Coppelia

I haven't posted in like a month. So I'm just gonna talk about Coppelia and whats been going on and stuffs. Yesterday was our first on stage rehearsal. And the entire 3rd act set was up. there were columns, bells, flowers that looked like grapes, and really sparkly pillows that the villagers sit on.
What really bugged my was that on the sides there are usually giant curtains or something that covers most of the wing. But now those curtain thingies are like see through because it's mostly flowers on it. We would usually run out on count 3. But because of the see through thingies we have to start so far back that we have to run on the count 1.

Dress rehearsal is today! So that means we get to wear out TUTU'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are SOOOOOOO pretty! They are pink with little gold lacy thingies. And we have little arm tutu's that look like the same thing. And we wear AWESOME tiaras. They are gold and they have small pink flowers with little crystals falling from it. But the only bad thing about it is that we don't wear anything underneath out tutu's. And we had our fitting with a leotard on! I think that they're all going to be a little big.
I'm really sad about the casting decision. There are 48 girls in my part. 24 in each cast. The Skittles were hoping and praying that we were all in the same cast. Or at least 2 and 2. But instead it was 1 and 3. I was so sad. Grace is in cast A. And Ella, Kiana, and I are in cast B. Grace and I usually carpool as well. But not for this show. So I might carpool with another girl in my cast, Rowan.


Well, I have to get ready to go to rehearsal. So I'll post in another month or so!

Today....

Well, I haven't posted in a while.... So I'm just gonna post about today!

I woke up at 9:00. I got up and played with the doggies. Fernando smelled really bad. I got Mini Wheats! I love that cereal. I did my school. Then I played on the computer. I did my chores after that. I don't love sweeping. I went back to my game. I posted about today! I played outside. I came inside because it was cold. I ate lunch at 1:00. I was practicing our lil' dance. I went in my room after that. I danced to one of my favorite songs, Party Rock Anthem. I came out and watched TV. At 2:00 I had a protein bar for class later. At 2:30 I got ready for class. By 3:00 I was done. I was waiting for my friend, Grace to arrive. She arrives, and we head out for the bus. We take a bus to the Transit Center, then we go on the 511 bus that takes us to Downtown Seattle. Grace and I sit in the back. This Chinese guy overheard us talking about a snack that I brought. (Goldfish) He asked us for our names and ages. He said he's been working at this one place for like 17 years. And he gave us his Company Pen. It's PURPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it doesn't write in purple.
We waited a while because of traffic. We were having a very interesting conversation with him but sadly.... We couldn't understand him that well because of his accent. Once we got close to our stop this lady sits down next to us. She starts talking to us as well. She asked us if we were going to Gymnastics or Ballet. So we answered. Ballet. And then she starts talking to us about her kids and how they wanted to be in Gymnastics. Then the Asian guy starts talking and she interrupts him like, "Don't get all up in their grill, man! These kids are just kids, man!" Then she starts talking to us again, "Now you guys, don't talk to strangers. People can be really mean to kids. So don't talk to anybody you don't know." It's like, WAT DA POO!!??!? You're a stranger and you're talking to me!! WAT DA POO!?!?!? I don't think that they realized that we had my mom with us. Oh well....

Well....  That was today. But that guy was really nice so I hope that he's there next time!

Bye!

Gracie!!!!!!!!!!!!

So in (yet another) earlier post. I talked about my friend, Gracie. (or Grace) Fernando absolutely LOVES Grace. And this is what he does when Gracie leaves the house.

I took this picture of him with my new camera while he was yawning. Pretty cool. Dis is wut meh doggie does, when gracie leaves him.

Skittles!

Okay, so in an earlier post I talked about skittles. And I don't mean the candy. I mean, me and my friends.

