A week as an alto

Last week my choir director thought it might be fun to shake things up a bit and move me and a few other people around. One minute I was a soprano, singing the highest notes in the class (thank you very much) and the next i was moved to the lowest and weakest section in the choir- the altos. I was completely devastated. I was scared for both myself and the sopranos, because being the loudest in my section, they would need to step it up without me. not trying to brag or anything. but with the support of my friends i made it through the week, strengthening the altos as i accepted the challenge. On Friday though, she moved me back to the sopranos where the help was truly needed. I am back to being a soprano one, where my voice belongs.

BTW isn't this weather amazing?

School

Hola bloggers!

Its been a long time, so this is just an update.

Camp was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't even begin to tell you how amazing it was!

Life Changing!

School started 2 weeks ago and i love my classes. I have all pre ap classes including algebra. Oi. That class is not much fun, but i love it anyways. My favorite core class is Us history though. US history is so much fun plus the teacher is hilarious. We watch funny videos in the middle of our notes and we learn a ton.

Now my favorite class is choir. that class is amazing and i have it at the end of the day so we have something to look forward too. Karate is definitely whipping me back into shape. but its fun.

I have a lot of classes with my best friends so its great.

8th grade is definitely going to be a great year!

2 days!

2 days full of waiting. 2 days full of packing. 2 days left of boredom. 2 days until camp!

Its a bitter sweet feeling- Knowing that i'm going to have the best week of my year and knowing that i will be away from my beloved friends. I will miss them dearly.

This is why i am sad. But i am also nervous. Nervous for acceptance, nervous for the weather. Nervous that i will forget to pack something insanely important. Nervous for my brother who will be attending the towers just across the road from me.

I ask that you guys will keep us in your prayers as we head off to camp this sunday.

I will miss you guys!

friendships and journeys

Over the years i have aquired a multitude of friends- many who i could not live with out. The hardest part of friendships is leaving them. Even if one of my friends leaves only for a short time i can get anxious and mildly depressed. Time seems to drag slowly on and i can't wait to see them again.

So i embark on a journey.

The journey always begins with package. Which means luggage. Which means a trunk. This year i got a green trunk. It was a little plain so i got paint. I am not the most artistic person in the world so i got stencils which did not help at all. painting wasn't the best idea i've ever had. I think i'll stick with stickers. ;)

Camp is still a few weeks away but i can't wait to start packing. thats the best part of pre-camp.

Hopefully my journeys will pass the time more quickly. If not, god help me!

so a while ago i posted a video of nigahiga called how to be ninga. Here is another video by them - How to be gangsta!

New Beginnings

Many times i get a tune in my head, though i have no clue what the name of the song is. The same with words that seem to flow together like they were meant to be a poem. This is the birth of a song. I write these words down and try my best to find a fitting tune out of my mind. I look for more words to compliment the original lyrics, but usually nothing turns up.I will stay awake for hours trying to find something, when eventually i will fall asleep. these thoughts and words will be lost in the endless space of my mind or forever doomed to my notebook where they don't get the chance to be heard. I start again. Another song. A new beginning.

I honestly have no idea why i wrote that. I had nothing to write about, so i decides to write about that. Ok see ya!!!!

Achmed the Dead Terrorist

This happens to be the best puppet people ever!!!!!! Get ready to laugh your head off!!!!!

Transformers 2- may contain spoilers

Last night I went to the midnight showing of Transformers 2. Honestly, I was disappointing . I mean it had great effects, but It seemed to have more language, more sexual content, it left loose ends untied, it introduced too many characters, and they crammed it all in a 2 and a half hour movie. We were glad my little brother didn't understand half the sc mentioned. My family and I found the college girl decepticon disturbing and unneeded. I loved all of the new characters, but I wish the corvette talked. The dogs were unneeded, and the brain probing was disgusting. Over all I was disappointed, but at the same time, I enjoyed it. I want to get it when it comes out on Blu-Ray, because there was too much to take in on the big screen. I'd love to hear your thoughts if any of y'all go see it. Blog later!

Baby Eliot *WARNING- ONLY WATCH IF YOU WANT TO CRY*

My mom and I were watching Oprah who was doing an episode with Celine Dion and the were talking about miracle children. I saw this video about baby eliot and my mom and i started bawling our eyes out. I think this video is great inspiration and it really shows how you don't know what will happen and you should always celebrate every second you have.

