MY BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT

I did a push-up today! Well, actually I fell down....but I had to use my arms to get back up so close enough. Now I shall reward myself with some chocolate.

Dragon Tails

Oh boy did we prove we are the superior band AND gym class. It was conjoined gym and it was class on class dragon tails. Bands of the Bands per se. Regardless, we had a hefty class on class battle. On my half of the band, we couldn't get everyone to focus AT ALL. Everyone wanted to goof off and just do. But it didn't really matter because somehow we still managed to get everyone set on a plan even though they didn't really work. In the end, our class won and we proved superiority which made us rub it in their faces without care. Sorry guys but we can't help that we're better. 

Buddies 3

During the third buddy session (that I've done) we were working with our buddies on throwing balls. Please don't take that out of context. We all had tennis balls and were practising our throws in the grass field at Cambridge. What I found with our buddy is that she was having a hard time moving her foot while throwing and would instead put her foot out then throw. Near the end, I think she had a better grasp on what we were trying to have her do but she was very reluctant when we tried to assist her. She just wanted to play with the balls (there is no good way to say that). During the golf like part of the class, our buddy struggled with how much strength to put on the ball while throwing. We tried to help her understand she was throwing to hard and to soft and she eventually figured it out and she was rather proud. I think it was a very successful class.

Dance week

Dance week was.....interesting. The only dances we got to do were jazz and bungara. I'm just going to skip talking about jazz and go straight to the fun part. Bungara was done with the conjoined band classes and let's just say it was wild. Everyone was having such and amazing time and overall laughed the whole time. When we got in a big group to dance together we probably should've given each other more space considering we kept sitting on each other whenever we did the squat jump things. Our classes won (of course) and we somehow got Mr. Williams to attempt to dance which made us all laugh our socks off. He won though, so I don't feel to bad for laughing. This was probably the best dance week ever.

Buddies Day 2

Second day I've actually had with my buddy didn't go as well as I expected. It was nice to see my buddy again but since I was by myself (Hardil was away) our buddy seemed a little hostile towards me. I don't know if they just don't like me but they had a little attitude, but it was okay because they still listened to me without fuss. Gaby ended up partnering with me because her buddy was away but that was ok. We did slightly more advanced activities with our buddies but I think my buddy really enjoyed themself. Next time we have buddies, I hope my buddy is a bit more friendly but even if they aren't, they are my buddy and I am there to help them.

Buddies

I met my buddy for the first time on the second trip to visit since I was away the first. My buddy is adorable. I partner with Hardil and we both help with our buddy. We did basic activities such as different walks, hops and movements at first and our buddy was very cooperative. It some cases, our buddy wanted to lead us! Our buddy enjoyed doing the activities but the one thing I noticed was that our buddy didn't like when we told them how to improve what they were doing. I hope in time our buddy will realize that when we tell them how to improve, it's not because they are doing it wrong but because we want them to do it to the best of they're abilities. Hopefully our buddy will come to understand that. All in due time...

Badminton

Over spring break I did badminton with my friend Maddie. We are so terrible it's not even funny. It's hard to play outside with the wind as is but we laugh so much we sometimes can't even play a rally. We got together twice over spring break and went to the Cambridge parking lot where we'd play for an hour and a half. We chose badminton because her and I are playing on the junior badminton team for school and we just all and all love the game. We will probably start to do this as a more regular thing regardless of how sucky we are while goofing off. Oh well.
