Running For My Life

Today was a super amazing day. I got out of school early because of parent teacher conferences. After lunch we went outside, played, then we went home. Before I left, I went to the book fair. I bought the rest of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series. When I was walking home, I got chased by some girls who came to see the show yesterday. I had to run really fast to get home. Luckily, I live right down the street from my school. I banged on my door and ran in the house as soon as my mom opened the door. She asked me what's wrong and I told her what happened while totally out of breath. That was crazy. I started reading the second book of the series at home then I kept reading on the train. Then I was interrupted by a lady who recognized me. Her name was Deneen. She was so excited to meet me. She asked for my autograph and my mom took a picture of us on Deneen's camera phone. She said that her sister was going to be jealous. I felt like a star. When we got in the city, I bought some sunglasses. My mom said I looked incognito. The glasses only cost me $5.00 and I love them. I wore them all the way to the theatre. At the theatre, we were collecting money for a cast member who has Leukemia. I hope we raise a lot of money.

I Went to Broadway Kids Care

Today was a terrific day. First of all, my school came today. The Pre-K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th graders came to see me. I was so excited. When I got on stage, I had so much energy. Then between shows Joshua, Khail, Shereen and I went to a group place called BKC. That stands for Broadway Kids Care. I had tons of fun there. We are rehearsing to perform in the Tribeca Film Festival this Saturday. We are singing I'm a Believer, Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better, and Do Re Mi. Then we had pizza. Shereen told me they have pizza everyday. The second show went fast and it was great. Tomorrow all of the teachers want me to autograph the students' playbills so I'll be very busy at school in the morning. TTYL

NJ Ask Here I Come

Today was an easy day. At school, we went over everything we learned in the whole year because we are starting NJ ASK testing. We also did four poems. I finished and typed my poems and they are really funny. My gymnastics class was great. After gymnastics, I went to my sister's Student of the Month ceremony. Then I went to get my hair cut. The barbershop was closed so I couldn't get my hair cut. Today was great. TTYL

Meeting Matt Damon

Today was amazing. I was late to the theatre. The train broke down at Princeton Junction. So we had to get on another train which was one hour late because of all the people who had to get on at Princeton Junction. I made it to the theatre in time to get dressed and be ready for showtime. My day went from bad to great because I found out that Matt Damon was in the audience. I was so excited. After the show, I took a picture and shook hands with him. I made sure I gave a great performance just in case he was scouting. I had a big day. TTYL

Sad Beginnings Make Happy Endings

Today was a weird day. It started with a very early rehearsal. Khail and I were in a put-in. Afterwards, we watched the second act with our moms in the back of the theatre. My principal called my mom and said that my school was coming again on this Wednesday. This time 200 students are coming. When rehearsal was over, we went to Toys R Us, but it wasn't a pleasant visit. We were told that one of our cast mates was very sick and would be out for a while. Khail and I wanted to buy a gift for her. We picked out something very nice. The gift is from Joshua, Khail and me. At the second show, everybody was so sad, but the show must go on. When we left the theatre, we got on the train. Then everyone from the hockey game got on the train in Newark. The guy that sat behind us said that his son called 911 because he learned it in school today and the police came to his house. My mom and I thought that was so funny. We laughed so hard! So what started out as a sad trip home ended up being very funny. TTYL

I Love to Laugh

Today was wonderful day. Between shows, my mom and I went to see Death at a Funeral. That movie was so funny. I was laughing really hard. My favorite part was when the man was naked on the roof. Then I found out that the movie was a remake of a british comedy version. Joshua, Khail, myself and our parents went to Ruby Tuesdays between shows. That was very nice. At the second show, we celebrated Enrique's birthday. Enrique plays Ed in the show. He said he turned 23 for the 20th time. I thought that was really funny. Today was great. TTYL

I'm Still A Winner

Today was a wonderful day. I found out that I didn't win the essay contest, but I felt good because I knew that I did my very best. In school, we caught up on everything that needed to be done this month. Then we played kickball in gym. The boys won 10 to 2. I was very happy. I only got out once. After school my mom, sister, and I went to get paint for our kitchen. We got a paint swatch and brought it home for my dad. Before I went to the theatre, my mom and I went to K-Mart and got me a digital camera so I could take pictures backstage. The colors of my camera is red and black. At the theatre, I watched Big Momma's House 2 and cleaned out my drawer. Now my draw in spic and span. TTYL

