First day of Knitting!

Hey! Dapple Grey reporting!
I was all excited for applied skills. First we did GO, and then we started our knitting project. What we had to do was take all the yarn "guts" out from the inside, so we could find the end. I think mine yarn was rolled up in a messed up way, or I took it out wrong, because pretty soon it became a big, tangled mess. So during Kevin Z and Tony's brain presentations, I was busy fixing the knot. I manged to almost get it at the end of class, and i was still unraveling during the break before P.E. I managed to free the huge knot, so I had a tiny-ish ball of yarn.
P.E. was different today. We went to the other side of the gym for some reason, and we had warm up there. We couldn't run outside in the rain, so we ran the bleachers instead. Then right after, Dykstra decided to make us do skipping. I'm not a fan of skipping, since I've never done it much when I was smaller. Also, I still remember how tired I was after the first time we did skipping. It was better this time though, but I still haven't increased my score much. Natasha was waay more bouncier today, and she did more than 600? I have no idea how she managed that, she seemed to have a ton of energy today. It was back to the weight room after that, and we only need stairs and dips until we're finished two sheets! I can't believe how fast we go. This time, we only needed 4 classes per sheet! I hope we can beat our score next time.
French was another silent work period. She assigned us textbook work on the board, and we just wrote and wrote and wrote. But actually, it doesn't really seem that long. It wasn't really fun, but not totally boring at the same time. Still, time just flies past.
In English, we started out with a little of poetry, but Mrs. Greskiw had a headache, and since we had our knitting project, she let us knit for the whole block. I had finally unraveled my knot, so for the whole of this period, I just watched as my yarn ball grew bigger and bigger. April helped me out a lot, because she could ravel yarn so fast, it surprises me. I just made sure that there were no more knots. THANKS APRIL! At the end, there was a small clump of knots all tied up that we couldn't untangle, so we had to cut the string, but my yarn ball is still pretty big. Now, I'm just really glad that I have a yarn ball, and hopefully, after all those knitting videos and more help from April, I'll be able to knit.
Sorry about going on and on, but I promise, this is the last bit of information for today. I had my second-last skating lesson today, and it was awesome! We warmed up with bunny hops, which were so easy, but harder today because one of my skates were kind of loose. After I re-tidied it, we did some waltz jumps. I've been practicing those forever, and was so close to perfecting it, when Lianna decided to teach us sow cows. I've actually done those before, but they're pretty hard. I spent a long time practicing those (I still can't get them right) until we played another game of freeze tag at the end. I'm glad to say, that this class was the best skating class we ever had.
Stay tuned,
