Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a nice tropical adventurous place, zip-lining through the forests and see-dooing in the beautiful blue waters. They have many kinda people around, and lots of little huts for stores on the side of the road. They have many festivals, they have rides, stores to buy small souvenir's and bull fighting, which is very intense to watch! There are two parts of Costa Rica, the city part that is a lot like New York and the other is the desert part. In the City part of Costa Rica, there are many people and it is very crowded with lots of stores. In the other half of Costa Rica which is the desert, is mostly blue water, dark green trees. Costa Rica is filled with lots of resorts, the Occidental Grand Papagayo, Occidental Allegro, Paradisus Playa Conchal & lots more!

Vacation

Vacations are a blast because you can skip school or go somwhere warm when it is cold where you are or vice verca. when you are there is a whole different world to experience. Somtimes the food is very different and the culture sometimes sems strange to us. I have been to disneyland 6 times but have never been to Hawaii but hope to go in grade 9 or 10.

Lyrical

Lyrical is a dance type that combines elements of modern and ballet dance techniques. The music varies between instrumental and pieces with just vocals. The name lyrical comes from the word "Lyrics" because dancers use the lyrics of a song to help them think of emotion and moves for the dance. The goal of a lyrical dance is to use gesture and facial expression. Besides using emotion Lyrical dance typicially encourages the movement of weight and line. After you have gone to dance classes, in this case Lyrical class for 1 year theirs a year end recital. A recital is when all of the dance types, and classes all get together and give a huge preformance for anyone who wants to come watch. You get to wear all sorts of cool costumes. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in a faster type of ballet or slower type of jazz.

Soccer is for Players

Soccer is one of the more popular sports in the world. People play it all over the world, some people that play in Africa use long sticks for the posts, one big long stick for the cross bar, use twine for the nets. In Italy soccer is a vary popular, people in Italy crave soccer. Soccer is a world wide sport that you only play with your feet. Soccer has been played for many years since the early sixty's and every one can play.

Respect Soccer

Soccer is a very important sport and it is played internationally. Soccer is more popular because in the poorer country's they do not have a lot of money and to play soccer you only need a soccer ball and then you can play. Like some other sports, like hockey you need to have a lot of equipment to play if you want to play in the ice. If you don't want to play on the ice and you just want to play on the road then you still need a hockey ball, a hockey net and a hockey stick. Soccer is also a very fun sport to play.

softball WOOT!

Softball was in invented by George Hancock in Chicago, Illinois in 1887. In the first game they used brooms as bats and for a ball they used a rolled up boxing glove!The playing field is divided into fair territory and foul territory. Fair territory is further divided into the infield, and the outfield, and the territory beyond the outfield fence.Despite the sport's name, softballs are not especially soft.The bat used by the batter is made of metal, wood or composite materials.There are nine or ten players out on the field at one time. The pitcher and catcher have the ball the most, each person has a specific job. In the infield there is the pitcher, catcher, first baseman, second baseman, shortstop, and third baseman. In the outfield there is left fielder, center fielder, and right fielder. In slow pitch softball there is an extra fielder, who is specified as a rover. Normally, the defensive team will play with four outfielders, meaning there is a left fielder, left-center fielder, right-center fielder, and right fielder. Softball should be played more often.

How to: play a guitar (Basics)

Before you start learning chords and jamming out, you need to know the basics.
First of all you need to know the parts of the guitar. At the head of the guitar or the headstock there should be six knobs attached to the six strings. They are the tuning pegs. Right under the head is the nut. There are the frets which are the small metal bars crossing all the way down the neck of the guitar. There are small dots on the third, fifth, seventh, ninth, twelfth, fifteenth, seventeenth, nineteenth, and twenty first frets. They are called the fret markers. Near the end of the body, where the strings feed into is called the tailpiece. Underneath the strings directly above the tailpiece is the bridge and then the pickups. Looking at a right handed guitar, on the right side is the selector switch and the volume and tone controls. Either underneath them or on the bottom of the guitar is the output jack.
You also need to learn about the strings. The strings are very easy to remember once you have a memorizing pattern. They are: E,A,D,G,B,E. One E is the thickest or the lowest sounding string. It is the sixth. A is the fifth string. D is the fourth. G is the third. B is the second. The other E is the thinest or highest sounding string. It's the first. Some memorizing patterns are Eat All Day Get Big Easy or Elephants Are Darn Good Bubblegum Eaters.
Once you get the strings memorized you can learn about the frets. While the strings divide the guitar from left to right, frets divide the guitar into sections from top to bottom. If you look at your guitar from above, you can see that the strings and frets together form a grid that covers the entire neck of the guitar.
In one week I will continue my How To on How to play guitar.

Dance

I just found out something interesting. That unit we did in Social Studies? Yes, it has something to do with the Franks. Actually it has more to do with the language they spoke- Frankish. I am a dancer, and I don't know much about the origins of dance, but I found out that the word 'dance' came from the French word 'danser' , which may have actually come from the Frankish language. I found that out while I was looking for new updates about choregraphy. Isn't it funny how you can find one thing when you're looking for something else?

Travel to the beautiful Mexico

Mexico is a beautiful, scenic place to visit. Its packed with interesting stores and friendly people. If your interested in going to a warm, and safe place place for a family vacation, I would recommend going to the Tulum Resort. It's connected to two other resorts called the Coba and Ackumal Resort, that can be traveled to by golf carts or busses that come by every four minutes. There are many lizards and iguanas that love to relax in the hot sun on the pathways, so if you highly dislike reptiles i suggest going to a different country that isnt so hot.
