Hey! I'm Rebekah, a 14 year old jewish homeschooler who loves ballet! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:44:00 -0500 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:44:00 -0500 Hey guys!!!! I am back from ballet camp in Pennsylvania!!! It was a lot of fun, I had 4 classes 5 times a week, and one on Saturntraldays. The camp took place in Carlisle, PA on the Dickinson college grounds. Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet was the company that actually held the camp. We were organized into a bunch of levels (there were, like, a million people there) and I was in Level C7. We had a lot of different Teachers coming from all over, Like SAB, Alvin Ailey, ABT, and CPYB itself. They were all really good teachers, and very nice people. All the kids there were cool too. I made some really good friends. Also, while I was there, I got a few sundresses (one from the TaylorSwift line :-D) and an awsome jean jacket that looks like Bella's, from Twilight. Oh yeah,I read all the Twilight books during my free time. I love them!!! I had to share a room with 2 other girls, Jill and Sierra. There were really nice, and very hilarious. On the weekends, we went to the Lake, The King Of Prussia Mall, the movies to see "The Proposal" and "Harry Potter", and Hersheypark!! At Hersheypark I found a new love for upside-down roller coasters!! They are awsome. I bought some chocolate for my family too. I loved seeing Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince! I had been looking forward to it sooooo much!!! When I got home (after five weeks!!!!), a couple days ago, I was shocked to find a pink guitar lying on my bed!!!! It is so awsome!!! I am going to try and learn how to play it as soon as I can, but I have to wait tilll we go to the library for that. I have to go now. I am helping Dad make a bunch of phone call to ask if people in our area want to vote for a specific person here in Palmyra.  I'll write later. After I finish unpacking, I haven't even gotten started!!! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/711890/ Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:44:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/711890/ Hey guys, I know I have not written for a while. 2 weeks, or something? But now I have a slideshow of my birthday party which was last sunday! Perhaps later I will have one up of my actual birthday. But right now I have to clean the kitchen and get some lunch!! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/693449/ Thu, 28 May 2009 11:21:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/693449/ Hello peoples!!! 2 days until my birthday! I am so excited about it! Mom and Dad and I are going to a cool Italian Restauraunt Saturday evening that has Calzones, and I looooove Calzones.  It's kinda like an inside-out pizza. It's really good. And on my birthday I will be bringing some cookies or cupcakes for everybody at rehearsal. And that means enough for 50 people.   I can't wait for the birthday party I'll be having here in Virginia,we will be going to the lake that is 10 minutes away from our house Also, today I got my hair cut, and I got it a bit more layered. So it looks a little better. On Saturday, at last, I am going to be able to get a facebook, since you have to be 14 to get one. Tonight I'll be getting all my ballet friends names so I can look them up on facebook. A couple nights ago Daddy helped me order some ballet leotards, tights and hair nets. Oh dear. I just looked down at the keyboard and table on which this laptop is on. It is covred in little bits of hair. Oops. I'll have to wash it again tonight. That would make the third time today my hair was washed; this morning I took a shower, at the hair cuttery they washed my hair, and to get the other bits our I shall have to wash it again. Somehow that reminds me, I now have to go and take out all the trashes in our house because tomorrow is trash day on our street. Sigh, there is a full week of rehearsals next week. Can't wait. I still wish we had more than one performance. Oh well. I better get working, I will try and write on my birthday. BYE!!!! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/688959/ Thu, 14 May 2009 12:11:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/688959/ HEY GUYS!! I FINALLY PUT A PRESENT TOY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE!!! HAVE FUN!! PLEASE SAY YOUR REAL NAME!! OR LOGIN NAME!  Yes, I know, I still have not put pictures of the Spring Gala Dress Rehearsal on yet. But Claire does not go on the computer very much, so you might, just have to wait until my mom takes pictures of us. Meanwhile here are some pictures from My Friend Emma's Conformation in Pennsylvania: Emma and I Emma, her brother Ben, and Me Us staring at Emma for no particular reason. And Pictures from Mother's Day We played Croquet. That ball was mine. I lost spectacularly and came in last Sarah Me. I am afraid to say I had that look on my face throughout the whole game. This one whole I took about 10 trys to finally get it through. Rachel I would put on more, but we didn't take many PA pics, and I didn't have time to upload all the Mothers Day Pictures. Sorry!! Bye Bye http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/688372/ Tue, 12 May 2009 18:33:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/688372/ 6 DAYS TO GO TILL MY BIRTHDAY! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! Anyway, everything has been pretty normal around here.  Rachel is soon to be leaving us for California.  Last week my computer's charger kinda got broken somehow (SARAH DID IT! just kidding.), so now I am using my old one, with which you must get the position exactly right, otherwise it wont connect. This past week was also the last week of dance classes, though we will be having some makeup classes this week. On Friday I mowed the lawn, and I think I finished math.  We'll see. Technically, I have 7 more lessons to do.  Today is mother's day, so we will be going to brunch, playing croquet, and I will mow the front lawn, do the dishes, and give mommy a card. I had better start on the dishes, I can hear them clanking. G2G!!! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/687446/ Sun, 10 May 2009 07:25:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/687446/ OHMYGOSHYOUGUYS!!!!!!  I read Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian!!! It came in the mail today! Right when it came out!  It was awsome!!!   I loved it!!!   I can't believe some of the things that happened in the book, but it was really sweet!   Everybody should read these books, they are so cool!I can't wait to see if the author (Rick Riordan) is going to make any other books of this sort! I hope so!! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/686093/ Tue, 5 May 2009 21:16:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/686093/ So guys, how do y'all like my underwater theme? It's not quite done yet, but I'm afraid I shan't have time to finish it this weekend. I am going to go to Pennsylvania to my friend Emma's conformation.  I also took away the etch-a-sketch because nobody seemed to be using it. I will try to put a poll on the sidebar of my blog too. Oh yeah, at long, long last all the trees are GREEN! I am so relieved. TWO WEEKS UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY! YAY YAY YAY YAY! I have already sent out invites to a birthday party to my ballet friends (the ones who live here anyway) and I think all of them said they could come. But, we'll see. The party will be one May 24th, and it will be a sleepover. I have no idea what we will do. I was thinking of just watching movies, maybe doing face masks (we can't paint out nails seeing as the spring gala would just be a week from then.) Oh wait. Maybe we will be able to do our nails. I don't know. I'll have to see what everyone will want to do. I honestly don't know how my sister Rachel will manage to have a birthday party online. I have never heard of that before. By the way, if y'all know any more underwater songs? I could really use them. Thank you!!! Gotta go pack. I am leaving in about 3 hours. See ya! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/684705/ Fri, 1 May 2009 08:58:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Rebekah/684705/ Here are some pictures from the Childrens Dance Festival. For the full story and some of the music the others danced to, go to my dance blog. As soon as I can I will put up pictures of the Rehearsal of Saturday.
