I was supposed to have a holiday week this week, but actually I feel a lot more tired than I used to be after a normal school week :| This is mainly because I had like 2 trainings each day, one for gymnastics and one for dance, either between an hour and a half or two. My schedule in this holiday looked like that: from 10:00 or 10:30 I had dance, and after that I remained from 12:00 to 1:30 or 2:00 for gymnastics, which was quite painful because we were trying to make the free cartwheel (this means the cartwheel without hands, kind of a jump) and I failed and hit the ground with my bottom so many times that my legs were really hurting. However, today I finally managed to do it well, without any assistance, so this is today’s greatest deed. Yay! :biggrin: When I did it the first time today, I didn’t even realised that I’m gonna do it. I just remember I was like flying and then I woke up standing firmly on my legs :D Also today, we helped our teacher to clean the biology lab, which is our classroom as well. It was so much dust in there, that I’m still sniffing now and my eyes are tearing a lot. I’m really surprised that the Mushroom..Ah! Sorry..I meant our teacher :D :blush: finally decided to get rid of some old creepy jar where she kept in a certain liquid ( I don’t how it’s called in English) some dead frogs :nerd: We where so enthusiastic in breaking those jars, so we went to the place where school’s garbage is usually thrown and just let them drop on the ground. What a nice cracking noise! >:) Anyway, we were a little disappointed that the liquid inside didn’t have anything special, it just smelt like ordinary medical alcohol 8-| We were too disgusted to look closer at the poor dead frogs, so we left.
We learned so many new step combination for dance, and so many and amazing figures that I’m so looking forward to training a lot and going to Barcelona in May. Unfortunately there’s nothing sure yet :( The prize rises up to about 500 euros(this includes 220 euros for the plane ticket, 140 euros accommodation for 4 days, about 100 euros for food and I don’t know exactly how much for the taxes the federation requires). Some parents already said that it’s way too much, and they won’t let their children go. Personally, I don’t think it’s that much, because it’s a big distance between Romania and Barcelona. The fact that annoys me the most is that my dance partner’s grandma phoned on Tuesday evening saying that she won’t let her grandchild go to Barcelona because she sees no good reason in this trip :mad: I thought the whole night of different plans, finding another partner (and Ramona came up with a really really great idea..ahh… :blush: ) Although, the boy is still coming to trainings, which I really do not understand :| If you say that is too expensive, than why aren’t you telling me straight you’re not coming anymore?! If he had told me he isn’t coming, I would have asked another boy if he could come and I would have started my apologizing speeches :)) I really don’t know what should I do. I reckon I just have to wait until Tuesday, when the coach scheduled a meeting with the parents 8-| In case all the other parents let their children go to Barcelona, except for my partner’s parents, I think it’s anyway kinda late, cause the plane tickets’ prize is growing and growing day by day, and it may take a while until I convince the other boy to come X( I dunno…it’s such a tough situation :(( Hope everything will be fine in the end!

You might have said that I did a lot of updates in this one week holiday, but I did nothing :| Except for leaving and returning some comments, I couldn’t get myself to do anything. It’s mainly because my eyes started hurting a lot when I’m staying too much in front of the computer, so I tried to spend as less time as I could on the computer, cause I really don’t want to damage them even more :| Ah! I almost forgot to tell you something pretty funny..well it’s pretty funny for the other, but for me it’s quite annoying and means an even busier schedule. This week, as I was at school everyday for gymnastics (like it hasn’t been holiday at all! X( ) I always met the geography teacher. For a while she was asking me and my friend Ramona whether we want to go to a geography contest. Of course we refused her saying that we don’t have time to study, that we’ll think about it and so on. This week she was suddenly rising from nowhere at every step we took through the school asking us whether we want to go to that stupid contest. Do you know those stupid cartoon characters that always rise from nowhere and appear in the scenery with those super annoying faces? She’s exactly like those X( Whether we were entering the school, going to the bath or changing or clothes, she appeared and asked the same old stupid question about the contest!!! I said that I’ll go to that geography contest just to get rid of this LEECH! :mad: Today really was a great day cause away from that done free cartwheel, there was no Ghermanschi(that’s her name) in the school! Yay :!:

