What I've Been Waiting For

Guess what?! Yesterday I got an IPHONE!!!!! I am so excited and happy! I've wanted an iphone for so long and my parents said that I could possibly get one for Christmas but I got it yesterday! The thing is, my dad didn't even have to pay for the phone, he won it in a draw. So now, we only have to buy the plan. My dad's looking around trying to pick the best plan so right now I can't use the phone. By Monday, I should be able to use it! I'm soooo excited! This is seriously, the best week ever! First, on Sunday, Denys wins So You Think You Can Dance Canada, and the next day I get an iphone! I can't even believe it!

What's Going On In My Life?

This post is basically random things that are going on in my life right now. I thought I should share some things, both good and bad. Now, I was going to save this until the end but I can't wait any longer... DENYS WON SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA!!!!!!!!!!! I watched the finale yesterday with my mom and when they announced his name, I started screaming and jumping up and down. I am so happy and I've been happy all day! He is my favourite dancer and he really deserved to win! I'm kinda sad that this season is over but I can't wait for season 4!
I'm really excited for Halloween on Sunday (yes, I'm on to a different subject). But the problem is, I don't know what to be! I still want to dress up, I mean, come on! You're never too old to dress up and go trick-or-treating! I really don't know what to be! Help! I don't really want to be a character from a book or a movie, I've done that almost every year. But I don't know what! Since I am so in to watching dance right now, I was thinking of maybe being a hip hop dancer. I can't really dance hip hop but I think it would be different than anything I've ever dress up as before. Hopefully on Monday, after Halloween I will post about it. :)
Now, onto school. I still haven't got my science unit test back yet and I'm kinda annoyed but also kinda relieved at the same time. Some of you may not know that I did a science unit test a few weeks ago and I am certain that I did horrible! I didn't finish like half the test! So, I don't really want that test back. Today I did a science quiz that doesn't count (more science, I know) and I think I did pretty well! That's a surprise! Oh!! And today in tech we started childcare! Were split into 3 groups and each day a different group gets to be in the pre-school to play with the kids. My group went today and I met this little girl and we were playing together the whole time! I also coloured with this other little boy and we played with the blocks and the "little people". It was fun! I love kids!
Guess what? I might be getting either a cell phone or an iphone soon! After much discussion with my parents, they agreed to buy me one but were not sure what yet. I hope I get one soon! I'm so excited!


I'm working on a video that I made about Denys right now so gotta go!

So You Think You Can Dance Canada

Back in the summer when I was camping at my trailer, I would have nothing to do in the evenings cause it was too dark to go outside. So one day, me and my mom decided to just watch some tv all evening and "So You Think You Can Dance Canada" was on and it was the first episode of the season (auditions). It was on every day for that week because it was the audition week so we watched everyday and that was when I got hooked on it. I've been watching it ever since and I haven't missed a single episode. If I can't watch a certain show, the next morning I'll wake up very early and watch it on youtube. Since I've been watching the show since it first started I definitely have my favourite dancers! From the beginning, I've loved Danielle and Sebastian. 
That is Danielle Gardner (pictures above). She, in my opinion was the best contemporary dancer in the whole show and I really thought she would make it to the top 4 but I guess not. I was really sad to see her go. She adds so much emotion to her dancing and really tells a story. You can tell that she is really passionate about dance and I love to watch her.
Sebastian Mersch was also an amazing contemporary dancer (pictures above) but he was different than any dancer I've ever seen. He is a very quirky, fun and extremely flexible dancer. When he dances, he always puts on a show and it's just so much fun to watch. Some people might call him weird but I think that just makes him different from everyone else and I love his personality! I'm sad that he didn't make it to the top 4 but I kinda saw it coming, I guess.

Danielle and Sebastian were partners for a while and I loved all of their routines. They did contemporary, theatre, hip hop, quickstep, bollywood, and more! They're so much fun to watch!                                                                
But I also love Denys, a ballroom/contemporary dancer and he is absolutely amazing! I've never seen anyone dance that well! He is an extraordinary dancer. I knew right from the beginning of the show that he would make it to the top 4. He's never had a bad performance and he absolutely killed every routine. Denys is such a strong male dancer and he is just incredible! He's done tango, contemporary, quickstep, house, samba, paso doble, mambo and salsa and he was great in everyone of them!

For those of you who don't watch the show, I'll explain a little about it. For the first show, all 22 dancers get paired up and then each week, they pick a style of dance out of a hat and perform it. Then, they announce the bottom 3 couples who then must "dance for their life". That means that each dancer gets to do a 30 second solo dance to show Canada what they can do. The judges will then pick 1 girl and 1 boy to be eliminated. After about 5 weeks of being with the same partner, they then switch it up. So, they get paired up with someone different every week. Then, Canada votes for their favourite dancer not their favourite couple. And then the bottom 2 dancers get eliminated. I am so excited! I just watched the final performance show on Wednesday and it was the top 4 dancers. Sadly, Danielle and Sebastian got eliminated from the top 8 but I'm still really happy that Denys is still there. I want him to win and I even voted for him a few times. I am so excited for Sunday because it's the finale! That is when they will announce the winner!!!! It's gonna be a 2-hour special and me and my mom are gonna watch together.

Here are some pictures of my favourite routines:

Life as a High School Student

This year I started grade nine. High School! High School is so different than Elementary School but it's so much fun! I've kept my friends from my old school but I've also met tons of new amazing friends. I never would have thought that grade 9 would start off so well... Minus when I lost my bag on the first day of school. Anyways, Homework is starting to pile up and I've been staying up pretty late last week doing homework. But I'm so glad it's the weekend right now! 
So I'm really liking high school and I'm so excited for the Halloween Bake Sale!
