All is good(:
They all call me a lunatic. Ok, call me a lunatic, if I stand on my own, so be...

Who told you that you’re allowed to rain on my parade?
I need get my mind off of things,
like my mind.
Goals are my aim this summer:
-dancing to my fullest
-eat less and healthier
-strengthen my core with more sit-ups and exercises per day
-fit back into my old clothes and get to a better weight
-get ready for highschool
-practice music
-become more flexible and sculpted
-read over and look at the dancing books and documentaries for better turnout, flexibility, and strength

Holy Shin!
Apparently, my legs are injured or something.
My mom had to call Uncle Rich who’s a doctor. My hip is finally starting to get better, but my shins…. well they are not doing too well.
Let me describe it the way I feel it: It basically feels like my shins are really bendy and will snap at any second.
My mom’s version: “Along your tibia, the muscles…..”

Life Lessons: #1
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that life goes on. Some things may seem so important in the moment, but in reality, it’s just a stepping stone for the bigger picture (aka life ). Learn to forgive and forget, give more than you take (but don’t forget to leave some for yourself!), move on in times of self-doubt, and go with the flow. If you spend your time...
Bad habits: #4
I am extremely easily distracted.
Beautiful →
This video makes me tear up everytime. I love it(:
Bad habits: #3
I talk way too much and speak before I think.
This causes unnecessary problems for everyone.
Bad habits: #2
Guilt issues.

I’ve got those.
Bad.
Bad habits: #1
I skip to the end of EVERYTHING.
Ruins every story and every conversation.
Everytime.
Have you ever...
Have you ever felt like you’re sorry for trying to make things right?
Have you felt like tears and turmoil of others were all yours to blame and all the excuses you made only rested you in shame?
Have you ever wanted to say sorry but knew that apologizing would only lead back to the conversation that got you into trouble in the first place?
I LOVE the MUPPETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just wrote a "mental note"
on my hand. With eyeliner.
Bunco

Competitive side> calm side
So worth it. GREAT fund raiser!
Is it just me
or am I growing again?
or. is. everyone. shrinking.
Interesting day
I did great on my math portion of the standardized testing for the first time in a long while. I stayed wide awake at school. I wasn’t afraid at all about public speaking. Great day rite? :D
Well apparently, I was supposed to redo my math for the highschool entree exam. My family wants honors AP an IB. Stupid math. Just that one test and they said that if I got 2 more right, I’d be...
I tried tricking iTunes.
It didn’t work.
I tried buying a song on my iPod (it said that I still had $1 left!) but my computer said I was broke.
Stupid iTunes. You fail me so.
Oh holy crap.
Math testing. Tomorrow bright and early.
hahahahehehehehohohohooooohno.
i’m screwed.
Finish my sentence?
Roses are red, violets are blue:
party trick?
Make a fist with your left hand, squeeze your left thumb, then put your right index finger down your throat. NO GAG REFLEX.
My dad made...
home-made lemon bars!
so good(: so unhealthy.
….
So Good!
Holy Shi...
…moli.
I have so much more homework than I thought I had.
Gary
worked our butts off! He’s like your own personal Starbucks :D
I loooove his because he doesn’t play boring classical music. He plays jazzy fun music that you can relate to more. It helps you to plié more, stretch to your best lines, jump that extra inch higher. All of the things that help you grow as a dancer. It was less Cecchetti and more free to customize and sort of make your...
Today
We danced our bums off. It was so fun!
4 hours of Miss Murial, an incredible dancer. It was wonderful.
We learned the Cupid Variation from Don Quixote.
For now, i’m going to sleep.
Big day of dancing with Gary (her husband) ahead of me.
Gnite(:
The Apple Store...
told me that they couldn’t fix my iPod Touch.
Thank the Lord for warranties(:
I got a new one for free. Now the only problem is syncing all day…
Workshops

I’m PUMPED for this! :)
Open Class
Grade 7 and up
Pointe Variation
Pas de deux
So we had a sub....
at dance class for modern. I’m used to all that balletic graceful or weird moving lyrical things and modern so I was ready for the usual class.
Oh no. It couldn’t be that easy, that wouldn’t be interesting enough.
So instead of teaching us modern, we did
*wonders of wonders*
Hip Hop.
Well if you don’t understand my predicament, let me break it down for you....
Last Night's Dream
I have forseen the future. No, not really.
Last night I dreamt about getting tattoos. (not ugly all over, but pretty small ones)
Anyhoo, somehow, everybody was talking about tattoos today without me telling them about my dream. Heck 3 people were wearing fake tattoos and tons of people were drawin them on. Crazy right! You call it coincidence, but I like a little fun in my life(:
Nikki OUT...
SOUTH CAROLINA!
That was one of THE most fun weeks ever!
Me and Katie danced all week with Miss Judy and stayed in her massive plantation house in Camden.
We went canoeing and Miss Judy and Mr. Anthony’s canoe tipped over so we got to “rescue” them. It was pretty funny(:
Also, our flight was basically cancelled and we were unaccompanied minors. :P
But Miss Judy stayed with us at a really...
