Disney land Part 1

     This last friday I had the oppourtunity to go to disneyland with my orchestra class and my mom. On Friday morning we all boarded the busses and headed off to california. We arrived at our hotel at about 5:30 and were given 20 min. to get ready for CATS. How was cats you may ask? well, it was very boring and confusing and thhe only thing that I understood was that it was about cats.
     The next day was when all the fun began. We started off the day by heading to disney land and going to a clinic. For the clinic we got to go into an actual disney recording studio and be recorded playing various pieces featured in different movies. After recording we then got to watch the movie and hear our selves paying in stead of the professional orchestra. It was very cool and my only complaint is that I whish that it had been a little longer.

I Never Saw Another Butterfly

Ok now I know that this title sounds really depressing but I am really REALLY excited to be in a school play about the Holocaust.

I'm sure you may be asking your selves why i'm so excited to be in a Holocaust play, and no it is not just cause I like history. I am excited to be in it because this is my first play that i'm in. A little while ago I auditioned for the play just hoping to get the experience of trying out and seeing what it was like, and as it turns out I made it!!! Now just in case your wondering I didn't get a major role but I got a pretty good sized part, I'm Child II. Well actually I was casted as Child I but when I got home that night and my mom and I were reading my lines we noticed that some of them sounded a little girly. Then we saw it, a line that would have had people making fun of me for years. Well I guess I can't put it off any longer, here it is.

Child I: May I call you grandfather, because you have no little girl and I have no grandpa?"

Little girl?! (insert scary screeching noises here) I'm not a little girl! Thankfully I was able to trade parts with a girl who had gotten a guy part and now I am happily Child II.

I can't wait to see what the real rehearsals are like. This is going to be an amazing play season.

Come see the school play! February 26th and 27th! See you there. :)

Utah 2011

     This summer my family and I went to visit our family ad friends up in utah. We stayed at my grandparents house and used that has our home base for all of our activities. We did all sorts of fun things, we played with the neighbors down the street, we went sledding, hung out with family, and some days just relaxed.
     The neighbors down the street are named hannah and derek. They have been our families good friends for years. with them we did so many things, we had frisbee throwing contests, climbed trees, had nerf wars,
and made a whole bunch of silly videos. here is one of the videos that we made.

     Hope you enjoyed the video please comment if you did:)

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 .
