Wow, I can't believe I'm actually writing this! It's not like I'm not used to using a computer or anything. I guess I'm just shy about sharing my thoughts or something. This year's been pretty busy for me. I guess because I grew so much, the ballroom dancing teacher's making me lead exclusively. It's really weird to be on the other side of a dancing couple.. um.. pair. But it does let me see how all those steps I learned for following fit in!

Everybody knows about the earthquake we had recently, right? I was studying at the time, but I managed to not get hurt that badly. Just a broken finger, that's all. It was probably the scariest thing I've ever been through. Everything shaking, everyone screaming and crying, and part of our school destroyed.. it still doesn't seem real. All I remember is getting up when it ended and helping some other girls get out of the school. Since then I've been trying to help however I can; I can only hope that what little I can offer will help my schoolmates. If you need someone to talk to, I'd be happy to take the time to listen!

In better news I think I've made a couple of friends from another school this year! It's been great to meet you all! Just don't feel too bad when Miator wins in competitions. Well, got to get some beauty sleep before tomorrow, so my other thoughts will have to wait!
