Ouch...
So, I have to leave for dance in ten minutes, so this will be fast. But this past week was pretty fun! Friday was Prom, so All of the Seniors and some of the juniors were out (We have a seniors only prom because our class sizes average about 500), so the school was really empty with our few juniors! It was awesome, because it was such a slacking day! Then yesterday, I had dance from 10-6. When I came home, I decided to try a work-out plan that my gymnast friend had posted on Instagram. Granted, I am a very active person, but its more anaerobic activities. After the work-out, (which I didn't even finish) I was pretty exhausted. When I woke up this morning, OH MY GOODNESS my abs and legs are sore! Even driving hurt because surprisingly, you use your abs a lot when you make turns. Anyways, time for me to leave, but just wanted to add in another post! For any readers out there, have a great week!

Fun Weekend!
A bit of a quickie post, but here we go!
This weekend I had the state speech tournament, and Our school's Word's and Music took 1st place! YAYYYYY! That was really exciting.
That night, my ballet company hosted this party and all of the dancers wore their costumes to show them off. I ended up wearing another characters costume (Peacock) because my jewel costume wasn't ready. Well, this made me realize that all of the jewel costumes have bare stomachs.... So Hannah is in a diet mode, because she would really like to have a flat stomach if it's going to be shown off. :)
Yesterday at church, my friend told me he had a present for me. So, after eating lunch at Panera, and after an Ultimate Frisbee game, he brought out of his car an ORIGINAL TITANIC MOVIE POSTER!!!!! He had been yard sale shopping the previous day, and a lady had like 20 of them! Such a good friend. I also decided last night that If I have a son, I am going to name him Caspian. I realized that I just really, really like that name.
Anyways, time to go to dance rehearsal, so Adios Amigos!

Chubby Bunny, Zapping, and Rehearsals Galore
HOLY GUACAMOLE I'm tired.
I just had such a crazy week! I had 7 am rehearsals every day but one Monday-Friday, and rehearsals until 9 pm Monday-Thursday, throw in three tests and homework in the mix, and then Friday I had to get checked out of school a little bit early to rush to church to leave with my improv team to perform at this 'girls self-esteem boosting' conference! (That's not the actual name, but I didn't know if I should share it or not!) A three hour bus ride later, we were there and IMMEDIATELY had to run (literally) to get our mic checks and then performed an improv game. All that last part in the space of 15 minutes.
So, come to find out, this camp has a record book. My improv team director had us all attempt to set the 'chubby bunny' record, in fronth of the whole conference of girls. Now, the previous time I had played this 'game,' my record was about five marshmallows. So I was not sure how well I was going to do. However, I then found out that the three boys who were allowed to come with us (One was the director, two were in one of the skits), had each put money on one of us, and I later found out that two had their money on me, and one had their money on my friend. Of the four of us girls, there were only me and my friend left after the fourth set of marshmallows. So, then came the fifth. And the sixth. And the seventh. And the eighth. And the ninth. Aaand the tenth. By this point, we are pretty darn hysterical looking, with this white foam in our mouths and our failed attempts to say chubby bunny (more like uh-ee nuh-neee). Being a really competitive girl, I was not backing down. We were both shoving these marshmallows into the sides of our mouth like nobodys business. So finally, the fateful eleventh marshmallow. My friend tried a few times to say it, but finally, she just shook her head and spit them into the trash can. Then, my director held the microphone to my mouth, and I managed to say it! So, to see if I could go further, I then was given a twelth marshmallow. I said it with that one too! They gave me a thirteenth marshmallow as well, but by this point my airway was completely blocked off, and no matter how much I pushed them aside, I couldn't get the thirteenth in. Ahh well. I spit them out, and then did NOT have any roasted marshmallows at the camp fire that night. But hey, I set a record.
Then, later that night I discovered this game called Gaga ball. It's incredible. I have no idea how to explain it to you, but if you've played it, you would understand it's amazing-ness.
Later that night in our cabin after my shower, I attempted to plug in my hair dryer, and was shocked by the electrical outlet! That has never happened to me before, and let me tell you, it HURTS! I was ok, but I am now very timid about plugging things in.
In the end, I didn't end up getting to fall asleep until one am. Wake-up call was at 6:30, and off for more performances and singing making fools of myself in various ways. At the end of the conference, my group got to go eat at Red Robin (Yum), and then a three hour car ride later, we arrived home at 11. Went to my friend's house to spend the night, and then up for church at 8:30. Church until 12. Run straight to my dance studio for rehearsal until four. Now, I am back in my humble abode, with my limbs weak and weary from a long, yet exciting week.
I like to think of this past week as preparation for working at Disney World someday, because I have a feeling that it's going to be very hectic, quite like these past few days have been. Except with days off from work.
In other news, last night was the 100 year anniversary for the sinking of the Titanic. I was sad I didn't get to watch a documentary, or even the movie. Ahh well.
I'm going to go watch a movie or something involving laying in bed now.
Have a Magical Day!

