phone book ripping

So today at a stake youth council meeting one of the leaders taught me and two guys how to rip a phone book. So I did it twice. got home and tried to show my dad, it didn't work. That's the story of my life. anyway here are some pictures. and the phone book the leader ripped was like 3X bigger then the ones we ripped.  also my computer is lame and put the text like this and I'm too tired to retype it.

I'm glad some people know there medical stuff

So Sarah Burke is a professional canadian skier who was in park city last week when she fell coming out of the pipe after doing a trick. she had surgery to connect a vertebral artery, and it says she died of a ruptured artery which cause a cardiac arrest and the lack of oxygen to her brain did serious damage. good thing I asked a girl on facebook if they pulled her off life support (if that's how she died) and she said yes. I'm glad to know having a heart attack and being pulled off life support are the exact same thing.

liberty training

Liberty Training (as defined by Carolyn Resnick) is a method of training a horse in a free environment without tack from the ground in a wide open space large enough for a horse to avoid his training if he wants to.
I think this is pretty awesome. Have you ever wonder how horses in movies do cool stuff, or how people teach horses tricks? Well this is probably the way 80 % of them do it.  Most trainers use 2 whips. 1 is used as a guide to point where to go, the other is used for impulsion. Some people get so good that the slightest movement means something. I think that's crazy. So anyway one day when I get a horse I want to train them like this. 

Talent for losing stuff

So I'm really good at not knowing where my own stuff is especially after I clean my room. I know that might sound weird. My body naturally accommodates the second law of thermodynamics into my everyday life and surroundings. I don't usually lose other peoples stuff. I guess I just get bugged when I'm blamed for losing something I haven't even touched. e.g., my mom's nice material cutting scissors (I haven't cute material in like 1.5 years. I told her the other day I have no idea where they are and I haven't used them, Today my dad "lost" his tape, and stapler (they were on his desk where he left them) , then my mom goes back on her "where are my scissors?" I have no idea. Yet they don't believe me, even though right after my dad blamed me he pointed out "they're right where I (he) left them." Oh well. I guess I'm really good at unknowingly losing other peoples stuff.

Anyway I really like my English class this semester and I get to start working with the ponies again which I'm SUPER EXCITED about.

1st ever vlog. It's about War Horse

food

So I really enjoy food.

I learned that although the couches in the new wing of the Tanner building are very comfortable when you're trying to study The Book of Mormon and food smells keep wafting out of the elevator, it's kind of hard to focus especially when hungry. I remember someone telling me that there was a restaurant somewhere in this building, and the food smelled so good so I looked it up on the computer and went to find out. I asked for directions. I got a pulled pork sandwich, which I normally just have a bread and the pork. No at "blue line" it's like fancy sourdough bread, swiss cheese, cole slaw, pork and this weird orange ranch stuff. I don't like cole slaw but I got everything else. I'm currently sitting outside my classroom for my next class at 4. I was again reminded why I don't usually eat in front of people because food should be enjoyed and not prettily eaten, small proportioned bites, table manners. Which I always feel obligated to do when I'm around people. So I ate half of my sandwich in 2-3 minutes. Last half took about 7 minutes. But I was starving. So I ate it. Besides that and the protein (cliff) bar I had this morning I'm doing pretty well. Also had some hot chocolate and some wheat thins.

Thought I was sore before

Oh man, I am so sore. I guess that just means I'm using my muscles. Yesterday in ballet we did retires, attitudes, frappe, more plies, battement lent (lifting your leg forever) and a bunch of other stuff. My back muscles, upper leg, and gluteus hurt, along with some of my stomach muscles. I can barely walk and I probably look really weird when I do. Tomorrow we are going to be doing grand battements, and start working in center. We have to stand alphabetical this week at the barre and I'm in the middle of the role so I stand on the edge of one barre but it's near the corner and another girl dances on the barre, and in order for our legs not to touch I either have to go below her or above her.  I try to go above. I stretched after class and was surprised I still have my splits mostly down. Probably like 2-3 inches off the ground. Side straddles are a different story. When we did élevés yesterday the teacher made me turn in more because my left leg was shaking. my legs usually shake, she thought it was because I am over rotating my legs and I'm rolling on the ball of my foot. that's not it. I couldn't bent my foot for like 3-5 months so my muscles are weak and not used to moving. which is a disadvantage. It's a good class. I feel bad i keep getting annoyed when people in my class ask questions I know the answer to. I have to remind myself it's a beginning class and I was there once too. So yeah.
