I Want To Go To...

Australia!!!

To visit Uluru...

This rock is a sandstone formation in central Austrailia. It is called Uluru by the aboriginal people the Pitjantatjara. It is a sacred place of Aboriginal creation mythology and walking on top of it is offensive to the aboriginal people. Ayer's Rock is unique because it appears to change color during different times of the day and year as the light hits it differently, especially at sunset when it glows red.

... to experience the best snorekeling in the world at the Great Barier Reef... is the largest reef in the world.

It is made up of 2,900 smaller reefs and 900 islands. It runs for 1,600 miles in the Coral Sea off the coast of Queensland Australia. It is the largest structure made by living organisms and can be seen from outer space. The snorkeling is world class. It has 30 species of dolphin/whales/and porpoises, 6 species of sea turtles, 15 species of seagrass, 125 species of sharks/stingrays/chimeara, 5000 species of mollusc, 400 coral species, and 1,500 species of fish.

... the see Australia's marsupials the Koalas and Kangaroos...

They are on protected habitats, but you can see them on Koala refuges and in parks which are wilderness preserves of their natural habitat.

...to see a choral performance in the Sydney Opera House...

The Sydney Opera house is a perfoming arts center designed by Danish designer Jorn Utzon. Presentations include operas, ochestral and choral concerts, meetings, lectures, ballets, and other performances. It house 1,500 performances a year attended by 1.2 million people.

I'M READY TO GO!!!

reflection 5/8

School's wrapping up and it's only getting crazier! It's easy to stress and it's hard not to. There are so many projects and final assignments to finish up before exams. I auditioned for next year's choirs yesterday. I was verrrry nervous (as was everyone else), but overall I am very content with what I did. I did very well on the cut (especially considering the toll allergies have taken on my voice. Two days before I couldn't even sing). I completely bombed sight-reading. I sang three of twelve notes correctly D: but spoke the rhythms on all the rest. Each note is worth two points, one point for pitch and one point for rhythym so hopefully I got some credit. Despite my horrible sight-reading run through I am very satisfied with how I did and now I'm anxiously waiting for finals week when we get the results back.

Word of the day... I lost my main homework binder which really sucks. I'm hoping it turns up because as the name implies I have some kinda important stuff in there ;) Me and my mommy are leaving for Waco tonight to go up to Waco. We're celebrating mother's day as well as my grandma's birthday. I'm ready for an amazing weekend. I plan on renting Julia & Julia to watch with my mommy and make her day kinda special :]
