Spring Break (For Some)



Hi, this is Kaya.

Because we go to different schools, we don't all have spring break at the same time. This week is spring break for Kirsten, Bree, Charissa, and me. We all had Monday off because of the holiday, but everyone else had to go off to school like normal today. Poor them! They'll be the ones gloating when they get time off later and we don't, though.

So, what are we doing with our free time? Well, Kirsten and Bree are kind of being stereotypical teenagers, sleeping late and not doing very much. Bree and I have been watching a bunch of old Star Trek, Stargate, and Doctor Who episodes, though. It's great to have a sister who likes sci fi like I do!

Besides that I've been working hard, but not on school stuff. My dance recital is coming up soon, and now I'm in five dances! It's going to be crazy! Three of them are ballet and two are modern. I love dancing. It's a lot of effort to get ready, but it'll be worth it.

Charissa started volunteering with an animal rescue group a couple of times a week. This week they're sending her and some other volunteers to a workshop about how to train dogs. (And they're paying.) It's so the volunteers can help when the rescue gets dogs that have very bad manners or poor training. The volunteers will teach them to be good dogs before they go to their new families - and Charissa gets to help.

By the way, speaking of dogs... we're getting one in just a couple of days! We're so excited! :-)

Love,
Kaya

P.S. Bree wanted to give you guys some news that she forgot to tell you. She did make the running team, but she decided not to do it because she has Literary Society and Drama Club, plus normal homework. (I think she was also kind of freaked out by what happened at the tryout.) At least she can know she was a success, though!

  1. Hehe...count me in with Kirsten and Bree. Well, just the sleeping part. ;)
    Congrats on the dancing, Kaya! My sister used to be in similar situations back in France (she usually has a dance for ballet, pointe, and character), and I'm assuming Malorie's and Chrissa's life are that way as well. Malorie says that she is excited for you and would love to see you post about your recitals.
    Congrats to Charissa, too. I'm sure she'll have fun.
    Oh, and one more congrats to all of you...be sure to post about your dog when you get him...or her.

  2. Thanks, Sabine! :-)

    Wow, you know a lot of dancers. That's cool.

    One of my dances for the ballet part is en pointe. I'm most nervous about that one. I've been dancing en pointe for almost a year but I haven't performed it yet. Hopefully it'll go OK.

    I'll be sure to post about my recital when it's done. Well, once I've slept off the exhaustion and adrenaline, of course. ;-)

    Love,
    Kaya

  4. Thanks! We don't have our dog yet (as you'll see in our next post) but we're still excited about it.

    We're having a great break!

    Love,
