I broke a leg today! Not really, because if I did I probably wouldn't be typing this. My Musical Theatre exam was today; I was so nervous. I had butterflies in my stomach when I was walking through the door. But when I started singing, I was perfect! I hit all of the notes, done all the actions, had really deep emotions, EVERYTHING! I really think I'll pass, if I don't I'll be so unhappy. It'll take 6 weeks to get the results. 6 weeks!!! I can't wait that long!
Next up: Piano Exam! That's on Wednesday. I'm not so nervous for this one, I'm a bit more calm to be performing in front of complete strangers. I wish I was a mind reader to see what they're thinking about me... I wonder what they are thinking about me.

I'm one busy girl!
Not only have I got a Theatre (Lamda) exam tomorrow, but I have a Piano exam next Wednesday! I have a few piano concerts after that as well.
I've discovered a new delicious food: jam tarts! I bake them myself, no help at all! I bake blackcurrant, lemon curd and strawberry flavoured jam tarts. My dad loves them even more than his coconut cakes!
I'm also busy with a Pokémon X/Y (Generation VI) Pokedex book! A pokedex is the book of all the Pokémon!
That's not all;last week when I was meeting my friends in Bedford I got left out.
Taryn, Tilly and Elise told me, William, Freya and Lavinia, to stay away while they talked about sleepovers. Lavinia was crying, so me and Freya hugged her. If you don't know who Freya is, she's Taryn's older sister. Eventually, I just sat alone and Tilly came up to me to see if I was OK. I guess you could say we were all OK after that.
Despite that, I still want to go back to see all my friends again.
A few days ago, my Lincoln friend Lucy came over for a play date! We had a lot of fun with the houses and toys. It's always sad when friends leave, always boring too. I have to clean up the room as well. Lucy always says she'll help me, she never does though.
I've been reading a Michael Morpurgo book, Alone on the Wide Wide Sea. It's an excellent book, I'll do a proper review on it when I'm finished! It's about an orphan boy called Arthur. Arthur was separated from his sister, Kitty, in England, when he was shipped away to Australia. He met a friend on that boat, Marty. Marty protected him when the bullies tried to make Arthur's experience on the sea even worse. When the boys arrived in Australia, they were whipped and made to work for their food. Eventually a boy starved to death and another ran away and came back dead!! Eventually Marty and Arthur made it out; their lives only got worse.
I'll make a bigger review when I'm finished the book. It's a very long book so... give me time.

Guinea Pigs Online: Christmas Quest!
I recently finished the amazing book called Guinea Pigs Online: Christmas Quest! (It's the 3rd book in the Guinea Pigs Online book series!) It was by Jennifer Gray and Amanda Swift and illustrated by Sarah Horne.
The guinea pigs are excited for Christmas! They're so happy to spend the holiday with their owners! But, they all take a trip to Peru to search for the treasure; but the Pigs find themselves searching for the stolen Christmas Coco Bean to save the Peruvian Guinea Pigs from the Condor! If Coco and Fuzzy don't recover the Christmas Coco Bean in time for Christmas Dinner, the Condor will eat all of the Peruvian Guinea Pigs!
The book is 169 pages long, and it has bonus activities in the back including Crosswords, Word Searches and recipes for some delicious food! I'd rate the book a 10/10 - best book so far! Easy to read and long chapters!

National Space Centre!

| We went to the space centre in Leicestershire. There was so much to see! I liked the film show best and going in the lift to the top of a very very tall rocket! |

Pokemon love Conquer Maths!
 |
| This is me doing my Conquer maths with the help of Pokémon! |
Sylveon has been added.
She's the latest Pokémon in the Eevee evolutions.
Sylveon is a beautiful, loving fairy type who becomes very attached to her friends and family.
Every day I do Conquer Maths, a bit of writing, piano practice and sing hard for my LAMDA exams that are coming up; Sylveon can help me out with them, as well!
I am singing 2 songs and I have to learn the words, moves, singer, songwriter (lyricist) and composer! I am singing "When Will My Life Begin" from the movie Tangled and "Part of that World" from The Little Mermaid. That's my mam's favourite song and she's always singing it!
I am practicing hard for my Grade 1 piano too! Also, I have three concerts coming up!

| I made this at Brownies. It's the Brownie Promise. |
 |
| I didn't really do much to get this badge: I made peppermint sweets and a Chistmas Cracker. |
Bourne Brownies is nothing like the Brownies I went to in Bedford. We don't really DO anything.We just play stupid games for 30 minutes then we finally sing a song. We do a little bit of half-hearted work like colouring or bingo and then we leave. I like seeing my friends there but I thought Brownies was meant to be educational and things? I will be moving up to Guides in the Spring and I hope it will be more exciting!
I've also bought some more Pokémon-orientated items. A 3DS XL case with Pokémon X and Y legendries Xerneas and Yveltal on! Two DS styluses with Xerneas and Yveltal on, and a storage case to put 3DS games in! I can't wait 'till it comes!

A Tale of Friends, Enemies and Minecraft!
A Tale of Friends, Enemies and Minecraft is the latest book I've completed. It was by Jake Mayer and it was his first book.
Although it didn't have as amazing grammar and story-line as I thought it would have, it was still a good book at heart. It was barely about Minecraft; the only times that Minecraft came into the storyline was the rare occasions where the star of the book, Mike, played the game. The book was more about how Mike fought against the bully in his school with the help of his good, Minecrafter friend, Mark.
The book was a bit confusing because the grammar wasn't amazing. If Mike's mom said "Goodnight", and Mike replied "5 more minutes", both of the people's speech were in the same line/paragraph. This makes it difficult to read and understand. Doh!
The chapters in the story were very short, only 3 pages long at the most. This gives me a great advantage in bed, because I can read a chapter without getting caught. The book was 143 pages long and 43 chapters.
I'd rate this imperfect book 4 stars. Barely about Minecraft, but was still satisfying to read. I'd recommend this book to kids of all ages (of course a baby couldn't read this) and you wouldn't eveb have to know about Minecraft to like it!

Journey To A Different Dimension
The other night, (when I was supposed to be asleep) I finished off the book, Journey To A Different Dimension by Demian and Stan Schatt. When three kids get teleported into the world of Minecraft, they have to find a way to survive when other players try to steal their stuff and kill them. When it comes night, the monsters come out and try to kill the three kids, Tiffany, Paul and Ryan. Even worse, the game is on Hardcore mode, which means when you die, you cannot respawn - come back to life.
This book was excellent, but one thing that I did not enjoy was that it was an old book, I discovered this because the version of Minecraft they were playing was obviously very old.
Overall, I would give this book a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. It was quite a short book, it only took me 3 nights. (I was supposed to be sleeping...) It was 131 pages long. That's quite short for me.
If I was to be a character in this story, I would be Tiffany. She is the only girl and she's also the only person with a Bow and Arrow. I'd like to be her because I'm bad at fighting with a sword in the game. Tiffany doesn't know much about Minecraft, but she has a beginner's guide to the game.
My favourite part in this book was when they planned a trap for the horrible robbers that tried to steal their items. Tiffany was important here, as she had to shoot the button next to the TNT with a Bow and Arrow. This was my favourite part because their was so much action in it.
Here's a link to buy the book on Amazon: Journey To A Different Dimension
