This week we did a lab that included flames and how they change colors depending on which element is being burned. It was really cool because there were all sorts of different colors that appeared! Colors like red,hot pink, green and other showed and it was pretty cool on how the element and fire reacted.
This week was also HOMECOMING WEEK! All this week we dressed up according to the theme of the day (like wacky Wednesday!) It was really fun to see everyone all dressed up and it was really pumping everyone up for the homecoming football games and the homecoming dance! And today was the homecoming rally. I danced in the rally to "Single Ladies" with a bunch of other people and we did really good! It was lots of fun to dance in front of everybody and seeing everyone's faces. I know that I had a blast! I also skipped 2nd and 4th period to do my little dance number! I had lots of fun dancing and I really want to do it again! And after school me and some friend are watching the homecoming game! Hopefully we win. It's the first game that we play with the lights! But I don't think that they're ours....But still. It's pretty exciting. What a day...What a day it's going to be=]

Essay and Encore
Well, this week was pretty tough. I have had worse weeks, but this was a week that was still intense. The most important things that happened this week were writing a French Revolution essay and trying out for Mills' dance team called Encore.
This essay was really hard for me to do because I have never done two-part paragraphs the way that my teacher does it. It was tough finding all of the evidences and supporting evidences to prove my thesis. The hardest part was the analysis and making sure that the essay made sence! Luckily I had the rest of today to turn it in because my class had to turn it in on a website which gave me more time to finish and make sure that it was perfect. I'm sure glad that that's over.
This week I also thought that it would be fun to try out for Encore. I love to dance and I have danced for about six years. I thought that I might as well just try out for the team and see what happens. I was a nervous disaster though! I didn't think that I was going to be so nervous, but then I was shaking! I have no idea on how I did. Hopefully I made an impression on them that will last. But, I guess I will just have to see what happens in the future.

PTO International Meeting
Before I talk about this PTO Meeting, I have to say that this week has been pretty intense. I don't know why but it seemed like all of my teachers wanted to give me homework. I had a lot of work to do in so little time. I'm so happy that this week is finally over, and know i can catch up on some sleep hours!
Anyway, along with this stressful week, I also participated in the PTO International Meeting where my Latina Club and I danced. First, we had to remember what our dance was because we haven't practice since last year! Then, we needed to get all of our outfits put together. I know that it doesn't seen like a lot, but it was. We all pretty much forgot the dance, so we had to start all over again. We had an hour of practice almost everyday, along with that I had a bunch of homework! This week was stressful, but everything turned out great.
The dance we performed in front of students,faculty,and families turned out wonderful! I had a lot of fun. On top of that, I got all of my work done! I'm so happy that everything turned out for the better and I know that these types of weeks are going to get even more similar as the year goes by..
