We're Goin' to Winnipeg! Day 18

Monday, August 23/10

Today we started new exercises in ballet and that felt more complicated this time, (probably because they were) but I was very off balance today. However it was a great class and we had a few viewers. Then we had modern and that was fun as usual. I ate lunch with the Mexican girls again, then we had variations. We had many viewers for that one. That was our last variations class. Then we had jazz and mom came to watch that one. It was a great class and I love Laurie, she is such a great person! We finished the combo we did and it was great! That was also our last jazz class.
Mom and I ate supper and then came back to the hotel. Jared called and said him and dad were getting ready to leave now and they aren't stopping so they should be here in the morning sometime. I'm really excited to see them!
They will be viewing tomorrow.

This morning I woke up and went to church. So far I was feeling refreshed and happy. church was great. Then after mom and I ate a quick bite to eat then went to see Eat Pray Love. Very good movie, I really enjoyed it a lot and loved the quotes in it. After mom and I went back to the hotel to change because it was too hot to wear jeans. Then we walked to a church and walked back and wondered. When we got back to the hotel I went on facebook and stuff and found really good new songs by Fleet Foxes and Band of Horses. Fell asleep for a bit then tried to find V for Vendetta on the internet to watch for free and it took me about a half an hour to find one. Then finally watch like half of it then paused it because I had to plug in the computer, then I had to rewind it so I tried that and it didn't work and it stopped and it would only play from the beginning! Dumb! So I waited for half the movie to play then watched about 20 minutes past where it stopped and it stopped and said cannot play the rest of the movie unless you download now! So much for that.
Pretty lazy day but it was great.

We're Goin' to Winnipeg! Day 16

Saturday, August 21/10

This morning we had ballet with a different ballet teacher and I can barely pronounce her name much less spell it. She is the one we had our placement class with and to tell you the truth I was a little scared to take a class from her because she is very strict and I wasn't the only one. Once class started it wasn't bad, like she was very nice and smiled a lot. I guess she was just like that for placement day. I actually really had fun in her class and I think she is very pretty.
Then after we had modern and for some reason I felt a little out of it today but the class was great. Then mom and I ate A&W for lunch and then headed to a movie, Eat Pray Love. I loved it. My favorite quote from it is, 'Loosing balance for love sometimes is a part of a balanced life.' I suggest that movie for sure.
Then mom and I walked back to the hotel and we went on facebook and stuff, went for supper then went back on facebook. I fell asleep just now and I'm just sitting here.

We're Goin' to Winnipeg! Day 15

Friday, August 20/10

This morning I went to ballet class and I was very tired and sore. My knee was a little bothersome this morning but felt better after I stretched a bit. Ballet was very hard for me today because I was so sore but it was fun as usual. Then we had pointe and I did a little today, but I really couldn't do much just because those classes I was just watching really got to more complicated stuff.
I had lunch with my Mexican friends and then went to conditioning. I felt like sleeping at the beginning of class so I layed there for I while. Then we had Spanish and I liked it more because we did Flamenco.
I hung out with the Mexican girls for an hour and bought some sweats at the boutique there. Then we had dance history class and i was laying down waiting for it to end, then it finally did.
Mom and I went for supper then went on facebook while it thunderstormed here. Kind of a normal day.

We're Goin' to Winnipeg! Day 14

Wednesday, August 19/10

This morning I stretched with the Mexican girls and talked with them. Ballet was great this morning and I was quite sore and tired. Our ballet teacher wore a shirt today that said 'Turn It Out' on it. Then we had modern and that was great too. We did some new stuff yet again and the drummer was playing 3 drums today. I ended up using some very different muscles today which was great! It'd hard to explain but it felt great and I am going to be quite sore in that spot tomorrow.
I had lunch with my Mexican friends which was really great and I love listening to them talk to each other in Spanish. Variations class we did with pointe shoes today and it went really well. better than I thought it would for sure. Then finally we had jazz. I talked to the teacher before class and found that when she was 12 or 13 Ms. Aablers taught her ballet. Neat! Then just randomly she pulled out the huge bag of jewelry and said, "I make jewelry!" And she was showing us the watches and necklaces and stuff, and they were really beautiful. She is a very open person and I really like her. Then she realized she wasted 15 minutes of the class talking yet again. She loves to talk to us. We had a really nice yoga stretch and then worked on our contemporary combination. At the end, Anna Sophia was sitting down because her leg was bothering her and she watched me do the combo and after I said to her, "That's what I've been waiting for. That's exactly way I dance. That is my style." And she said, "You are so good! You impressed me!" Hehe I love the way she says things.
After I went back to the hotel room with mom and ate and got ready to go out shopping with the dancers. I was with a few people I never got the change to talk to before but they are really nice people and felt really included. Then me and another girl just left while the others were in Lululemon. We didn't have enough money to buy anything in there and she was a really nice girl. we had a lot of fun shopping and I bought 3 shirts.
Now I'm back at the hotel.

We're Goin' to Winnipeg! Day 12

Tuesday August 17/10

Today I got to ballet class feeling really good and my muscles felt great and my knee felt great today. Ballet was quite fun and hard to remember the exercises again but we got through it. Modern was a little different today, we learned different moves and did different warm ups. After class I asked what type of modern this is and it's Jose Limon modern. Anna-Sophia (the Mexican girl) was sitting out because her leg was hurting her and I told her she could use my Mercy MSM.
I ate lunch with Emily then went up to variations class. I brought the cream and she used it and then gave me a hug. We did Sleeping Beauty for our variations class.
Then we had jazz and Emily and I raced down there so I could help her before class started. Then that class was really fun once again and we added onto the contemporary combination we had going on Friday.
A walked back up after class with Anna-Sophia and she gave me a hug goodbye.
Mom and I went for supper and then after I went into the pool to swim. Then Fergie walks by and I looked at her and smiled and she smiled back. She went out to the balcony to have a cigarette. Then she walked back out then a guy from the Black Eyed Peas comes walking in. It was really neat.
Anyways now I'm off to bed!

We're Goin' to Winnipeg! Day 11

Monday, August 16/10

This morning everyone was a little slow starting the day off. The ballet teach gave us all new exercises to remember. It was a great start to the day though for the weekend rest felt great and I am now able to move with no problem. I let the girls who used my Mercy MSM on Saturday use it again today, and also they asked me to show them how to tie their pointe shoes nice and neat. I showed them how to do and and they thanked me multiple times. Then one of them said, "You are such a nice person." I watched pointe then had lunch. I ate lunch with Emily and the four Mexicans. It was really nice to hang out with them. I also signed up to watch the professionals rehearse along with my friends. We had conditioning after and then one Mexican girl said she wanted to be my partner, and when we did this thing that involved a plie against the wall and the partner pushing on the inside of your legs, she told me multiple times to tell her if she was hurting me. We worked on turn out all class. Then we had spanish and again it was boring for me.
But after classes mom came by and took me and Emily to Second Cup and we grabbed a little snack. She is a really nice girl. Then we went back to the school and watched the company rehearse and that was really nice to see. I can't believe the muscles those dancers have! I love it!
Mom and I ate supper then I went into the pool again this evening. There was a nice couple there and their children and they were funny and enjoyable. Then we found out the Black Eyed Peas are staying in the hotel! Cool! Mom was really excited about that! Haha!
Anyways I'm off to bed!
