HMS Tract Meet

 

On May 7 we had the HEIDELBERG MIDDLE SCHOOL  TRACT MEET! We were assigned running parts in the tract meet.  Some people were in field events. I was in the 400 and 800 meter relay races. Only 4 girls were assigned for those on our P.E. class. Two girls were also assigned the mile in our class and I was one of them. I didn’t want to be in the mile at first, but I had to.

I ran first in the 400 meter relay race and we made 2nd place. When we were practicing against the boys for the 400 relay, we beat them every time. The 800 relay was harder because we had to 200 meters each and I’m better at short distance than long. I think we made 3rd place for that.

Then I ran the mile and went really slow the whole time so I wouldn't fell sick. I thought one girl was ahead of me but she apparently collapsed and couldn’t go any further.  I passed on girl on the final lap, but didn’t realize it. She barely passed me  on the last step of the race.  That’s why everyone was cheering so loud! I ended up second place.

It was a FUN Tract Meet!

Ballroom Soiree

 

All of the ballroom classes performed our dances on the 23rd of May, including Ryan and me.  I am in Ballroom 2.  Mrs. Arianna is our ballroom teacher and is amazing.  My class opened the show with ‘MEN IN BLACK’ which is a Rumba dance. It was one of my favorite dances. The girls all wore black pants and a button up shirt with the boys who wore black ties. We changed into our dresses which were black and white.

Later we finished our dances which were: The Foxtrot, the Waltz, the Swing (which I was the male for), the Hustle, and the Polka.

There were many solos from Ballroom 4 and one from Ballroom 2 which we were really exited about. We had dinner in our brakes. To close the show Ballrooms 2,3 and 4 performed the Samba. First the ballroom 2 finished and froze while 3 and 4 finished their routines. It was really fun!!

The Hunger Games

I recently finished the Hunger Games series. I love the characters and the book: The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mocking Jay. I liked the first book the best! I have also gotten lots of my friends to read the series. Go Peeta!
