Just a little sticky note fact-check my dog’s blog at Doggie Days. Since I did a post about my CYS violin audition, Milo is doing a post about his audition for the movie me and my friends are making. Since there are two dogs in the neighborhood and there is only one dog in the movie, we needed to audition for who was going to play the role. And the winner was ………….(drumroll, please)…………………………….
MILO! Congrats, Milo! He’ll post about it..like…tommorow or something. Dunno. It’s not the easiest thing in the world to communicate with dogs (if you can do it at all). But my guess is tommorow. That’s basically it!

Yesterday was the violin audition for California Youth Symphony (CYS).  Yike!!!  When we first went to the waiting place, I was REALLY scared.  Most of the people there were WAY older than me.  When I went to the practice room, all I could hear was a bunch of super-advanced pieces.  I felt like I was playing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” in front of Itzhak Perlman.  But actually it was pretty great.  The judge/conductor said she liked me alot,and I guess I have to admit the audition turned out to be splendid.  I played Fifth Air Varie by Charles Dancla and the B flat Major Scale.  Probably, the worst part is the TIME.  I have to wait until May.  Oh well.  Wish me good luck!

Today was ballet. When my mom came to pick me up, I decided to change while she was driving. When we got home, I was still not done putting on my clothes. So my mom locked the car and went into the house, leaving the door open for when I was done changing so I could come in. My mom has this auto-lock on her car “for super-saftey”, she calls it. If the car is left locked with all the doors closed completely for five minutes or more, when somebody tries to open the door, inside or outside, the alarm sounds. I was inside the locked car with all the doors closed completely for about six minutes. I didn’t know about the auto-lock ( my mom just told me ), and I tried to unlock the door. My mom’s car has a part on the handle that goes back and forth. If the red part is showing, it’s unlocked. If the red part isn’t showing, it’s locked. I kept on trying to spin it so it was red, and it kept on switchingback to locked. The whole time, the alarm was blaring and I was thinking, “Help! I’m locked inside a car!” Fortunatuley, mom came to the rescue. Whew. She unlocked the car with keys and I was able to get out. Sometimes, I really hate modernality .

Sorry I didn’t post about it (I had to finish two showcase logs), but yesterday-yesterday-yesterday-yesterday was the field trip to Hidden Villa! All the students were calling the whole valley Hidden Villa, but our group (Gina, Melo, Hal, O#1, Frankie, Laha (she’s a girl), and Mrs. Sakatmous) ’s guide, Robin, told us that Hidden Villa is really just the one building somewhere between the two parts of the farm. The whole place is called Hidden Valley.
Anyway, it was really fun. First, we went to their vegetable garden. we tasted all six parts of a plant ( fruit, flower, leaves, stem, root, seed ). For the root, we picked some carrots. Seeds were oats, the stem was rhubarb, flower=brocoli flower, fruit=apples, and, last but certainly not least……….what was I gonna say? Oh yeah. The leaves were LETTUCE! Yummy yummy in my tummy . we ate all the things. I liked *backspace backspace* cross that out. I LOVED all things except for the rhubarb. Yuck. Robin said it was really sour. But that wasn’t the thing. It wasn’t sour at all! It just tasted REALLY chemical-ey. Then, we took a GREAT ( and I mean great ) hike. Some parts of the mountain were steep, but going down was easy. Most people in the group were slipping and thought it was the hardest part, but I developed a skill that helped you keep your balance called the “military march”. You just swing your arms, lift up your feet and stomp like you’re marching in an army. It really worked and I didn’t have to run a bit to keep my balance. It was natural pace. Around the bottom of mountain, at the end of the hike, there were TONS of banana slugs. Our group counted sixty-one. SIXTY-ONE BANANA SLUGS!!! That’s a lot. When we saw our first banana slug, I got the great advantage of doing something almost everybody in my school usually doesn’t get to do until fifth grade in science camp ( and that’s only if you go ) -kiss a banana slug! Robin officially named me a member of the banana slug club. Oh yeah……oh yeah……I love getting to do things one grade early. After the hike, we went to the farm. Melo and I bent down and some white butterflies hopped onto our fingers. Two, to be excact. One for each of us. After a long time of picking up butterflies and staring, we went to visit the sheep. One particulaurly itchy sheep really appricieated it when I dug my hands into its wool. Then we saw cows, chicks, and goats. Also,we fed chickens out of our hands! I was really scared, but then Laha took one of my seeds and showed me. Then she held me hand flat out to a rooster. I waited for the sharp beak to pierce my skin and……….. hey! It tickled! Thanks Laha, I woud never have had that wonderful experience without you!
Sorry, I hate to end a wonderful experience like this, but Gina got bit by a tick . Ow! That must have hurt. After Robin the hero took it off ( by the head, of course ), there was a big swollen spot with a tiny red dot and Gina’s chest ( where she got bitten by the tick ). 1+1 also got bit on the shoulder, and while everybody else was checking thier bodies fo ticks, O#1 discovered a tick crawling on Melo’s coat hood! Fortunately, it hadn’t bit her yet. So that’s our second hero-thanks, O#1! Then, very sadly, we had to go. It was the best day ever!

