Today I went to the ice rink for my weekly classes, which was a troubling and a surreal experience. Last week I missed class, proving the saying "missing one day in school is equal to missing a year" very much true for when I enter the class today, I knew no one. Apparently last week the management decided to change all their staff members (except my instructor) and move EVERYONE that was in my class into different classes. My instructor, unaware of my confusion (or that I was even absent last week), could not explain this change (I find it quite possible that she didn't even know that her students changed)
However despite this ordeal which made me feel that I was in a zombie Apocalypse (or at least an episode of The Twilight Zone) I managed to have fun at the rink today because I saw a 10 year-old girl (who I was familiar with) again. She is a level above me and we had much fun holding hands while skating and trading moves and she even showed me how to do a basic jump with a 180 turn (which, of course, she is much better at). In addition I received some tips from a once professional skater and soon after I stood center ice and gawked in amazement at the same woman practice a triple lutz.
This excitement led me to look up professional skaters habits which led me to an article about the training and diet of the Olympian Johnny Weir. I read this article about him in the "New York times" online (here: nymag.com/health/features/1592… ) and although I know it's a bit old I also know he still competes and probably still follows this routine causing me to be concerned about his health.
I'm 5'2" and around 115 pounds... which according to the government makes me the perfect healthy weight although I know that really I'm a bit over what I should looking at my family genes. This being said, you can see how I could be concerned about Weir who lives a very hectic lifestyle: what with Skating with the Stars, his new books, training, and competitions (including the possibility that he might come back for a 3rd Olympic game 2014), yet eats very little.
To start off he is a skinny man but now I know why: despite practicing nearly practicing 3 hours in addition to his normal workouts he does not eat breakfast or lunch and hats very minimal when it comes to dinner and practically survives only on "Vitamin Water" I know this is bad because I also skipped Breakfast and Lunch (accidently) and started to feel very dizzy after my 3 hours of ice time (also coincidentally the same). The only difference however is that instead of chewing vitamins and hitting the Gym I choose to gobble 2 "Café Rio tacos" (one to make up for breakfast another for lunch) and then decided to sleep for another 3 hours making up for the time I spent staying up till 2 am (much like I am doing now to write this) bring up my total hours from 5 up to 8
Mr. Weir, uses coffee to make up for the only 6 hours he sleeps. I usually sleep about that much, excluding today, due to studies so I can't talk much on this subject but I can vouch for the idea that it isn't healthy to sleep that little.  You know it's defiantly not practical when you are using mints to fight sleep in 4th period Spanish.
All in all, there isn't much we can do to convince our beloved Olympian from acting like a reckless teenager in high school, but we can hope that in the future that he remains healthful for that's all that matters.

I bow..... but people kind of look at me strangely...
stupid white chick thinks she's Japanese... but i'm Californian! what do you expect?!
-- did you know that the CST (California state standards tests) don't say Caucasian anymore....it's back to "white"
Explanation: CST's are specialized testings for each grade level (except 12th). They are known to be much more difficult than exams taken in other "countries" of the united states but about the year 2016 the entire nation will make their tests more difficult.

I have a theory:

for every popular movie/boo/tv series there is alway one "all-purpose character"

requirements of an allpurpose character:
must be a main character
must be remotely hot (enough to glorify to god/goddess quality)
must be able to drop all components of personality

Examples of "all-purpose characters":
Hermione Granger (HP)
Orahime Inoe (Bleach)
Ichigo Kurosaki - seriously with all the awkward yaoi couples?(Bleach)
Sakura Haruno (naruto)
Toru Honda (Fruits basket)
Bella Swan (Twilight)
The list goes on and on and on and on.....

what do you think?

Both of my parents agreed that I should play hooky (how cool is that)
