Contact Troubles!!!!!!!

About a month ago, I got contact lenses. I'm not a huge glasses fan....
At first, I had troubles putting the contacts in my eyes. It feels kind of funny at first. I had no problems taking them out. Now, I have no problems putting them in and they pop in almost right away! The weird thing is, all of a sudden I'm having problems taking them out! Today, I tried my right eye a couple times. Didn't work, so I tried left eye. It worked.......but the right eye still had problems. I eventually got it out. I hope it gets better!

Cassie's agility training!

This is Cassie swimming earlier this summer. She is in full action!

Yesterday we were practicing for Cassie's agility classes that are on Wednesdays. Last class, she was afraid of everything. So, we made a teetor totter and she did that fine unlike in class! Ugh. We also made boards that went up. She was slipping so my mom had to hold her, for her to climb up. She's so funny.
She's gotten much better at targetting! That's where you put a white disc and say, "touch!" The dog is supposed to touch it with the nose or with the foot. Cassie sorta leaps and pounces to the target. It's adorable! I don't know how we got her to do it with the nose.
We haven't gotten to jumping over things in that class. We do tunnels though. They've gotten really long now, Cassie needs more training I think.
Well, we have class on Wednesday, so no more Cassie news until then! (unless she does someone annoying or funny non-agility related)

The Minnesota Feis

Irish Fair-August 2009

Yesterday was the Minnesota Feis! A Feis is an irish dance competition. I did pretty good.
Here's what I got:

Reel: 5th
Slip Jig: nothing
Treble Jig: 3rd
Hornpipe: 1st!

In irish dance, you do multiple dances. The Reel, Slip Jig, Treble Jig, and Hornpipe are all different dances with different tempos! The Reel and Slip Jig are soft shoe dances (no sound) and the Treble Jig and Hornpipe are hard shoe dances (like a tap shoe).

My 1st in the Hornpipe is brought me one step closer to PC. (prelim Championship) All I need now is the Slip Jig..........(I won my Reel and Treble Jig before)

Spirit Week

This week is Spirit Week at my school! This is where we dress in different "themed" clothing to be in spirit for the Homecoming game! This is what the different days are:

Monday: Mix and Match
Tuesday: "Letter Day" where each grade gets a letter. You dress up as something that starts with that letter. My grade's letter is A.
Wednesday: Kindergarten Day, where you dress up in clothes as if you were a Kindergartener.
Thursday: Light's on Day. You dress in all white.
Friday: Edina Day! You dress up in green and white, the city's colors!

Welcome to my blog

Hello!
It is Sunday evening and we are going to go eat dinner. I really don't want to go to school tomorrow, too much homework!
My dog Cassie is very peaceful today, that's rare. My other dog Sasha is always sleeping unless she is barking at animals or asking for food.
I just finished practicing Irish Dance. I was practicing for the Regional Championships, Oireachtas. I am so happy I am going! :)
