My Time on the Roof (of my house)

Oh. My. God.  I was just on the roof to retrieve a tennis ball that was wedged into a crevice.  It was awesome!!! My dad got out a really long ladder and lifted me up onto the roof.  If you hadn't noticed, the roof is EXTREMELY dirty.  And slanted.  I had to crouch as I walked to keep myself from losing my balance.  The ball was REALLY stuck.  A piece of stucco chipped off as I freed the ball.  I tossed it to my dad, who was waiting on the ladder.  Then, I crawled back down to the top of the ladder.  My dad helped me plant my feet on the step closest to me.  I gently lowered myself down and we climbed down the ladder.  It was an experience I'll never forget!!!

I'm Probably Going To Lawson!!!

Yay!!! I tried out for the Lawson lottery and when all 58 students were placed, I was second!!!  It's kinda confusing but you see, there were 58 students who put their name in the lottery.  Yesterday, the CUSD people drawed the names out and put them in order.  I was number 2!  If you have a sibling who goes to Lawson, you get an advantage.  They put you in front.  I'm probably going to be number 7 or something when they move everyone who has a sibling in Lawson up.  But my dad said that there are about more than 10 spots open... that's why I'm probably getting in.  So... YAY ME!!!

Piano

Ughh!!!  There is this song I really want to play on the piano (A River Flows in You by Yiruma) but one problem: I don't know how to  actually read piano music!!!  I tried learning before but then I got bored so I quit.  OK... possible solutions: 1) learn to play piano again. why that won't work: my parents probably won't pay for it again. Plus, it's going to take a long time for me to get good enough to play that song. 2) ask my best friends who play piano to teach me that one song. why that won't work: it's a very long song... I can't memorize it. 3) try to teach myself. why that won't work: I don't know what all the signs mean and I can't read the music.  Bottom line: I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO!!!

Fire Alarm!!!!

The fire alarm in the Squaw Creek Resort just went off!!!!  I was totally freaking out!!! And I was really scared!!!  We had to climb down a lot of stairs and go to the hotel lobby.  The guest rooms are separated from the lobby so we had to go outside.  I forgot to put on pants... but I was still wearing my leg warmers.  Those are like tights.  I was freezing!!!  Luckily it was just a sprinkler that broke and went off on the 8th floor.  So I could go back to my room.  I have got to go... and calm down.

Twin Day!!!!!

This Friday there is a spirit day at my school called twin day!  My best friends and I are going to be triplets.  We are going to wear the same color clothes.  The style is similar.  Its going to be so cool!!! Well... that's all.

LAWSON!!!!

I'm in 5th grade and next year I'll be separated from my friends.  I have to go to Kennedy Middle School and they are going to Lawson.  You see, I really want to go to Lawson.   So I'm trying out for the lottery.  I hope I get in.  Well...G2G
