AHS Winter Talent Show

Today at lunch I went to room 10 to audition for my school's winter concert talent show. I sang Jesus, Take The Wheel by Carrie Underwood and I got in! There will be a buyout for the concert near the beginning of December, and there will be a performance after schoool closer to the middle of the month. Some other acts include comedy, singers, dancers, guitar players, and a guy that can say anything backwards! The show sounds like a lot of fun!

Fight Against Discrimination!

Today I went to school having no idea what that I would be participating in.....a silence streak. It all started in math class at second period, when my friend Taylor wrote a note on his Ipod to my math teacher explaining that he would not be talking because he was on a silence streak against discrimination. I would have joined in too, but I had talent show auditions at lunch and I would have to sing. However, the auditions were cancelled and rescheduled to Thursday, so I walked to the main foyer and I stuck a piece of bright pink duct tape across my mouth, determined to stay silent from that point on. Not everybody was participating for this cause but the majority of the school was. Near the end of lunch the streak ended, although anyone who wanted, could continue to show their support. My plan was to continue...but my french teacher had us answer her questions and do the french activities because the streak was actually over. Other than this I did kept my mouth shut. In science (P.4), people were still wearing the duct tape over their mouths, while for some people their teachers had made them take it off and it had lost its "stickiness". Once the bell ring I still kept mine on, but I think only one guy and I were actually continuing on with the streak. Once I got home I took the tape off....but am still being silent. It is 5pm and I plan to stay silent until tomorrow morning. I have never realized how much of a chellenge it is and how greatly we use our voices. I am happy and proud to be supporting a good cause.

Countdown!

25 days until Kelly and Derrick's wedding.......32 days until Christmas.......and 18 days left of school until the holiday break!!

It's Started!

Last night for the first time I heard Christmas music on a commercial on TV, and today I noticed decorations on the street lights in Ancaster. The Christmas season has started! I'm already starting to get into the holiday spirit, and I'm sure Kelly already is too. Only a month from tomorrow will be Kelly and Derrick's wedding and 6 days after that will be Christmas! The malls and stores are already packed with people trying to get a head start on their shopping, and there's Christmas music filling the stores. I am very excited for this holiday season.

31 days until Kelly and Derrick's wedding, a month from tomorrow!

Diabetes Awareness

Yesterday, November 12th, all of the elementary schools both public and private in Ancaster, came to Ancaster High wearing blue ponchos to raise awareness for diabetes. We were trying to break the world record for the macarana. We needed to beat 1,836, I think it was and we had at least a couple thousand. So we stood in a big circle and danced to the macarana for 5 mins. straight. It was a lot of fun, and I think we broke the world record. However most importantly, it was for a good cause.

VMT's Hairspray.....the cast show!

The auditions for this year's musical Hairspray took place on Saturday the 30th from 10am-1pm and a couple of hours later I got a phone call telling me who I was cast as in the show. I auditioned for Tracy and Penny and I got the part of Prudy (which is Penny's mom). Also, my friend Bronte is Penny! I am very excited for the show in March/April and tonight is the first read-through of the script.
