Friday I didn't really do anything but saturday I had a lot going on. I told you about how I signed up for Hubbard Street dance company. Well yesterday was my first day there and I don't know what I was think taking three classes! First saturday was my first day driving downtown not technically my first but my first without anybody in my car. And I managed to find a paring spot.

Dancing from 1130 to 4 for the entire day, my first class was modern. I loved it! It was so much fun and some moves were harder than others but I was able to catch on. This class was an intermediate modern. The teacher was so nice to. This class I would definitely stay in the intermediate I thought it was a really good challenge and a good workout to.

The second class I took was beginner/intermediate ballet. Wow this one was tough. I kept looking at the time thinking when will i be out of here. I think I was just really intimidated by all the other girls. I am debating on trying one beginner class just to see how I feel about it. Other wise i do like a challenge and I think that it was just hard to catch on to the teachers way of teaching. I have been with only on ballet instructor and I think it is just because I am so used to their method of teaching.

The third and final class of the day, intermediate HIP HOP! Oh i was so excited for this class. I love hip hop in general. So she is teaching us the dance and it was and it was incredibly fast. I managed to keep up but I did have some trouble with some of the moves but I really liked the dance and did try my hardest. So toward the end she asked me if I have ever taken hip hop classes before and I told her not here this is my first time here. She knew right away that I danced in the "suburbs". she said "hip hop in the city is way different than hip hop in the suburbs". So yea she told me I have to take my city classes, which I understand and all the other stuff she told was the opposite of what i learned and went by. It was tough but I am going to be ready for next time.

After I got home from dance, wiped and my foot was hurting so bad, I was watching my little brother and his friend go down the water slide we have. I though about it and thought it would be neat to photograph them going down. It was fun and I really like the water shooting up and their faces. I got some neat photographs out of it.

Lastly sunday I worked on homework all day then my mom made me make a tie pillow. I could not believe how sore I was from dance. I know it has been about a month of no dancing but I just was soo sore. Even at work it was hard for me to function because of how sore I was.

I had a lot of things going on this weekend. Being fourth of july I had a fun time with my boyfriend and my cousin and her boyfriend. My cousin just came home from being in poland for a month. So it was nice seeing her and spending the weekend with her. My family went up to michigan thursday so I had the house to myself all weekend.

Friday I didnt have work so I spent the morning finishing up home work at the boys house. I did return two shirts, well a dress shirt and a dress jacket in return for five items!! which included a new swim suit. So after that and my homework my boyfriend and I got ready for the evening and took a train downtown to meet with my cousins. When we got on the train we were lucky to find a spot because of how crowded it was. But once we got down there went walked to the bean and took plenty of pictures. My boyfriend loves milkshakes so we found a place that has milkshakes and I got so mad cuz the person didnt put the lid on my drink all the way so I spilled milkshake all over my shirt. Luckily I had a hoodie.

After my cousin finally got there we walked to Dick Last Resort. It was fun and loud. I preferred Edebevics over that place though. We did a lot of walking, we finally got near the taste to watch the fireworks and it was so crowded we couldnt find anywhere to sit. The fireworks started going so we just sat in the walkway. After that it took a while to get back to the train station, which was so congested. We managed to get on the train and had to stand for most of the ride. I was exhausted and just wanted sleep by the end of the night.

Getting back to my house we went to bed and woke up early the next to go to michigan. The weather was terrible and rained just about all day. I went tubing for a little bit. I didnt actually go on the tube cuz the water was to cold but my sister did with her friend. We have one of those three seater tubes. It was a lot of fun and I was taking pictures to. Like the action shots.  I was so mad that I missed the shot of them wiping out. We were going over to many waves and couldnt shoot.

We saw some firework, lit some sparklers, and ate smores and banana boats. It was fun even though the weather. My and my boyfriend left that night because I didnt wanna stay over night. Slept in the next day but I worked at four. Work was terrible. It was slower than ever and I had such crappy tips. Although I did figure out plans for celebrating my birthday practically all this month. ha. First my bday is the 14th so the 15th were having a bonfire. some weekend we are going to hollywood boulevard because I got 8 free tickets for my bday and I can use them anytime this month. Everything should be fun and I cant wait!