The parents of Eliot made this video in remembrance of Baby Elliot's life. It's called 99 balloons.

I'm so glad i don't have 2 left feet!

Natasha, I seriously believe that i inherited my moms clumsiness.

That has a little to do with this post, but i just wanted to get that out.

Refering to the title of the post, my left foot has been having the worst luck imaginable. Yesterday at dance i tripped over myself and hurt the outside of my left foot, and the day before that, I manage to get three ant bites on my left foot. They itch insanely. I am dreading pointe tomorrow. So i have a lucky foot and an unlucky foot.

Then last week at dance (this is where my first statement comes in) I was working my axel and I tripped backwards and fell into a filing cabinent which sent a three ring binder on to my arm. unfortunately the rings were open and they stabbed into my arm. Oddly enough, there was no blood involved, but i still had to pull the ring out.

I am extremely graceful, don't you think? XD

Love always-

JG

Eagle Eye

YES!!! I FINALLY saw it!!!! And it was a whole lot better than I thought it would be. The movie over all was AMAZING!!!!! But what can I say? Steven Speilburg was involved.
The movie was about Jerry Shaw (Shia LeBeouf) and Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan), two ordinary people with ordinary jobs.When Jerry's twin brother dies, weird things start happening. first, when he goes to cash a check, he recieves 751,000 dollars. the many, many boxes turn up in his apartment containing explosives and weapons. He recieves a phone call telling him to do crazy things like running from the FBI, ducking, jumping, ect. Then he meets up with Rachel.
Rachel, is a single mother, whose son is in a band playing in D.C. She gets a call threatening to derail the train her son is on if she doesn't do what she's told. Now they're both on the run, being told what to do by the unknown woman on the other end of the line.
This movie is action packed, complete with car chases, guns, explosions, and much much more!!!!! I recommend this movie to anyone to anyone who likes being on the edge of their seat the whole movie.
5 stars for this one!!! I'll cross something off on my list!!

Rockets Game!!! Part 2

Okay, sorry it took a while to get this up. I've had finals all week and haven't been able to do more than check my email.
OMCAEC!!!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
****List of events leading up to Rockets Game****
First I went to a birthday party. We went shopping because we were going to go see twilight, but they cancels the showing of it. We were about to sew the movie theater.

After that, we came home and I got dressed and did my hair.

Then I went to Starbucks because I needed caffeine. I got a venti carmel frappaccino. very yummy.

Once I got to the school, the choir and I warmed up and I got on the bus with my friend Reina and we went to the Toyota center.

We got to the Toyota Center and went into the Atrium to practice. The acoustics in there were awesome. we were echoing. So cool.

We then went into this place sort of like a hallway but it was underneath the stands. We waited like thirty minutes. and I REALLY had to go to the bathroom. It wasn't to smart to drink a very large coffee right before I went. Let me make this clear I drank the coffee at 4:00. I started having to go around 6:00. I couldn't go until after 7:30. Yeah. i was tortured.

We sang to be sound-checked. and then we walked out onto the court!

No words could explain how I felt right then. WOW!!! It was like the whole stadium opened up in front of me. It was huge and loud. We walked onto the court. To my right were the Rockets. To my left were the Knicks. Yao Ming was a GIANT. I mean he was like huge!!! Then again, they all were all that way. When that horn went off, I thought I went deaf. Ms. Hutson gave us our starting pitch and the announcer did his job. The spotlight was on us and we sang.

We rocked the HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

We then went off the court and went to our seats. (And Yes, I ALMOST Tripped. :D) I was just glad to finally go to the bathroom. then I had A potato the size of my brother (He's about 10 inches long right now). Then I relaxed and watched the game. Well, I wouldn't say relaxed. I had to move between My row and Reina's row about every five minutes.

I had a blast though!!!! I can't wait to do it next year!!!!

I'll try to get a picture or a video of us up soon!!!

Rockets game!!!

A few months back, I auditioned to be on the National Anthem crew at school. I made it of course, but I never expected to be singing at a Rockets game!!! We sent in a tape to the Rockets organization and we got in!!! Tonight is the night! We will be on the court of the toyota center in less than 5 hours singing in front of almost 18,000 people with one of my best friends!!! I'm nervous, but excited. We got a special shirt and everything. I have to go primp myself up, so ttyl bloggers!!!!!!
