Oh my! BLAH!!! The Viennese Waltz is all about lifting and spinning, spinning while lifting, and lifting then spinning. Can anyone else see why I'm so blah! It is fun, don't get me wrong, to do the viennese waltz, but it can be quite tiring. You have to move super fast and spin and lift!!! At least I am super lucky, my partner is light! And I am buff! Haha! Honestly, I have no idea what the other couples will do. Our routine is very over the top, and quite honestly I think we will be the only ones actually doing the lifts! I hope so, it will make us stand out. Dancing is so crazy. Crazy, crazy, crazy! After looking up some facts I found something interesting. In a true Viennese Waltz the couple never stops turning. Not once. Pretty crazy huh? I hope I don't throw up from being dizzy.

Tomorrow Is Just Another Day For You To Lose
Well, that title isn't very fitting for me. On Saturday, my dance partner and I, had a Cha-Cha competition. We had to come up with our own routines and perform them infront of a huge crowd of kids. (This was a church dance thing) So of course my ballroom dance partner and I entered. We had no idea for what was coming up. They gave us four songs to pracitice to so we thought we got to pick one to compete on. WRONG! We had a routine about 3:15 long, well the song they chose was about 1:30...YIKES!!! We had to make up stuff on the fly. We had to talk to each other while dancing and keeping our feet in order to keep up. In the end we were able to hit some sort of finishing pose. All we could do is hope that half of our normal routine would impress them enough to win. We missed so much of our neat stuff I thought we were out for sure. Believe it or not, we still won. Crazy, huh? Honestly, as one of my friends put it, that was pro. It was awesome to dance infront of all those kids. My dance partner had the most awesome costume! It was all sparkley and completely awesome! It was the best costume by far. I had a silver silk tie! Pretty neat huh? Next month they are holding a Waltz competition! I can't wait!

You Might Think I'm Happy, But I'm Not Gonna Be Ok!
I am so tired lately. My diagnosis of the problem: insomnia. I spend hours just under my blankets in my bed, wondering why the sandman hates me so much. According to several sources, insomnia is common in teenagers as their body is practically on steriods. Geez...at least dance is going great! It gives me a reason to grind out another week of torture. One way I have chosen to counteract this is to start actually working out and eating better. A healthier diet and more active lifestyle can help to keep the body energized and ready for everyday work. Today I tried V8. (This is what made me want to make myself better) Man, I have been missing out. V8 was just like fruit punch, only healthy! I felt so great afterwards! Another thing I am going to try is reading more. By keeping my brain active, and not just on hibernate mode while watching T.V., it will help to shake this tired feeling. I hope to stick to this plan. I really do.

Jacob (Creative Name Huh) IT'S A GYM!!!
NAL we sooo much fun. We played against a team that have been UNDEAFTED for YEARS. We were down by one and Jacob (hhahaha love that name) answered one right. It put us in the lead with only 10 secs left on the clock. THE WHOLE FAIRFIELD SIDE SCREAMED AND JUMPED. The next question would decide the game. NO ONE KNEW IT! WE WON! GO JACOB!!!