The Best Train Ride Ever

Today was my first time performing on a Sunday in a long time. It felt very different plus I won't get home as early as I usually do. Niki wasn't here today but Jessica was here. Niki was making 400 cakeballs for a Bah Mitzvah and she is also making cakeballs for Mothers Day. Her cakeballs are really good. I ate lots of airheads backstage. I couldn't help it. Lucki,ly they didn't stain my tongue. The show went great. On the train home, the lights kept going off. I love it when the train is dark. I said that the train ride was the best ever. TTYL

Seeing Shereen Again

Today was great. I didn't have the matinee so I got to leave early with my dad. My dad and I went to Toys R Us. I got a travel case for my DSi XL. Then we went to McDonalds and ate. After that I waited in the lobby until it was time for my call. Before the show started, Shereen came and visited us. I was really happy to see her. The show went great. After the show, I took picture with people in the audience. TTYL

I Pays To Do Well in School

Today was great. I finally finished my essay on global warming. I emailed it to my teacher and now I'm waiting to hear if I won or not. I also found out that I received several awards in school, but I got to school after the ceremony was over. They were citizenship, honor roll for the 1st marking period, and honor roll for the 2nd marking period. I was really happy because in addition to the certificates, I was given gift certificates to McDonalds and two movie cards. I had rehearsal today. The rehearsal lasted two hours. I haven't had rehearsal in a long time so it was hard work. On the break, I went on Study Island and did work. Then I played around with Joshua and Khail. Marquis came to see us today. He was happy to see us. The second show was great. TTYL

Introducing Khail and Joshua- The New Cubs

Today was an amazing day. I am entering an essay contest. The topic of the essay is "Global Warming". My essay is coming along really well. I didn't have the matinee so I went to go see "Diary of a Wimpy Kid:The Movie". I read the book already. The movie was closley based on the book. So I pretty much new the whole storyline. Between shows the new cubs, Joshua and Khail, and I hung out in the lobby. We ran, flipped, danced and had a good time. The second show was my first performance with Khail. Niki, my wrangler, said that we looked like we performed together before. She said it was perfect. I had a lot of fun. Today was a really fun day. TTYL

Opening Night For the New Cubs

Today was a great day. I got my hair cut after school. It looks really nice now. On the train, I slept so hard that I forgot all about the new cubs' opening night. My mom reminded me while we were getting off of the train. I screamed and ran into the nearest store I saw. I bought the boy a watch and the girl a necklace. They loved their gifts. I had anchovie pizza today. It was really good. I had a root beer with my pizza. I figured out that root beer is my favorite soda. TTYL

Happy Trails to Shereen and Marquis

Yesterday and today were big days. The days were important because they were Marquis's and Shereen's last two days in the show. Yesterday, we all cried because we were going to miss each other. My mom and Shereen have become so attached to each other. Both of them were crying alot and I was too. Shereen's dad promised that we would all see each other again. I'm counting on that. Today, Shereen and I watched the whole first act from the audience. We had lots of fun. The show looked totally different than on stage. All the effects looked totally awesome. The sound was great too. We had a "Happy Trails" celebration for them. We had red velvet cake. The cake was good and I had a great time. Happy Trails to Shereen and Marquis. TTYL

From the New DSI to the New Cubs

Yesterday I got the new DSI-XL. It is way cool. You can do so many things on it and the screen is much larger. My dad and I went to buy it after I finished my gymnastics class. Today was so much fun. We spent almost the whole day with the new cubs. First Shannon and I rehearsed with the new cubs. We ran through the whole show. Then we made changes to both of our shows. Most of the changes were in the elephant graveyard. After the rehearsal, my mom and I went to a restaurant. I had chicken finger and fries. My mom had what she called the best tuna salad sandwich ever. The food was reallly good. At the theatre, the new young simba tracked backstage with me again. It was really cool to hang out with him.

Reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Today was a great day. I had no school because I am on spring break. I slept until 12:00pm. Then I played video games. After I finished the games, I went over my grandma's house to help clean. I cleaned for 30 minutes then I rode my scooter outside with my friends. Before I left to get on the train, my family and I watched old video tapes that my grandma had. It was so funny looking back on old times. In all of the videos, I hadn't been born yet. In some of the videos, my mom was pregnant with me. My mom bought "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" for me on her Kindle. So I read that on the train. I fell asleep while I was reading. When I woke up, I saw that I was reading the chapter about the poppies. That was really funny. The show went great and I can't wait to get home. On the train, there were three guys who were very funny. My mom was laughing so hard that she was crying. Everytime she tried to calm down, she would crack up laughing again. That made the train ride home fun and fast. TTYL
