Presentation Post . . .

Hello and welcome to my blog. It has a lot of strange posts, including poems, stories, stuff about my life, random advice columns,  a ton of stuff about dance, things that bug me, a ton of pictures, etc. One of my favorites is where I took tidbits of the blog I had when I was six. I also talked about my struggle of keeping a blog. To be honest the struggle was real.
Anyway, go to that link and have a nice day.
Goodbye

Timeline

I decided to do a timeline of myself and how I've grown since I was like 6 months old. I took both of my scrapbooks and took pictures of the pictures in them. It was a lot of fun!!

Dance dance dance

It was a very long, dance-y weekend. On Friday was my dance performance. It was wonderful-ish. I invited six friends, but only four could come.
      I started getting ready at about 4 p.m. I got to Maple Mountain High School at five so Erin and I  could practice our duet. Blah blah, I know you all have read enough dance posts, so I'll make it quick. Erin and I went ninth. We did super good!! The one problem we had was that Erin was a litle  early at the beginning and I literally forgot what I was doing the last few counts.  Then, my team performed our lyrical. We did it cold turkey and we were first after the preshow, so we did okay. Then we had about an hour before we had to perform again because we were last. Two people from my team were partnered up and sent to help the younger classes. Erin and I got California Girls, which is my sisters crazy class. Let's just say they were energetic and really good at straying from where they were supposed to be. ↭ Then my team performed our jazz routine. Eh. We then all watched a slideshow of all of the pictures from the dance year. It was really sad because I knew I would never have the same team again and they are like my family.
        After that, me and my friends went on the stage while everyone was leaving, and the day ended on a happy note: I did five aerials in a row : )  it was a great day.

Herriman Dance Conpetition part II

After I danced, me, Olivia(nine year old sis), and my mom went to Zupas. I got a yummy sandwich and a salad. (Pictures below) Then we went to Gordman's, Ross, Famous Footwear, and Justice. We didn't get anything. After that, I begged my mom to take us to the Sweet Tooth Fairy. All mothers who went got a free cupcake because it was the day before mother's day. I got a deeeeeelicious dulce de leche cupcake. Then we went to awards and then drove home. We got back at almost midnight. It was a great day!

Herriman UT, Releve dance competition

My final dance competition was on Saturday.  It was in Herriman, about 45 minutes away from Spanish Fork. My sister had to be there at eight a.m. I had had drill practice at 5:30 a.m. the day before, so I did not leave at seven with my sister because I needed sleep. At 1:30, my friend Erin and her mom took me to Herriman. We were stuck in traffic for about half an hour. When we got there, there was only five of us in our dressing room. Nine people were missing. A few minutes later, everyone had arrived, but...apparently one of the girls had food poisoning and was puking every ten minutes. It was just great. She couldn't compete in our first dance, so our team had to change quite a few things in the dance, making it very stressful. We performed though, and without too many random mistakes. We did not do as well as our last competition though.
      In our second dance, Keep Us Safe, the sick girl decided that she was well enough to perform. We sort of stank up that dance, but we got first place anyway. In our first dance we got fifth overall in our division, which is pretty good.

Clash of Clans Talk in Math

I'm in a math class where the majority of the students are boys. They only talk about one thing the whole class period. It's name is.....Clash of Clans. Practically all boys have that game. Here are some of the things I hear in math, not in order of conversation:]
"Ryker, what's your leader's name? Jason?! You're such a liar."
"My cousin has the eighth best clan!"
"Your wizards can't be above level six!! The maximum amount is level six! I doubt you even have a Clash."
"What should I change my name to? We only have one chance!!"
"Wait, Anika, YOU have a Clash of Clans?!" (The answer, sadly, is yes.)
"My gold and elixir collectors are level 9!"

This might have been the most strange post ever. I guess I'm just proving that the human does have a pretty good brain:)

PAYSON TEMPLE:)

       I'm going to the Payson Temple open house on Thursday, and I'm so excited! I haven't been to a temple open house since the Draper Temple was built. Everyone says it is so beautiful, and I can't wait!!
        Here are some fun facts about the temple.

• The Payson Temple will be the 15th temple in Utah! 
• The temple took five years to build/furnish.
• The building has five levels
• It will be the third temple in Utah County
• It's gorgeous!! That's not even an opinion!!!

I'll post pictures of the temple after I go on Thursday. I'm so very excited to see it!
