Bookcon Is Awesome!!!! : )

     My family and I just got back on Monday from New York! We went to the top of the Empire State Building and saw the Chrysler Building, the Statue of Liberty,and Central Park. Afterwards we went to Macy's and walked around Times Square. 

      We were there for Bookcon. Bookcon is a part of BEA, opened to public for the first time last year and we went and I got to see Rick Riordon, Lemony Snicket, Carl Hiaasen, and Veronica Roth. This year I got to see Ridley Pearson (I love his books), Judy Blume (my mom loves her books) , Jeff Smith (because of my brother), James Dashner (he was with Ridley Pearson), and Felicia Day (because of my parents). I was so happy when Ridley Pearson did an impromptu book signing. My brother got an autographed book by his idol, Grumpy Cat. 

               I can't wait for Bookcon next year!!!!

                      P.S. Click Grumpy Cat's picture for a surprise!!!!

French Culler!!!!

              I just got a French cruller and it was delicious. The outside was crunchy, kind of like a pastry shell, and the inside was light and buttery. It was delicious. I also like French apple, chocolate glazed,chocolate frosted, Boston cream, coffee rolls, and Oreo cheesecake.

Spring Into Spring!!!!

      Spring is here!!!! Most of the snow is gone and it's kinda muddy but, I just got NEW sneakers,  ballet flats without an inside wall, and rain boots!!!! It's been warm and cold this past week but hopefully it will get warmer soon.  I am going to be packing up dishes over spring break, seeing my cousins,practicing pointe, and hopefully doing something fun.
Happy Spring!!!!

       Today I made Raspberry Squares!!!! I ran out of the jelly in my second batch so I used Black Raspberry. It looks like they turned out pretty good for my first time making them.

ctrl-alt-arrow key ><((((o*>

    If you press control alt arrow key (down, left, right, up (not at the same time)) your computer screen will turn in that direction. It will turn black first though. I love doing this. I discovered it last year when I was messing on my computer. So I thought it would be fun to share it with whoever is reading this.

    Quick side note. If you scroll to the bottom of the page you will find fish. Click on the background of the fish anywhere to feed them.

        I have to leave early from dance to go to the team dinner so I need to bring a change of clothes and wait an hour to do twenty-five minutes of dance but I don't really care because I love dance!!!!

Potato Expirement!!!!

    Today me and my brother did a potato experiment. 

1.  In order to do this experiment you take three thin one-inch square of skinned potato and put them in three shallow bowls and label the bowls A, B, and C. 
2.  Then take three more bowls and put a half of cup of water in each and label them again as A, B, and C.
3.  In bowl A add two Tablespoons of sugar and mix with the water in the bowl WITHOUT the potato.
4.  In bowl B add two teaspoons of salt and mix with the water in the bowl WITHOUT the potato.
5.  Leave bowl C the same.
6.  Add the sugar-water solution from bowl A to just barely cover potato A.
7.  Add the salt-water solution from bowl B to just barely cover potato B.
8.  Add the plain water solution from bowl C to just barely cover potato C.
9.  Let sit for a thirty minutes.

My results were  potato A and C got bigger potato B got smaller.

Latin Class ~)))'>

      Today I had Latin class and we went over third declension adjectives. Between first, second, and third termination along with vocabulary, it can get confusing. My favorite Latin word is either Dea, Deae: Goddess, or pupa, pupae: doll.

       Here are some Latin words you can confuse people with....
  

•        Salve : Hello
•        Salvete : Hello (2 or more people)
•         Vale : Goodbye
•        Valete : Goodbye (2 or more people)

My First Blog Ever!!!!

       Hi my name is Sabrina, and this is my first ever post on my new blog. I am very happy and excited about this.

       I have ballet class tonight and I have just gotten some new ballet slippers that need breaking in. My normal class routine goes like this: we start on bar, then we do some combinations, jumps, and splits. This year I am hoping to get on pointe. I have been working very hard to get on pointe all year. I just found out that my  teacher wants me on pointe also.

        My brother, Ricky Bobby just got a blog to and I am posting a link to his blog, called Dot-Dot-Dot.