The Story of the Skittles:

My friends Grace, Ella, Kiana and I, were all auditioning for PNB's summer program. We all wore different colored leotards to the audition. Mine was pink. (Of course) Grace's was purple, Ella's was a light blue, and Kiana's was black.
When we came out of the audition we all had some time before class to eat lunch. As we were eating, Ella's mom came in and told us that we all looked like Skittles! So from there, we were called Skittles!
I'm the red skittle. Ella is the green skittle. And Grace and Kiana are both the purple skittle.
We never talked about which color skittle we all were, I just made it up right now.

So that is the story of DA SKITTLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meh Birfday! (2.0)

Today is my birthday!  But yesterday was my party. My friends Atira and Rachel came. We played lots of fun games and ate the most delicious cake in the world! It was a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting with Reeses Pieces all around the side like a wall. And we put Reeses Mini's on top in a big circle. Then we sprinkled more Reeses Pieces on top. It was a chocolatey MESS! But it was nummy!

For presents, (I'm just gonna say them in the order that I got them) From my friend Rachel, all she gave me was a card that had 20 bucks in it! It was aweshum. From my other friend Atira, She gave me a card (of course) And a t-shirt that had three little ballerinas on it, with other pieces of colorful fabric that looked like tutu's. And then.... NUTELLA!!!!! I love Nutella! But Sierra hates it for some weird reason. Okay, moving on. From my parents, a bracelet made out of Swarovski crystals. It was pink sparkely and pretty! And then I got a camera! It was a pink Canon. It's aweshum! It has lots of different settings, modes, and sounds. But the best thing is, is that it's better than Ethan's and mine was 70 dollars cheaper!!! :D!

So that was my birfday! my Grandma will be coming later today to give me my present!

Buh-bye!

I'm in Coppelia!

Okie dokie! (For those of you who don't know) Coppelia is a ballet about a doll, that tries to make a guy jealous. The guy falls in love with a doll but he doesn't know that she's a doll. But this dude has a girlfriend. And that makes her mad. So she dresses up like a doll. And stuffs. And that's pretty much the story.
But anyways, my two friends Ella and Kiana told me and my other friend Grace, that they got in to Coppelia. I really wanted to check the mail but Sierra said that there was nothing for PNB. So the next day we all went shopping with my Grandma. And while we were at Fred Meyer my mom got a text saying, "Grace got into Coppelia. We'll be praying that the fourth Skittle gets in too!" (BTW the skittles is our little club name)
So I was bugging my mom over and over, "Can we go now?!?!?!?" And eventually we left. It was like 1:45 ish. And the mail usually comes at 3 ish. But we stopped and checked the mail anyway. And........ THE MAIL WAS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My mom got in the car again and I asked, "Is there anything from PNB?!" She was looking through it and she saw a letter that said, "To the parents of Abigail Opper" I grabbed it really fast and opened it. I read the first 2 lines.... And I screamed.
I get a pretty pink and gold little TUTU!!!!! EEEEP! I'm super duper super duper excited!

We have 4 weeks to learn 4 little dances. I'm super nervous. But I'm just glad I don't have a prop.

So.... Yea! Buh-bye!

Confrences!

Okie dokie! So, every year I have a confrence to see if I can move up at dance class. So I was really hoping that I could so I can stay with all of my friends, and not have to be with all of the level 3's.
I walked into my teachers office so she could tell me yes, or no. She said that I had really nice feet and legs, and that I needed to work on more energy and stuffs. And then.... She said, "So, we're looking forward to seeing you in level 5 in the fall." I WAS SO HAPPY! If there wasn't people in the room I would have screamed my face off. But I could hold it in. (But I was screaming on the inside... :D)

We went out to dinner to celebrate. We went to Todo Mexico. It was NUMMY! And now I have to do some weird thing on Minecraft with Ethan. We're supposed to make a Mexican restaurant and Have Florence and Miss Jessica be eating there. (I'll tell you about Florence and Miss Jessica in another post.)
I play Miss Jessica. And Ethan is Florence. (Yes, Ethan plays a woman.)

So, that was meh post! Buh-bye!