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while.  I’ve been pretty busy at home.  Yesterday we had the Cat & the Rat musical play.  The whole fourth grade, the noon group ( a bunch of fifth-graders that get together during lunchtime and eat lunch in the music room ) , and some fifth-graders from the fifth-grade combo performed.  I was one of th Go-Go dancers.  Kat was one of the beach dancers, Angie was a leader, Melo was the STAR aka the cat, and I’m really ( times infinity ) sorry to Shals, but I forget which part she was playing ( I THINK she was just in the chorus/choir ).  Mrs. H thought 1+1 and Erica were equally good as Rat, so 1+1 performed as Rat in the daytime performance, and Erica performed in the nightime performance.  The nightime performance was in the ice cream social, and after ward we cooled out with relaxing ice cream FOR FREE!  It was a great treat.
   While eating our ice cream,   Angie and I went inside the MP room, and Angie recalled a bunch of her favorite songs.  I’m a big scardey-cat, and I didn’t want to play in front of all those people that were helping clean up. or else I guess I would have shared my #1 favorite song too-Ivan Sings by Aram Khachaturian.  It’s slow, but really tricky because you need to play the same notes, but separate them while not lifting your fingers all the way off the keyboard.  Tricky technique.  Then Angie had to go, so I found Kat and we talked for a while.  Then I had to go
so we said good-bye and good-night.  The last thing I’d like to do ( before my mom kicks me off this computer and gets me ready for bed ) is recommend a few websites to you.  I think you should really check out Gaia, Noepets, FurryPaws, clubpenguin, AmericanGirl, and one I DO NOT RECOMMEND which you should NEVER make an account on is Fishland.  It really sucks.  Once I made an account, and got about two junk, completely junk emails each day.  That’s fourteen a week.  And sixty or sixty-two a day.  That is one website I hate.  well, that’s all for now .

Whooops!  Ignore that other post.  While writing the title, I accidentally hit enter.  Anyway, we have a tag game going on.  So these are the rules.
   1.  Post these rules.
   2.  Write eight things about yourself.
   3.  Tag 3 others.
   Pretty simple.  And now here’s eight things about myself.
   1.  I’m in fourth grade.  For my friend, that’s not very obvious ( people comment like she’s in junior high ).
   2.  People know my dog better than they know me.
   3.  I can type up to 60 WPM sometimes when I’m writing an email or posting.
   4.  I’m half & half.  My mom’s chinese, dad’s American.
   5.  This is kinda like a fact about my friend Kat, but she and Angie (and me ) live in California, NOT Hawaii.  Ask her by commenting on her blog (Just Us), and she might post about it.  I dunno.  Maybe.
   6.   I’ve started another quite unsucsessful blog before, and I think that it’s just so dumb I just won’t mention it at all.  If you’re my friend, you can ask me at school, but I’m not posting the name here.
   7.  Me, Angie, and Shals took the GATE test today, and it was pretty easy, to tell the truth.  Except for the fact that I’m so sick of patterns I never want to even look at one again.
   8.  When I grow up I want to be an archetect, mom, piano teacher, violin teacher, artist, musician, teacher,art teacher, composer, writer, writing teacher, and cook.  I’m not sure if I really can handle all those jobs.
   So that’s eight facts.  Now I tag……………….

I know it was yesterday, but happy Easter!  On Saturday me and my friends at home had an easter egg hunt .  We filled plastic easter eggs with little trinkets and candy, then asked our parents to hide the eggs.  I found seven seven seven seven seven seven 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 seven seven seven seven seven seven( in otherwords, seven ) .  The candy inside was yummy and I had lots of fun spinning my top.  Then, on Sunday, it was Easter!  From the Easter Bunny I got a Littlest Pet Shop keychain game where you can have your own handheld pet, a Littlest Pet Shop vacation set, a stuffed goose wearing a fashionable hat decorated with paper flowers, and another easter egg hunt inside my house.  Inside the extremely large eggs, there were some littlest pet shops.  Inside all the rest of the eggs, there was candy, bubbles, lip gloss, and braclets.  My mom’s birthday was also on easter, so we had a double celebration.  After I opened and played with all my wonderful presents, we went to the beach and I loaded myself with sandollars.  There were so many, I couldn’t believe my eyes!  I was tired by the time we got home.  Nothing special happened today, except that our teacher announced that the GATE test is tommorow *shiver* .  I’m scared because Kat told me it’s really hard.  That’s it.
