My whole life has revolved around dance. It's something I have done for almost my whole life. When I was making my bucket list I realized that a lot of the things that I wanted to accomplish with dance iv already done. So I had to think about other stuff that I really wanted to do. I really enjoy music and there's a lot of music festivals I wanted to go to. Growing up my parents always taught me to appreciate music and to listen to good music. That's a huge reason for wanting to see all these bands and especially Mumford and sons. I have seen a recorded live concert of them and it was amazing so I would actually like to see them live. A lot of the other stuff on my list is traveling places. My parents always have taken us places so I want to experience them on my own or with someone that loves to travel as much as I do. To be honest I don't think that it's a very hard list to complete. All it would take is time, money, hard work and a little bit of luck. But there's nothing on my list that I can't do. Except maybe see the  bombers won a grey cup because that might never happen.

I really enjoy the project were doing on creative writing right now. I like the list part of it and the creative component. I just think it's really hard to do everything at once because all the teachers are freaking out because it's almost exam time.

The Day Everything Went Wrong

I looked in the mirror and all I saw was gorgeous. A brunette haired goddess, not a hair out of place, with the perfect amount of make up and a  purple ombré coloured dress to contrast my slightly tanned skin. Today was going to be perfect. More then perfect even, it was going to be the best day of my life. Today I was graduating from high school. After 12 years of paper cuts from textbooks, loud hallways and staying up until you get that pain in your stomach just to finish a project I was done. I could here my parents calling me from downstairs, yelling me it was time to go. I walked carefully down the stairs careful not to trip over the long dress I was wearing. My dog jazz ran dashed passed me and I was careful to step out of the way In time.

"Wow," my boyfriend Sam said "you look amazing Annabella."

"Thanks," I replied smiling at him.

 We had already had our ceremony earlier this morning. Thanks to the amount of time it had taken to get back to my house and for me to get ready neither of us had eaten and we were both starving. Sam held out his arm for me and walked me to his car outside. Just as I was about to get in the car my mom yelled at me.

"Wait, take a picture before you go!"

Sam and I turned around. He put his arm around my wait but it seemed slightly awkward. His smile seemed forced and everything seemed weird for a moment. I let my mind go blank waiting for my mom to take the picture. All I could here was the sound of our neighbourhood, some birds and a far off lawnmower. I heard the flash go off. It was like in that moment everything had paused only to be started again by the camera taking a picture. I got in the car and we drove to the dinner. It was a slow quiet ride. I thought about Sam's forced smile and how things had been weirded lately. We hadn't seen each other outside of school in weeks and whenever we did it seemed like he was always annoyed with me or bored. He parked the car and turned to me.

"So," he said looking at me "are you ready for this or what?"

"Ya let's go," I replied

 

We walked in and went to our table. The guys talked to each other about whatever guys talk about. The girls fawned over the other girls dresses and talked about who was already drunk. I wished my best friend Courtney was sat at our table but she was all the way across the room sitting with her boyfriend, she looked like she was having a great time. So I got to sit with girls I only tolerated and that I only liked a bit. Then there was Megan who was sat across the table from me. I couldn't stand her she was always so mean to everyone. I could hear her rambling about something so I just tuned her out.The food was good but not as good as the stuff I was used to having. I was a vegetarian and these vegetarian meatballs did not even compare to my moms. The dinner dragged on and Sam and I didn't speak to each other once. When it was time to go I quickly went into the bathroom to change into a short pink dress. I looked into the mirror again looking at how the dress perfectly went with my brown hair. I walked out to the car where Sam was already waiting for me with a weird look on his face. I got into the car.

"Annabella I think we need to talk," he said quietly, his eyes on the stering wheel. 

"If it's about how great I look we can talk about it when we get there, so let's go go go!" 

"No," Sam said looking at me "it's about us. It's about the fact that I don't really have that spark with you anymore. I'm bored of us. I think maybe we should take a break over the summer, see other people and find out who we are. Then in fall we can see if we are going to work. It's not you its me, it feels like I don't know who I am when I am with you. I'm sorry."

I looked at him, tears starting to form in my eyes.

"Just drive me to party."

"Ok," he replied quietly.

The ride to the party was uncomfortably quiet. I was doing my best not to cry but It was hard. That's  three years of my life I wasted with him.  Three years of my life I would never get back. We got to the party and I booked it out of his car. I could her Sam behind me calling my name, calling for me to come back. I walked into the house and threw back 10 shots of a bitter tasting liquid and that was all I remember.

There are 60 days of summer. Day 1- 30, sleeping in my bed all day with the covers pulled up above my head and curtains shut and leaving my room once a day to stock up on food. I didn't even have to leave it to use the bathroom because I had one in my room. During those 30 days anytime my parents dared approach my door as they would get the full yelling treatment from me. Day 30- 56. Sitting in my bed watching sad movies and eating ice cream. I know it's cliche but it's what I wanted to do. On day 58 my mom came into my room and sat on my bed well I watched the notebook for the 8 millionth time. 

"Annabella," she said " I know your upset about Sam but you have two  days of summer left. I already went out and bought you your textbooks for university's so you don't have to do that. You made your time table already so your all set for university. Why don't you go up to the cabin with Courtney. You know Courtney right? I'm only talking about your best friend that's been calling twice a day everyday since summer started." 

I groaned. I thought about the lake. How much I missed my room at the cabin, how much fun I had swimming with my friends and the great parties that happened at the cabin down the road. Then I thought about my comfy bed and ice cream.

