Sorry readers! I haven't blogged in forever and I leave for my ballet intensive tommorrow! I might have internet though. But I won't elaborate on that.
I haven't been up to much. I've been trying to get ready for my intensive, getting things together, breaking-in my pointe shoes. ('breaking-in' a pointe shoe is when we dancers bend and soften our pointe shoes. There are many techniques from doors to hammers.) And today when my mom and I are packing stuff up, I crash my toe in a mirror stand and (not trying to be gross) my toe starts bleeding. But don't worry, I'm okay. And I tried pointe tonight and my toe doesn't hurt.
That's all for now!
Bon Voyage! (That's French for 'Good Voyage!')

Book Suggestion
Hello readers! I have to get ready for art, so a quick book suggestion today!
This week's book suggestion is the Trackers series by Patrick Carmen. It's about this genius kid named Adam who has developed a bunch of things like security and more for computers. But, his work gets stolen and he's forced to do what the theives want him to do. If he doesn't, or if he calls the police, they put all his work on the internet, where anyone can take his work and call it their own. Adam and his friends decide to try and trick the theives and get back Adam's work before time's up.
What really makes this book interesting is not only the storyline, but how it's written. It's written as an interview with Adam from the view of an inspector. Plus there are videos on the Trackers website. You just type in a code from the book and you can watch the corresponding video. And if you don't have a computer handy, there's a written version of the video in the back.
Well that's this week's book suggestion! Don't forget to come back next week for another, and tommorrow for a quiz!
Salut!

UPDATE
Hello readers, I've been busy the past few days, so I'll try to update and catch up with you.
Saturday was spent mostly with my amazing friends! We had a sleepover! Unfortunately one of my friends is moving, so that was the main reason. But we had a blast!
Sunday was spent with my awesome parents! They do so much for me, they are truly unbelievable!
Monday was a school day. Yes I still have school to do! Mainly reading and math. Unfortunately I can't stand math. And I love to read, but it does build on itself.
And today. I can't tell you about ballet because my ballet is out! Yes, compleletly done for the year. Now for summer intensives. So today I went with my mom to her hair stylist. Have you heard about the lastest trend? Feathers? I want to get one! This trend is actually cool. But, I can't get one with my summer intensive, because they say no hair accessories. But, there are feather clips that look exactly like the real thing and you can take them on and off. I'm saving my money!
Then we went shopping for clothes for the summer. I found the coolest shoes. They were boots, but the foot part, (get this,) was a flip flop! It was the coolest thing! I didn't get them, but still!
I wound up getting a nightie, and the most gorgeous dress!!! Have you all seen Lemonade Mouth? I <3 that movie. The girl, Mo? It looks like somthing she would wear. It's navy with white polka dots and has a red belt.
Book suggestion tommorrow!

Book Suggestion!
It's Wednesday, which means it's time for a book suggestion! Or rather, a book series suggestion! So this week's book series suggestion is The 39 Clues.
The main plot of the series is about two kids, Dan and Amy, who are part of the most powerful family in history: the Cahills. When their grandmother dies, they learn all about this and the secret to the family's power which is hidden in 39 clues left around the globe. Before you know it, Dan and Amy are chasing the clues with their au pair, Nellie. They face all kinds of dangers, from rival family members, to the mysterious Madrigals.
This is a really good series. It can be kind of sad at times, but there's always a bit of comic relief. There are 10 books in the first series, and they are coming out with a second series. Plus along with the books there are card packs you can get. With each card pack and book comes some cards and codes. You can then go onto their website! You can sign up, find out which branch of the Cahill family you belong to, and then start your own hunt for the 39 clues!
And if you've already read the series and signed up online, what branch are you? And how many clues have YOU found?
Salut!