Cosplay party

Yesterday we had a Cosplay party at school. If you don’t know what Cosplay means, it stands for Costume play. This means that we had to costume as cartoon characters. Ramona, Rebecca and I were the PowerPuff Girls! Yay! :biggrin: I was Blossom b-) , Ramona was Buttercup, and Rebecca was Bubbles. Rebecca’s mother made us the PPG dresses, and they turned out really great, though they were slightly tight :D . We also had the Scooby Doo gang at our party, as Ana was Scooby, Radu-Fred, Cele-Shagy, Giulia-Daphne and Bianca-Welma. The others dressed as anime characters (yeah, the anime and manga mania is thriving in our class. I’m not a fan though. I’ve never watched any kind of animes, even the super popular Naruto 8-| ). So, as I haven’t watched any animes, I can’t tell you the names of the other characters my classmates were dressed as. Actually I know a couple of names, but I’m afraid I’ll spell them extremely wrong, so maybe you’ll recognize them on your own :D Also, in the last month we played a game in the class. It’s kind of the ‘Secret Santa’, only we didn’t played it approaching Christmas. So every kid randomly draw another’s kin in the class name, and he has to give that kid gifts for a while, until the game ends. Each one had his own envelope(yeah…we don’t use that kind of Christmas socks ..or whatever they are called :D )where he/she could receive gifts from the mate that draw his name. The purpose of the game is that you shouldn’t know who gives you the gifts, and you have to guess. Unfortunately, my class mates are very excited to say “Oh, I know that X gives you gifts!”. So yeah, I knew who gave me from the first days. Anyway…Yesterday we also had to make a description of the mate that gave us the gifts, or if we haven’t know yet, we had to guess. And we also had to give a bigger present for that one we gave gifts. I received a very nice fluffy toy from my ‘gifter’. We played kind of a game. Oana chose a song that described best each classmate, and the other had to guess who the song was for. As she knows I hate Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana, she chose for me the “Best of both worlds” song from Hannah Montana..arghh :mad: . Anyway, he had a great time overall, and we really enjoyed it as one of the last parties together, as this is the last year together as a class :) .

Today I had again a hectic day. I woke up early in the morning to finish that stupid stupid stupid school’s magazine. Then I went to maths suplimentary work cause yeah…I qualified for the next stage of that maths contest I was telling you about in my last blog 8-| Yeah…unfortunately I did 8-| . The teacher kept me more than planned before, so I was late for the gymnastics training. After and hour and a half of training and failed danilovas (that’s the cart wheel without hands :D ) I went with Ramona to French teacher’s house to handle her the memory stick with the magazine and make some retouches. Yeah, now I’m going to teachers’ homes!! :nerd: . Then I finally came home, really really tired. I was on a big rush today :|

Also, I have a new hostee. This is Monet at www.blaringlove.summerhugs.net! Her site is under construction now though.
So here are the photos from our Cosplay party. Hope you enjoy! ^^ (As I told you, I’m dressed as Blossom, with the red dress and the red bow :) )

So where will we go?

On Sunday, while we were training for dance, our coach told us something that made us quite upset. It is possible that The IFMD World Championship held in Greece will be in the same period with our final exams :| 7 members of our dance small group of 8 have those exams on 5th, 11st, and 21st of May, so going to Greece it’s almost impossible. Our coach will go there only with the high school dancers and the little ones from 1-4 grades. Anyway, our mood improved on Monday when we talked again to our coach and she said that we may go to the IDF World Championship that will be held in Barcelona, Spain from 28th to 31st May, which is a more favorable period for us. So finally, we still have a chance :biggrin: . Going to Barcelona means traveling by plane, just 8 or 9 and our coach, and I can already see a lot of fun! :) I just hope for the best!
I had to be quick cause now I have to go training for gymnastics. Yay for danilovas and backflips! ^^
