Self-Evaluation

My writing has gotten twice as good since we started they semester. When we first started I had comma splices like it was my job. It still happens just not as much. I also feel like i know so much more about writing all together. I know the correct way to write. The one thing that i always remember is to never say "i think...".

On High School was my best writing by far. I enjoyed writing it which made it easier and better overall. I also took the most time correcting this paper and turned it back in multiple times. I wanted to make sure that i got everything fixed because i liked that paper so much.

This class ten times better then the English classes i have taken in the past. We have more freedom. There is nothing worse than being told you have to write a paper on something you have no interest in. It makes the paper boring and overall bad. If you get to pick what you want to write about, like in this class, you actually want to write so the paper is actually good.

I went to both Mrs. Dorn and Mr.Kitsmiller for help. It was great having bothin in the class to get different points of view on papers. Also if one was busy there was always the other to assist you.

My life is full of longs days, late nights, unfinished assignments, stress, and it is all because of dance. I have dance almost every day right after school till at least 9 and some nights I teach too. And I have to stay after and clean the studio. Then I have to go home and start my homework. Some night i just can't even keep my eyes open so i end up falling asleep doing homework. Then being up late all the time doing homework I usually end up getting up late. I am sore 99.9 percent of the time. I'm always broke, I get my paycheck and all the money goes to conventions and to competitions. I'm constantly stressed out about dance and remembering the choreography and making sure everything looks good. I am also teaching to i have to come up with my choreography for those classes also. On top of that i have auditions for scholarships coming up so my solo has to be flawless, adding more stress.I also stress about school and getting all of my grades up and assignments in.

The thing is I wouldn't have it any other way. I live for it. This is the life. I can't imagine not being able to dance all day or not dancing everyday. I would hate to never be sore, i would never feel like I'm working hard. I love the night time, its so peaceful and i love being up. Its been said too much, but i can sleep when im dead, i need to work for what I need now. Being stressed out pushes me, otherwise i just wouldn't do anything besides sit around all day in front of the computer. And quite frankly if I wasn't spending my money on dance, something that will benefit me, it would be wasted on stupid useless purchases. I love my way of life and i wouldn't change a thing. This is the life of a dancer.

return from break

Break was amazing. It was so nice not having school or dance for two weeks. I did have to go in twice for my solo but nothing else. I just got to relax, for the most part.

For Christmas eve we have my moms family over and do dinner and a gift exchange. On Christmas day we open our gifts from our parents and go to my grandmas for Christmas with my dads family. It was so nice to see all of my family from out of time that we don't normally get to see. My aunt from Baltimore came in town, my aunt from York came in town, and my uncle and cousins from Cambridge came in town. I also got to hang out with a lot of friends that i don't normally get to see over break.

New Years was okay this year. I was at my friends house until 11:30 then my mom decided it was a good idea to make me come home right then. So i had to go home to a house full of people i didn't really like. People we at my house until 7 am, it was bad. But it ended up okay.

Break as a whole was really good :]

Alice In Mia Land

I agree with Lara, Mr. Carter has more important things to worry about than spending all day trying to find people wearing leggings. If it is that big of a deal, why don't we just have uniforms. It would be ten times easier, and it would get rid of all the legging and yoga pants. I just think it is kind of pointless to spend so much time on it when there are other bigger things the school could be paying more attention to.

cake

This is most likely the most random blog i have ever posted, and the shortest. But, i just want some cake. Funfetti with vanilla icing. Or a cupcake would suffice. It just sounds really good for some reason.  

gifts

Every Christmas my sister and I each get one big gift and then a few other smaller gifts. Last year my big gift was my laptop, the year before it was a new phone. Things like that. This year i have no clue what to ask for, i don't need anything. I have a phone, laptop, and ipod. I don't need anything new. I was going to ask for an ipad but they are just ridiculously priced and i feel like i wouldn't end up using it. I have shoes, but then again you can never have enough shoes. I think i'm just going to ask for more clothes. I'm just really excited for all of my family to come into town for the week before Christmas. I have family all over and we always have such a good time when we are all together!
