Social Chatting

Okay…just a sec…I've got to try 5 minutes of jumping jacks…be right back :D

EDIT: Well, I'll have to do it later as Bethany wants me to wait on that and use the computer :D

Here. Logged in the wrong account.

Carissa- Let me know how you feel afterwards :D

Alrighty.

Nice picture! How long have you played? That's great that you play violin. It's such a lovely instrument!

Go Carissa! :D

Oh yeah. I've done 10 minutes of toe-touches before, not such a good idea.

Lol :D

I have to also do 80 pushups today because I got behind :( Though I do them against the counter because I couldn't do that many on the floor.

2 years.

I'm very seriously considering learning to play the violin after I finish piano. Before I was considering the harp, but violin just seems so appealing! :D

@Bethany Frisk- I want to try 10 min. of toe-touches :-)

All- I'll be back in ten min. (maybe) :)

I played the violin for about 2 years but then I stopped. I might start again sometime soon. Right now though I am focusing on getting better on the piano.

Warning: If you do then be prepared to lie down and rest afterwards!!! How are you?

My mom said I could only do one instrument. But I still teach myself some piano.

Okay, I feel really dumb here… I do ballet and I can barely touch my toes! I'm not flexible at all.

You girls should really consider learning violin! It's much harder than piano, but it is worth it. :)

I was doing a push-up challenge last year, but then my back got really tight (I don't think it was push-up related) and I started having some problems, so I had to stop.

I am SO inflexible. I'll be checking in every 5 minutes or so now, I got to get on with school.

I can do a "butterfly"(sitting with the soles of your feet touching, like crossing your legs with out them crossing), and touch my forehead to my toes, and push my knees all the way to the floor!

Me too.

@Bethany: Don't feel bad I can't really touch my toes either though I am flexible. When I was younger I could do the splits. And if I practiced a bit I could start do them again…

I have made a priority to stretch more…..

I'm really tight by nature, so I kind of gave up on trying to be flexible (like doing the splits and such).

Okay, this is something not everyone can do… I can hyperextend one of my arms while keeping the other straight. ;) It looks really creepy. :P

What? You mean extend it all the way forward or back without the other one moving? I can do that!

Neat…you'll have to show me at nationals if we both go ;-)

Bye. I'll be back in a few minutes. I'm asking my mom for help with my math now. Or one of you could help me with it!!!

No, I mean pull your elbow up and around with keeping your palm facing down. Maybe I should get a picture here…

Okay I'm done! I actually feel perfectly fine, though my stomach feels a little funny :-) But after the first 5 minutes, I got really bored doing the same thing over and over again, and my hair was in my face practically the whole time. :-) I used to do ballet, and although I'm not nearly as flexible as I used to be, I still have kept a lot of it (I used to be able to put my hands flat on the ground without bending my knees!). Well, I really need to go - help prepare to leave, and fix my hair! :D See you all!

What math do you do?

Bethany wants me to tell you that she is working on her letter to you.

Horizons. I totally HATE math.

LOL! Very funny. :D

Bye!!!

Okay, here's a picture from a while ago… I can do it even better now. :P

Give honor to whom honor is due… BET!!!! I TOOK THAT PICTURE!

tries to suppress a scream

I thought Eden did. In fact I know Eden did.

Okay…I use Saxon

Carissa, what kinds of push-ups do you do? (regular, modified, military, incline, or decline)

NOOOOOOOOOOO! It was me! I guarantee it!

It is a regular pushup except that we do it against the counters…not the floor. I can't do i against the floor so I do it against the counter and I am starting to build up to the floor. I don't know what those other pushups are.

Ian… ever done dive-bomb pushups? Those are nuts!

What are those?

Okay. Those are incline push-ups.

Jordan- No I have never done one of those before. How do you do them?

I really can't do them… Google them and you can find vids…

Alright. I am hoping to be able to start doing regular pushups soon.

Off to do 5 minutes of jumping jacks and 80 pushups…I might be back shortly :D

My friend uses that.I used teaching textbooks last year.

I do NOT like saxon

@Rosie: When I did 5 minutes of jumping jacks and besides my legs feeling like noodles it wasn't to bad.

I'm going to do that once my school is done. What did you do for school today?

Well…not much. I did watch a history film :D I did do some math and history. For history I read about Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan. Math…well, it was just math.

What did you do?

Those look hard!

Yes, they do…

Hi again!! I'm almost done with math!!! What are y'll doing tomorrow?

LOL! I hope I didn't scare you too much. ;) I did give a warning by saying it looked creepy. :D
