Week 11

Kinda late on these weeks have no excuse was just lazy. so for this week lots happend, went to one acts provincials in Red Deer, did lots of good acts of kindnesses, meant new people, and mended a relation ship. So Red Deer was amazing and I miss it lots everyone was so nice and I learned new things in my workshops I sighed up for. At the end of it all there was a DJ booth set up and a party and awards and it was (as the cool kids say Lit) there was a dance off circle and I went in and jumped over a 6′4 guy but whats most important in my girl friends ex and me had a talk and became friends once again like before. The days before Red Deer my gf was really sick and I was using my spare (no class for a 80 min block) to walk home and grab her sicky stuff like cough meds and Advil, and before last block I would make her tea and bring it to her. 

Week 12 

nothing cool happend here but ill go over my personal requirements. I wanted a 75 and above and I would do this with at least studying 2 hours a week so I have done that and more i’m for sure about 70% done for my hours (to lazy to calculate) and for my classes I have a 77 in English and 70 in science. as for my other requirement I wanted to learn to cook more I will learn to cook 10 new meals 5 for one to two people and the other 5 for 3 or more and ill achieve this by cooking over 50 meals for my family. so far I have cook 7 meals for my brother. Not going so well :^)

Week 8 and 9

Week 8

I’m on week 8/9/ in 20 min week 10 oops forgot :^) anyway my weapon form is a hard one but I’m getting the hang of it with the help of two other brave souls of learned this stick form. My school grades have never been better I’m at a 71 for science and a 78 for English as for grade 10 year (last year) I finished with 59 for science and 69 for English. This week I was getting ready for one acts festival (an acting competition from schools around the Edmonton place) and I was in a musical one with only 5 lines and no singing. (Flash back to December - I was in a play called almost Maine and this play had 8 two people scenes so everyone had lots of lines) so we took the shorter version of almost Maine so only 6 scenes and it was double casted so let the other person do it for the festival. But they dropped a week before the festival and my scene partner went out and got me a cake and asked me to do it so I some how still know all my lines and was ready.

Week 9

I get to talk about stuff I’m interested in alright I like this blog Wednesday I have to miss kung because I’m on the improv team and we had our last nail unless we made it to finals which we did!!!!! So may 17 I am missing kung fu again but it’s for a good reason. Then Thursday was the almost manie performance and we did amazing we had everyone standing as the were clapping and cheering (this was my first performance at horizon stage aka spruce groves high school and it’s a big step for me). Friday was the musical one called 3=❤️ I think Idk I only have 5 lines so meh. We did good we have some amazing singers that I wish I was as good as. Saturday was the dance and award ceremony where they announce the top two plays that we go to red deer for provincials (28 plays totally competed) I did not dance and I helped a friend going though a panic attack for reasons I will not share. I did not get an award but my girlfriend got an honourable mention for her singing!! At last they called the top 2 plays going to red deer and the first one they said was ALMOST MANIE AND WE WHERE ALL SCREAMING AT THIS POINT!!!!!!!! And I forget the other school sorry. But may 3-5 or 5-7 I’m in red deer competing against schools all over Alberta.

Week 7

Week 7 into hardcore year of kung fu which I’m not doing so well because I don’t think this is the year for me to get my black belt :( So my weapon form is coming along better thanks to a friend of mine whom I’ll call Mr inspiration just like in a past blog.

I for the first time have a topic to talk about so I’m going to be talking about the idea of changing things up. My life seems to be volleyball at start of school year (September till end October) and acting, improv, video games, and kung fu. So why I want to talk about changing stuff up is that I have been playing 1 video game only and kung fu is not my favourite, improv is just making stuff up to tell a story and I have to do the same play we did in December. I have been feeling sad and like a robot and unaccomplished (I’m not proud of myself) everything that I do seems to be naturally to me (EX I never worked up to be able to jump really high, improv I have been doing my whole life it’s just part of my personality). I asked some people for ideas and my friend was throwing suggestions at me and one gave me a little spark of motivation, ”learn an instrument she suggested” and I told her guitar hurts my hand it’s to big and drums hurt my feet and give me cafe cramps (I know this from guitar hero :) HAHA) she the said ukulele and I’m really excited to try she has an extra one and is going to leant it me. This is where people like Mr Inspiration comes in cause when people motivate you or inspire you it’s a really good feeling and I think you should tell who ever your Mr inspiration is “thank you for being you and being awesome”

I’m going to end this blog with an apology to my fellow friends going for there black belt. I’m not trying and I’m not helping you guys at all when I’m lazy and just push you guys away I’m not being very inspirational to you guys and I’m sorry for that.

Week 5 and 6

My advantage continues for a black belt in kung fu as spring break happens I am asked by a friend to learn a lot of lines over spring break and be ready to perform then by the 12th of April and it’s going ok I would say got about 60% of them done and only have 4 days left but it’s all good. The hard part about this performance is that I have to work with a guy that’s 6 foot 2 and hates my guts so I’m hoping to get on good terms and be friends with him but will be hard. I want to thank someone but I don’t got there permission to say there name so I well name them sir anon inspiration that’s because I have be inspired by him lots of times when I was a first degree brown belt. Sir anon inspiration has been helping me with my weapon form where I will be learning a long and hard stick form I am excited to keep working with sir anon inspiration. I’m having some moments where I feel bad for my friends that are really trying to get all there requirements done nice and early and I’m just pushing them away from helping me because I’m lazy :^) But I may change that.

Week 3 and 4

So week three into getting a black belt for kung fu, I was dealing with a break up so I did not write but I still did my studying for school and got 4 hours of that. I stated to learn my weapon form with the help of a friend and an inspiration to me but he does not know that :) one of my personal requirements is to cook food and I certain amount of meals so I had to cook for myself this weekend and took that opportunity. I ended up cooking hash brown patty’s and burgers with bacon in there as well. It’s really greasy but delicious if you not afraid to get messy. Week four I have been catching up on work im behind in and stayed up till 1 on Saturday to get all caught up so I believe that was 3 hours. (Ps I was only going to do 2 hours a week but that’s no fun :-) My classes are at a 74 in English and 75 in science. Other then all that I’m performing in two short plays one where I’m Romeo And need to learn Shakespeare but this is what happens after Romeo and Juliet die it’s funny as heck and the other one is a musical where I play a side character but I’m alright with that. That’s all for week 3 and 4.

Week two

 My quest for a black belt is not going great, for my numbers I am far behind my friends (72 sit ups and 2 push ups). But one of my personal requirements is to study two hours every week so my grades go up to 75 and above and for week one I studied for 1 hour at my house and my girlfriend made me study with her for 2 so that’s 3 hours :). And week two I did only 2 hours and got all caught up for the 2 days of school I missed because I was sick. I think i’m just going to do stick 1 and 3 for my weapon choice because i’m lazy and don’t believe I can learn the cool stick form.
