High School

    This year is my first year in high school. So far it has been so amazing at campo. This year i am taking seminary, Honors Lab Biology, Math, Gym, Drama, and Orchestra. So far i cant really say that i have a favorite class because they are just all so awesome.
     This year i have the opportunity to run cross country. so far it has been amazing, all the people are so friendly and the coach is a science teacher (my teacher) so he tells us science facts while were running.
     Some of the clubs that i want to do this year are mostly drama club and improv club. Improv is where you act by doing or saying things of the top of your head.
     I really think that this is going to be a great year and i cant wait to see what treasures it holds.

campo verde

Recently my class went over and toured the high school Campo Verde where we will be attending next year. A lot of thoughts were going through my head as we toured the school. What will my Pack (group of kids the school randomly puts together on the first day) be called? Who will my teachers be? How will i change?

The school was very interesting itself, there were lots of hallways and rooms that looked like they had never been used. Also There was a whole building that smelled like a dentist's office (which if you don't know smells disguisting.) and another that smelled like oranges.

They also had a really awsome program called teacher prep. In this program i can learn how to be a teacher and earn lots of college credits.

I am so excited and ready for highschool if anyone has any tips please leave a comment .

"A little knowledge is dangerous, so is a lot." Bragging rights to who ever can name the show that it was on. Here's a hint it's in the first episode. leave answers in the comments good luck.

Aboda

In strings we have been working really hard for this big competition called aboda. It is normally a High School competition But they let in two Juinior high's this year. We are all really excited about it. We are playing a peice called Variations on a well known sea chanty. It is a very fun and exciting song. we will play it in our up comng concert n the 16th of october i believe. I Just cant wait for aboda.

Family Campout

We just got back from a ward family campout. I thought we were not going because my dad is out of town. But my mom suprised me and brought a friend on it with us th help take care of the kids.

The campout was a nice and short one. We got there around 6:10 and ate dinner around a big ward campfire. After that we set up out tents and got everything organized.

The next morning we ate pancakes, sausage, and eggs. Then we went on hikes, had a air soft war, and talked. I had a lot of fun at the air soft war. I got a big shotgun and was able to hide behind logs and shoot people. i Dominated, Thats right didnt get shot once.

Around 11 we got packed up and left for home. It was avery fun campout and i had lots of fun. Even though it gave my mom lots of stress i think that it was all worth it.

Blog book

A while ago my mom made a blog book for the year 2008. It was very amazing and was The envy of all our friends.

Well now that we have another year of blog material my mom just finished 2009. it is very cool and is so much fun to look through and see all the posts that we did. here is what it looks like.

We are all very excited about t and cant wait for 2010.

P.S. i am sorry about the blurry photos i had to take them with my crappy phone camera. I'll just have to sneak my mom's camera next time.

EVYS

Last year i was in a orchestra called EVYS (east valley youth symphony). well this year i auditioned for it again an made it! Unfortunally i made it in the lowest level which is filled wth kids from the ages of 8-12. I had really wanted to get in the more advanced level but because i didnt practice all summer i Failed.
My mom says i will just have to be a man and live with it until winter comes and i can audition to move up. I really hope i do because i really want to be with all my friends who moved up.