"Fine il go."

"Great," my mom smiled " I already told Courtney you would go she's going to be here at 7am tomorrow. So go get packed." 

She dashed out of the room before I could object. I was just starting to return to doing nothing when she ran back in with a white plate of salad

"Here," she said "it's vegetarian Caesar salad from your favourite restaurant. And don't pack later, pack now or your going to forget something."

She ran out of the room again. I grabbed my duffel bag from  under my bag and threw in shorts yank tops and bathing suit getting ready for the lake. I thought about all the trips we had been on together. Courtney and I had gone to Cuba together, Disney and even banff. My favourite had always been Disney though. Our families had gone down together and we had spent the whole trip together, awing at the beautiful flowers, swimming, and just being kids at Disney. 

At 7 on the dot the next day I heard a car horn honk and my best friend yelling at me.

"Get out here right now Annabella because we are going to the beach!"

My mom was waiting at the door for me with another salad. After eating one yesterday I had forgotten how much I liked salads. They were the easiest thing for a vegetarian to make and eat. I peaked into the container. It looked delicious. I slowly walked out and put my bag in the trunk of her car. I saw tons of food in there along with her bag.

" Are you ready to go? Because I'm so ready for this!"

I looked at her still tired from getting basically no sleep. 

"Yep ," I said "I'm ready."

The drive took 2 hours she cranked the music. I tried to close my ears and tried to drown out Miley Cyrus. Finally she spoke

"So I saw Sam the other day."

"Really," I responded pretending not to care.

"Ya," she said "he seemed really out of it. He looked almost sad."

"Good. That means he's as destroyed as me."

I put my sunglasses on and settled in for the ride ready to began my life over again.

Things to do in order to live a more cluttered life.

I think that there are a couple things you need to take chances on in irder to live a fuller like

Traveling

I think every one should travel. I allows you to experience life in different ways and by travelling you are exposed to many different cultures. There is so many things you gain from travelling and I think it helps you to be a different person and you also get to live a fuller life. So if you have the opportunity to travel you should.

Trying different food

Sometimes you need to try different kinds of food. There may be things you think would be gross but are actually gross. My brother used to think calamari (deep fried squid) was groos but he know realizes he loves it. There are lots of restaurants that have different foods that allow you to experience culture.to me learning about other culture is very important. Or if your just looking for a good place to eat you should check out dinners drive ins and drives.

Folklarama 

If you live in winnipeg and in the summer your looking for something to do in the summer I suggest going to see folklarama. It is a wonderful experience. You get to taste many different cultural foods and see different dancesacnd songs that represent certain country's. I think it is something that can really change your life.

All these things help to live you a more cultured life because they expose you to many different things.

David's tea

I really enjoy tea. I have a mug of tea everyday . I think it makes me feel refreshed and give me energy in the morning. Also our school is so cold that I need something to warm me up. I only really drink tea from David's tea like forever nuts, birthday cake, Kokomo green and sleigh ride. I really like herbal teas because you can steep them forever and they get really flavourful. I also like the way green teas taste especially kiwis big adventure. I think tea is something that everyone should love because it's a lot healthier then coffee and most people don't realize that tea is now flavoured differently.

Mumford and sons

I really like the band Mumford and sons I think that they have a lot of really good music. The other day is was watching a recorded concert of them at the red rocks theatre in Colorado and they sounded really good live. I would really like to see them one day live. I think that their first album is really goodi like winter winds a lot as well as dust bowl dance. I like a lot of songs off their 2nd album as well like lover of the light, lovers eyes and below my feet. Those are some of my favourite. I also like another soong that they preform live but do not have recorded it is called learn me right and they sang it with birdy for the brave sound track and as much as I like birdy I feel like the song is better with just them. I thnk that their music style is very different and I really enjoy listening to them.

Blackfish

As I have mentioned before something I am very passionate is animal cruelty. This is a perfect example about animal cruelty and I think everyone should watch it.

One of the new documentaries coming out is called blackfish. Blackfish is about a whale called Tilikum who was kept at sea world and ate a trainer one day. This movie talks about how keeping animals in things like amusement parks can make them go crazy. In the trailer a new reporter makes a statement saying "if you were kept in a bathtub for 25 years would you go crazy?" I think this documentary should be a just see because it will open peoples mind to the consequences of keeping animals like that add animal cruelty. Because of this documentary coming out a lot of people have been boycotting sea world. Here is the link for the trailer or you can look up blackfish trailer.

Dance moms

Dance moms is a new favourite show of mine. It is extremely drama filled and very entertaining. At the start of the show there was 4 moms and 6 kids. The dance teacher is also really mean to both the moms and the kids. She has this pyramid where the best dancer gets to be on top of the pyramid and the other dances fill out of the rest of the pyramid. The one girl that is always on top is maddie she is considered the best dancer on the show and all the moms think Abby the dance teacher favours maddie. While watching the show the I realized there are a lot of times where Abby is wrong but there is also Times where the moms are wrong.

Christmas holidays

During the Christmas holidays, I didn't do all that much. It was fun because I got to rest a lot which is nice and i don't normally get the chance to really rest and do nothing. I watched a lot of gossip it really intense because Blair just married a prince and she doesn't like him now and is trying to get a divorce but if she does she has to pays dowry. The whole show is really crazy and very drama filled. I really enjoy it. The other show I have started watching is dance moms which is also very good. I think Christmas holidays should have been longer. The other thing that kind of sucked was I had to work both Christmas and New Year's Day for 8 hours on each.
