Spring!!!

Is it just me, or is there someone else that thinks it's too hot for April? I mean really!! I shouldn't be wearing a tank and shorts until Memorial Day. Well a couple exciting things have happened as of late. The first is that I got the Spirit Award at school for winter quarter, which means I had 95-100% of attendance and a 4.0 GPA. I was so stoked when the student services director called my name for the award. :D And I think, still not 100% sure yet, that I'll be dancing in North Park on May 15th for their annual street fair. Very excited about that! First rehearsal is this Saturday for 1.5 hours in which we have to learn the whole dance in one rehearsal. Hopefully it wouldn't be to mind boggling and I can get it in one sitting. Oh I have to share this with you. In dance class on Wednesday we were doing sautes, a jump from 2 legs and landing on 2 legs, in first position, heels together and toes pointing out to the sides, all the way across the floor. Leah, a friend I've made there at San Diego Ballet and I went first and then the rest of the girls followed. Our teacher Javier stopped us before we could go across the floor again and walked out into the middle of the floor and stood with his hands on his hips looking at us and said in a very drawn out manner. "We are not doing this exercise in honor of Easter. You all look like you're imitating the Easter Bunny that visited your house on Sunday." All us dancers were cracking up laughing, it was very comical. And then he began to jump up and down and with each jump up he pushed his chest out and caving in his shoulders when he landed. We got the picture of what he didn't want us to do, but hey at least we all got a good laugh!!!

Home Sweet Home!!!!

This is amazing, I actually get a day at home with nowhere to go until 5:00 tonight. So exciting!!!!! How my schedule is this quarter I don't have school on Friday, but I do on Saturday. : / It's not as bad as I thought but still. Looking out at our backyard everything is getting green from the rain, and the lawn is getting longer and longer and longer... Well, gotta go do some stuff around the house, see ya later!!! :)

OMGOSH, am I happy finals week is over!!!! Now I get to start a new quarter! Tomorrow is my first day/class of quarter 2 and I get to have my teacher from Anatomy & Physiology teach my Pathology class, yay!!!!! I don't know my final grade for most of my classes yet but I do know that in my Massage Essentials class I passed my practical, a test on the massage itself, with a 97% and the whole class with a 93%. I was and am ecstatic!! Hopefully I'll get my other results soon. Oh and my teacher the massage class said that she would love to have my apply to be a TA for her in an upcoming quarter :) So this quarter it seems that I have 3 lecture classes and 1 hands on class. I also have lab on Saturday. No I'm not dissecting my client but I am giving 1 public massage every Saturday and then some lecture time after that. So this quarter should be fun, I hope.

Annie get your gun!!!!!!!

I was able to practice my shooting this past Sunday, so exciting!!!!!!! We have a very large dirt hill in front of our garage and Daddy and I will shoot into that, through cans and plastic bottles of course. I shot our .22 and Daddy's Colt single action revolver .22 mag. This was my first time shooting the revolver and it took me by surprise by how loud it was, with no warning as to what it was going to do my ears were ringing for a couple of minutes after that shot. But all in all it was a fun day of blowing up cans and plastic bottles!!! Here are some victory trophies!!

My trophies!!! The plastic bottles didn't look as impressive so no pics of them.

This one is by far my favorites!!! I actually shot through the top rim and
pulled the flap on the inside off to a weird angle. 

The 2 Dr. Pepper cans and this Coke can are those really
small ones and the Pepsi cans are normal size.

(left to right) .22 mag, powderless .22, .22 long rifle and .22 short.
These are all empty, spent, shells.

Real?

If any of you have watched the Truth Chronicles you'll know who and what I'm talking about. I don't know if that's exactly how it's worded but that's pretty close. I was coming home from dance tonight and this song came on the radio. I had listened to it a couple times before but I really stopped and listened this time. It's amazing how many things in it are so true right now from our family and for a lot of families out there. It's kinda funny but it sheds some light on things that I didn't think about very much. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!!         www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_Q75Qnrvzk

Rain is a good Thang!!!!!!

Rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey
Whiskey makes my baby, feel a little frisky
Back road are boggin' up, my buddy pile up in my truck
We hunt our honeys down, we take 'em into town
Start washin' all our worries down the drain
Rain is a good thang!!


If anybody out there's a country fan, you'll know which song I'm singing there but I thought it was appropriate for the weather as of late. I don't know about you but I LOVE the rain!!!!!! Our view of Palomar Mountain after the rain is always breath taking. The only way it could get better is if by chance the rain could wash away the casino and hotel so we didn't have to look at it. Hey, I can wish can't I?! Here are some pics of our place after the loverly rain!

Our blooming pear tree

Blooming peach tree

No that isn't a fox in the background, that's my cat Jenny Any Dots.
She's named after a cat in Cats the musical.

MY blooming plum tree. Last year the birds got most of the fruit,
they're out getting away with that this year.

Gonna ROCK it!!!!!!

YAY!!!!! I got into The Rock School in Philadelphia for a summer intensive!!! Yippee!! Pennsylvania here I come...in 5 months though. When I started my auditions Mommy noticed a pattern of location on the ones I chose to try out for. It was either going to be Pittsburgh or Philadelphia. When I told her I got into The Rock she looked at me and said, "You do realize that Philadelphia is all the way across the country don't you?" I said yep. She said, "That's why you want to go there isn't it?" I replied yep. So for 6 weeks I'll be living in the city of love!! Some of our weekend outings will be a trip to New York City, so pumped about that, and to New Jersey beaches. So the way I see it, I have about 5 months to work my butt off to be the best I can be for this intensive. Yee!!!!!! Sorry, I'm just so excited I can't contain it!!
