On August 8, 2009, Stetson and I went to Vans Warped Tour. It was kinda fun. We saw one band that we like called "We The Kings." They're freaking AWESOME!!!!! They are a really cool band. Bayside was the big band that came this year but we didn't stay for it. After "We The Kings," we were bored so we decided to come home.
As we were coming out of Heber, we passed at most 30 Ferrari's! Red one, blue one, yellow one, red ones, black ones, silver ones. They were pretty :D!

Stetson, his friends and I all sat outside the theater for 5 and 1/2 hours to see the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. When we showed up we were close to the end of the line and there weren't to many people there. By at least 10 o'clock a lot of people were there but for some reason they were all in front of us. When they open the theater, they wanted everyone in a single file line. Well for a little bit we were father up than where we were before and then they moved us back. We were almost backed up all the way to the end of the street and then we moved up and were pushed back again. Finally at 11:30 we were seated in the theater.

During those five hours, we ate pizza drank pop, played games, laughed, talked, quoted movies and Youtube videos, and laughed some more. Between Fara and Kelton we were all laughing. Our group decided that they need water and bathrooms and now, so they left and right after they did, the line started moving, really fast. After they raced back, the line stopped, so we decided to play the water bottle game. You have to flip a water bottle and try to get it to side up right. You have to have the perfect amount of water in the bottle and just enough force. Let say most of the group could do it but Jacob really struggled. All together, midnight movie showings are a blast!

The movie it's self was pretty good. Stet's friends said it is one of the better movies of the Harry Potter saga, but I didn't care for it to much. I guess I should have reread the sixth book.

Executive Office

At school we were having elections for executive student body government. They gave us the chance to get students to sign a petition so that you could run for office if you were eligible. In the beginning we have a boy and a girl running for President, one boy running for Vice President, one girl running for Secretary, and one boy and me running for Historian. On Tuesday, since no one else had to hang up posters, the other boy and I hung up posters. Today, Monday, every one running had to do a skit. I helped my friend in hers and she helped me in mine. I'm excited to say that i'm the new Historian!!!!

We're off the go get Stetson!

11 days left and counting! My parents and I are going to Brazil for a week and we're bringing back Stetson. It's going to be so much fun. I'll be posting pictures when we get back and everything here is calmed down. Ha ha :) We'll be flying right into Manuas. As far as school, I'm missing 7 days of school (so much homework! well it's worth it). In my choir class, part of the my grade is earned from attendance. Being gone for 7 school days would probably bring my grade from an A to an F, which would not be good. So the teacher allows us to come in before we leave and get an assignment to make up the days we're gone. So I went into him and asked him if I could get an assignment and he told me no! I was about to argue when he told me just be prepared the tell the class (of over 40 kids!!!!) about my trip and that if I heard music, the compare it to some of the music we're singing. I've talked to some of my other teachers and they're giving me my homework when I get back. So possibly no homework for the trip!!! YAH!!! But lucky me, I'm missing core testing for school :(. So I'll have to make those up when I get back. . . . . . .

In Brazil we'll arrive at the end of the rainy season so hopefully it won't rain to much but I'm sure it's still going the be hot. As Stetson would describe the heat, "Imagine that your in the desert on the HOTTEST day of the year, now you build a fire and you sit in front of it." The heat will be interesting but nice in some ways. I'm hoping to get a really nice tan :) I think my mom said that it's going to be in the 80 degrees when we first get there!

Well it's still sport season. Track has started. YAH!!!!! I had my first practice today. It was to cold outside so we moved the long-jump mats inside. Everyone who wanted to be analyzed on their jumping after not practicing for a year was able to do that. The Coaches said that that was the most kids that had EVER been their for the first practice. There were about maybe maximum 50 kids!!!! I plan on running the 200 meter. I might go for the 100 meter dash and the hurtles but I'm not sure.

Basketball Season

So as you all may know its basketball season right now. We've played about 5-10 games and I'm sad to report my Varsity team has won none! J.V. has been doing so good, thanks to the Assistant Coach (who is by far fabulous). It's getting pretty frustrating and upsetting after losing game after game but we'll just have to keep trying our hardest. Most of us at least are trying to have some fun out of it, on the court and off
.

Jazz Game

On Saturday night (January 10) my parents and I went to the Jazz game. It was so fun. The Jazz played the Detroit Pistons and won 99 to 82. Carlos Boozer and Richard Hamilton didn't play due to injuries (Boozer had knee surgery and Strained quadriceps). Money Maker (Mehmet Okur) made a few 3-pointers. The Jazz started Derron Williams, Paul Millsap, CJ Miles, Ronnie Brewer, and Mehmet Okur. The Jazz won Tip-Ball and took the lead the whole game. Okur received four fouls in the middle of the third quarter and didn't play the rest of the game. The Pistons coach was jumping all over the place when his players got a foul or he didn't like the way the reffs were reffing. Sloan left his seat one time during the game besides quarters or half-time. My mom is holding one of the many cheersticks that were being wacked that night. That night we even saw the Bears Crew "Dunk Team" sponsered by McDonalds. These guys do some pretty insane stuff. They jumped and flipped over the Nu Skin Jazz Dancers. They ran, jumped, flipped, spun, and dunked it. After their act was over they chucked one of the bballs they used into the crowd above us and it landed on someones drink, so what they were drinking flew onto the crowd below. During the whole game no one got hurt, I say it's becasue I was there :). During half-time and time outs minigames were played (Deal or no Deal, Special section of the night, Special seat, and the fourwheeler game). The game was so much fun, I can't wait to go again. :)
