No more Swimteam!!!!!

Maybe you remember that "structured exercise program" we were doing called swimteam...well, we've talked our parents into letting us not do it this year! Me and my sis are sooooo happy. We'll have such a better summer. We will still have an exercise program, but it should be more fun because some of it will be with family and there will be a lot more variety. I just hope that I will be able to develop a healthy habit and liking for exercise. It's not that I don't like to do it, it's just that swimteam is like cruel and unusual punishment for us. I'm so happy that I was able to convince mom and dad that swimteam is not in our best interest...even though they think it is!

Pacetti Bay Middle School Talent Show

It was held on Thursday, April 23 (a week from tomorrow) from 6 to 8:30 pm. It was a really great experience, especially for those who participated in the show. There was no judging; it was just a night to see your fellow students and teachers show off their talent. It was number 4 in act one, and I sang "Danny Boy," my favorite Irish tune. There were a lot of great acts, and a couple not-so-great ones. There were 3 dance groups from each grade, the cheerleading squad, 3 singers (including me), 2 piano players, one guitarist, two bands, one concert band trio, one unicyclist, and one comedy act (a funny impersonation of George Bush). There was also a dance group made up solely of teachers (four of which are, or have been, mine), back by popular demand from last year. They call themselves the Aquanets (after a type of popular hairspray back in the 70s), and I think it was everyone's favorite act. Someone taped it and put it on youtube, and I'd love it if you would watch! Here it is: Mrs. McLaughlin, Ms. DeMaio, Mrs. Norris, Ms. Burke :), Mrs. Ryan, and Mrs. Ishee performing their 2008/2009 Aquanets dance Routine! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjhseDVXf0k