Hello All! Wow, this has been an exciting day.
I found out I'm on Senior Cabinet!
I got the registration forms for the best camp on this entire earth!
And I got to perform with my improv team on a travel trip!!!
^this was especially fun, because I love my improv family :) my picture on here is actually my headshot from our team. We play lots of fun acting improv games, one of which that is the most interesting is called mousetraps: where you perform an improv scene on a stage covered in mousetraps. The catch? You are barefoot and blind folded. Always a fun one. :) I got to play three different games tonight, so it was great!
In other news, I now have two followers! Wow, that's amazing!! I've only had a blog for what, four days? Haha well one of them is my dear friend Molly, who is my friend from Disboards! We are one and the same. It's crazy. Hopefully we will find ourselves in the Disney College program together in a few years :) Future roomies bro!
Anyways, I have to be at school an hour and a half early tomorrow, so I think I'll get to sleep. Dance troupe in the A.m!

Happy Easter!
Wow, it has been a fantastic day celebrating the Resurrection of Christ. It began with a wonderful church service, a fabulous Lunch, and egg hunting, movies, and lounging galore! The Easter Bunny was kind enough to bring me the new Footloose, which is fantastic, because I love that movie!
Now I'm sitting in front of the computer overstuffed with food, which even while trying to slim down a bit, is a glorious feeling. Luckily I'm I dancer, or I'd definitely be obese.
So, if you haven't seen this.... you must. now. One Man Disney Movie:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp1BYzIVi0U
This beautiful and gifted man has the most amazing voice. You're jaw will hit the keyboard whole watching.
In other news, I'm in a ballet production of Aladdin. Cool stuff, right? The Plot is really different. I'm a Carpet Seller, (Which despite the boring name, is a pretty good role), a thief (One of two on trial for stealing bread; me and the other guy look like twins, it's hysterical!) and the Soloist Sapphire Jewel. Aladdin is actually my fifth Disney story ballet I've been in.
12 years old: Cinderella! I was a Dressmaker. Pretty fancy stuff there.
13 years old: Sleeping Beauty! I was the Nursemaid, and a Nymph in the forest.
14 years old: Was actually a ballet called Coppelia: Not a Disney story.
15 years old: PETER PAN! My favorite by far. I was a Mermaid, and a Pirate Wench, which was awesome because I was on stage pretty much the whole show!
16 years old: Alice in Wonderland! I was the Lory Bird, a Wildflower, and one of the lead Spade cards.
And now I'm 17. My, time sure does fly by.
My brother is now begging to use the computer, so I think I'll go ahead and let him on. :)
Hasta Luego!

#16Favourite kiss
Belle and the Beast!

Introduction: This Palindrome Girl
Hello Friends!
I have finally found the time to sit down and make myself a blog. I'm very excited to be blogging, and I hope someone (Maybe you!) Might find my thoughts somewhat worth reading.
First off...
An Introduction!
-My name is Hannah. (Hence the palindrome title) I'm currently 17, and it's not as cool as one might think it is. I mean, it's cool. But not necessarily super duper.
-I LOVE my church. Seriously, I would rather spend all day every day at church than do just about anything else.
-I love all of the opportunities that God has given me in my life. I'm oh so thankful for everything that He allows me to be able to do!
-I'm in a school program called International Baccalaureate. It's super rigorous, pretty much like college, but in High School. Hopefully I can get some college credit from it!
-I am a theatre freak. I absolutely love acting, dancing, and singing. I'm going to major in Musical Theatre in college... Just not quite sure what I'm going to do with it.
-Label me a Disney Freak. I want to live in Disney World, so I can experience the wonder and magic every single day!
-... So it's probably not surprising that I am fully intent on doing the Disney College Program, Fall of 2015. :)
-I am a lot like Belle, with the Brown Hair and eyes, Book-lover-ness and such. But inwardly, I am most like Rapunzel, because I have so many dreams, and I will work my hardest to see them through.
-I have a grand total of six siblings. Four half-siblings (two boys, two girls) that I live with, and a step-sister and half-brother that live in Florida. I'm the oldest of all of them, which is kind of cool!
-I'm a pre-professional ballerina. Every little girls dream! Though I will probably not continue this after high school.
-I'm really tall. 5'8"-5'9", depending on how and when I'm measured.
-I'm going to London for the very first time this summer! SO EXCITED!
Anyways, there's a few things about me that may or may not be worth knowing. I hope that I have not bored you to tears, and that I see you again sometime soon!
