Hey Yal’l

    Circus arts this trimester was wondieful!!! I learned how to actually use a diabolo, spin it, pass it, and bounce it to another person/pass the diabolo. I also remembered how to spin a plate and keep it going, catch it after tossing it up in the air, and also I remembered how to throw and receive a plate when passing to another. I also learned how to juggle with a partner, (Liza), and by myself. So, overall circus arts was pretty good, better than last year. But, I really would like to tell Mr. Gratton that he needs new music, that stuff is totally out dated!

I’ve had some emotional times with plate spinning. I’ve gotten the plate up and spinning 50% of the time but the times that I don’t get it up, I get the plate to stay on the stick which is really awkward but hey, I don’t have to pick it up all the time or something.  Have any tips?

Hey people-

    It’s me, just telling you that I, Desirae, have officially tried devil sticks! I’m not very successful at them but I’m definitely a beginner. They are really interesting to do, they are really hard for me to actually “get going”.

Well, that’s all for now!

Liza Mackey and I invented a new, cool, game called “handsack.” How you play is that you hike hacky sack,  and start hitting the haky sack back and forth until it hits the floor. You’re suppose to be counting your hits, (you need a partner to do this obviously,) then eventually you gather more hacky sacks and get better and better.

This week, Brielle, Liza, and I all did this really cool thing with our diabolos! I got it going, passed it to Brielle, then liza cought it and controlled it. The whole thing was really cool and successful!

Hey yall,

    A realistic goal that I’d want to set for myself would be to be able to pass the diabolo to another person, (in this case, usually Bre). I really like passing diabolo’s, it’s actually really fun to do because usually, when I try and succeed with bre, we get laughing so hard we have to “take a break.” It’s actually quite funny!

See ya!

Today, we started blogging, it wasn’t all that fun but it was funny blowing on my screan and then it’d all of a sudden “click” like, go faster or speed up… It was cool!

Okay so now the real thing….

What Have I tried?

I’ve tried plate spinning, I’m pretty successful about that, I usually get it about 5 out of 10 times so about 50% of the time I get the plate to spin properly.

What am I successful at?

I’m successful at partner juggling. I started juggling with my cool friend Liza. We started out with four balls, we’re now at six balls and can juggle them quite smoothly.
