Sink or float

I am good at SWIMMING not FLOATING. Here's an example of my aquatic abilities:

Me swimming

Me attempting to float (with some help from a friend)

I am as graceful as pig when it comes to floating, but as graceful as a duck while swimming. (Everyone is as graceful as a swan though). :-)

I am starting to learn how to speak Mandarin. Mandarin is a type of Chinese speaking along with many other choices. I can speak a conversation with someone in Mandarin, for example:

Mandarin:
me- Ni hao.
friend- Ni hao.
me- Wo jioa Iyana.
friend- Tai hao le.
me- Xia shang!
friend- Xie xie.
me- Bu ke oi.
friend- Zai jian!
me- Zai jian!

English:
me- Hello.
friend-Hello.
me- My name is Iyana.
friend- Wonderful.
me- Good Afternoon!
friend- Thank you.
me- You welcome.
friend- Goodbye!
me- Goodbye!

I think most people should learn another language or two, because who knows, you might run into a forienger and be able to have a nice conversation with them! And it's a great way to pass time during the summer!

Coujo & Lola!

Lola is the little brown chihuahua & Coujo is the bigger long haired chihuahua.

We gave Lola away to my dad's friend, but the good thing is that she comes back occasionaly to see us!

Since Lola is staying for only one night, My sister and I are throwing them a mother + Daughter slumber party! It's good to spend quality time with your family (dogs as well)!

Sigh

It's summer and school's out. I guess I should be happy that there is no more school, but i'm just saying. I'm not really enjoying the fact I won't see my friends, my old 4th grade teacher anymore (laid off), and have nothing to do. I tried to have a good time at my summer slumber party with Sara, Desiree, and Judy, but my illness messed up the whole night! Judy was sick as well. I am having so many mixed emotioms, it's hard to explain. Sigh. Well I got to go now. Have a great summer and stuff. Bye.

It's time

Today me and my friends graduated from 5th graders to 6th graders!!! I still can't believe it.
Although this year there are many changes such as:

-More kids in each class (pink slips)
-Different bus schedules
-The teacher I had this year will be principle
-And lots more work than usual

It's tough being a 5th grader, but just imagine being a 6th grader! Whoa. I got to go now. My head is hurting and the room is spinning. I'm out.

Paranoid

I know this may be stupid to some people, (Eric & Sara) but I just love the Jonas Brothers new song "Paranoid". And I saw their new show on disney channel "Jonas". It was good, but a little "you- tubeish".
lol. Well got to go now to my Nintendo ds party that we are having in my classroom! (Sara if your going to comment, please don't let it be depressing).

Swimming!

Thanks to my friend Sara, today at the pool, she taught me how to swim! Although I got loads of water in places I couldn't even imagine. There was good news for my succesion and bad news for it. The good news is, I can swim. The bad news is that when my hair gets wet, it can cause FRIZZY-OVERLOAD. I can't do backstrokes or float in water, but i'm cool with the just knowing how to swim and not being made fun of it anymore. Hooray!

P.S- As I was typing this post, I got water all over the keyboard from trying to get water out of my ear lol.

Meat a.k.a Brisket

I enjoy chicken, ribs, turkey, ham, and hamburgers, but since yesterday at the Memorial Day barbecue at my house, my only one and favorite meat was brisket. Brisket is a tough, but juicy kind of meat depending on how you prepare it. It took 5 hours to cook the brisket at the party, but it was worth waiting!
