? A lot of people from Fiddler… Mike, Catherine, Lizzie, Emily, Jessica G., Jessica K., two other girls who weren’t in Fiddler named Kelly and Meg, and OMG CONOR!!!!!!!! Conor was like one of my 2 BFF’s last year in Children’s Choir so I’m really psyched! But he’s not gonna start showing up for a few weeks cuz he’s in a play. I have no idea what play though lol
Dance is still fun… In Acting, Hannah and I are doing a scene called Above It All. It’s this scene about two girls, Kali (Hannah) and Jenna (me), who are on a Ferris Wheel. Jenna’s terrified of the Ferris Wheel, so at first it’s all about Kali calming her down. Then it goes to this thing about Kali’s parents being divorced and her dad calling even though the lawyers said he’s not allowed to. To be honest it’s really confusing me. In Live On Stage we’re doing “Nine To Five” as the opening and “Don’t Stop Believing” ^-^ as the finale. Our class is doing “She’s In Love” from The Little Mermaid and “Nicest Kids In Town” from Hairspray ^-^.
Rock Band is really fun too Depali (please please please tell me I spelled her name right…) and I are the singers, and Kevin (back from the summer ) is the bass player, and Nick and Mike (different Mike lol) are the guitarists. The teacher is Niko. So far we’re doing “Hotel California” and some other song I forgot the name of.
