Spring Break- Friday

          Today I woke up at 9 again to get ready and I went to get Starbucks for my friends and I. I had to order seven drinks and this man had to help me open the car door for me. Since it was raining, we didn't have practice at Carolyn Clark. Instead, we just went to Nikki's house and people brought their instruments and we all just hung out and had a jam session. Then people started going to the pool, even though it was raining and it was cold. My friends and I didn't bring our bathing suits, but swimming looked fun so my mom picked us up to get our bathing suits.
 
          When we got back, most of the people were in the jacuzzi and so we joined them. We played a game with the noodles causing our jaws to be sore. Nikki's mom bought ten boxes of pizzas and we ate them all in like thirty minutes. We were all so hungry. Then people decided to stop swimming and only seven of us were left in the jacuzzi. Then we decided to go in the big pool and it was so cold, but then it became really warm after a while. We just hung out and tried to see who could stay underwater the longest. Then we decided to go back inside since we were starting to become wrinkly. Then we went to change and Shawn was in the bathroom pooping so we told him to stay in there until we were done changing since he didn't get out when we first came in. He didn't come out because the the toilet wouldn't flush. Then we sat with the other people and Ethan was leaving to get Tpumps and we asked him to get us drinks since he was taking Shawn with him. Then we watched Resident Evil until Ethan called to come get the drinks. We had to walk to his house since his sister took him to get Tpumps. When we got there, we peed and just hung out in his room. Then he had to leave to practice so we walked back to Nikki's then Darla gave me a ride home.

Spring Break-Thursday

          Today, I woke up at 9 again and Vincent went to shower then I did. Vincent and I had to share a twin mattress since Yvetter fell asleep on the full one. We waited for Yvette's dad to come home and he took us to McDonalds then we went to practice. We didn't really do much again at practice, we just cleaned up more dances and that's pretty much it.

          After practice, we went to Yvette's house again to chill before we went to Jazen Tea since we had a fundraiser there. We ate Pho and drank Jazen Tea. We were supposed to go to the drive inns because it was free, but we didn't have enough space and cars so we ended up going to Yvette's house. Celyne, Samantha, and I ended up getting 20 macaroons to try from this asian bakery near Jazen Tea and we wanted to try all the flavors. When we were at Yvette's house, we were just talking and chilling and something scary happened. To lighten up the mood, Celyne, Samantha, and I decided to try the macaroons and we just took a bite of every one and the durian one smelled and tasted so bad. I was full after biting each one, so Samantha and Celyne just split them to take home. People left and then it was just Celyne and I left. We watched Frozen and ate Hot Pot and then I sat on the massage chair. My mom picked us up at 12 and we dropped off Celyne at home.

Spring Break- Wednesday

          Today I woke up at 9 again to get ready then I went to Quickly's and got my friends and I drinks. I was one of the first ones again and my friend drank like half of my drink. Then we just sat in a circle and did the question of the day. Then we cleaned up the dances some more. We didn't really do much, we do the same thing every day.

          After practice, my mom got my friends and I Starbucks and the tribes people went to Yvette's house for a movie night. At first, we all just hung out and ate spaghetti and ribs. Then we went to the living and got cozy and watched The Conjuring and it was really scary and everyone kept scaring me. Then we went in the living room and played Cards Against Humanity. Vi, Darla, and I were a team and we were winning, then we decided to split up. While we were playing, the other people were in the other room watching Wreck It Ralph. Yvette also has this massage chair and it felt so good. Everyone was fighting over it because it was the only working one. The other one wasn't working as well as the other one. Then we watched The Grudge which was the Japanese version and Insidious. Austin, Janae, and Harrison kept scaring me though and it was so scary. Yvette also has like three bathrooms right across from each other and they were all so creepy. One of them had like three mirrors and a little cellar thing, the other one had some wood thing and it connected to another room, and the other one also connected to another room and they were just scary. I had to ask my friend to go inside with me because it was so scary. Then Celyne, Vincent, and I slept over and we skyped with Cat. Vincent and I tried to do an all nighter, but we ended up sleeping at 6 in the morning.

Spring Break- Tuesday

          Today I woke up at 9 again and showered. Then, I got ready and ate breakfast. Then, I went to Jamba Juice and got drinks for my friends and I. When I got to practice, there weren't that many people either. A lot of people were late and we sat in a circle and did the question of the day which was "what is the most weirdest thing you've eaten?" Mine is frog or isaw which is cow intestine. We were all talking a lot and didn't respect the one mic rule, so we had to run one lap around the blacktop. We also had to do ten pushups because some people weren't wearing the appropriate shoes to practice in. They were wearing combat boots and Toms and you can't really dance comfortably in them.
   
          We just cleaned more dances then we went to Cat's house because she was throwing a pool party. My mom got my friends and I Jazen Tea because we were thirsty and I didn't plan on swimming because of girl problems, but it looked so fun. So I asked Andy to drive me home so I can get my swimming stuff and I swam with my friends. The pool was really cold though, since the heater was broken. Then we ate ice cream, chips, and barbeque. Cat also has a bird that can talk and we just talked to it for a while. Then at around five, we went to FYC and we were an hour early so Vincent, Austin, Harrison, and I went to McDonalds and none of them had money so I bought them food. Then we just danced while we waited for people to come. It was mostly Evergreen people there and we just played icebreakers and then we did a workshop about bullying. Then Mary dropped me off at home.

Spring Break- Monday

          Today I woke up at 9 and I was so tired because I have been sleep deprived from school. I took a shower and got ready so I could go to Tribes practice. I brought my friend spaghetti because he texted me saying he was hungry. When I got there, I was one of the first ones and we all just waited for the other people. When everyone got there, we sat in a circle and had our question of the day. Then we had a warm up which was just stretching. We cleaned up some of the dances and then we had a break for 20 minutes. My friends and I took one of my friends' phone and hid it from him. Then he found it in my bag so we took it back and gave it to someone to hide. Then we did some dancing exercises to help us with dancing, then practice ended. Then we gave the phone back to my friend and my aunt picked me up and took me home.
         
          When I got home, I was supposed to do homework but I got lazy and I was tired. So I took a nap for an hour and then I went on tinychat with the tribes people. Then we watched some videos and just hung out. I didn't really do much, I pretty much just stayed in bed all day.

Gestures

It is important for actors to have gestures so they can express how they feel or what they're thinking. If actors didn't have any gestures, then it would be really boring and weird with them just talking and not moving. Gestures are a normal thing, everyone does it. We don't really plan gestures because sometimes it just happens. Even non actors do gestures. Gestures are a part of everyone's thought and actions.

The Year We Disappeared

Today in English class, I was able to read a book that I've been wanting to read, but never had the time to. It's called The Year We Disappeared. It's a book where it's from two people's perspectives, the daughter, Cylin Busby, and the dad, John Busby. John is a cop on Cape Cod, in Falmouth, Massachusetts. August 31, 1979 is a night that their family will always remember. That night, John got shot in the face by an unknown person. His tongue was cut in half and his jaw was falling off and he lost a lot of blood. He was on the way to work that evening when a suspicious car drove by and shot at him and so he went the other direction to the nearest house and they helped him and called 911. He thought he was gonna die and he wanted to tell them what happened and he couldn't speak so he had to write it out on a piece of paper. Their family was supposed to go see The Muppet Movie that night, but he was too tired and so they canceled it. Cylin and her brothers were so upset because they were really looking forward to it. That's all that I read so far.
