My first Karate classes

I just started taking Karate Classes and it is soooo fun! I don't have the uniform or even an actual belt. I have taken two classes so far and it is pretty tough on your body. Karate teaches you all sorts of interesting things like how to escape a grasp and how to count in Japanese. I hope to get the Karate uniform called a Gi and get my white belt soon and then I will feel like a real ninja! I go to a Dojo* called the New Paltz Karate Academy where there are nice teachers that will even work one-on-one with you if you are new to the Dojo*. If you live in the area and are looking to start Karate classes, check out THIS LINK!

*Dojo in Japanese means "place of the way", and it is usually subject to Temples.

Toy Story 3

Most girls my age (I am 12 soon to be 13) would take one look at the new release "Toy Story 3" and say "That's for toddlers.", but I disagree! When my siblings and I were little we LOVED all of the Toy Story movies, so I was curious what the new Toy Story 3 would be like. I went into the theater with low expectations but I would have to say, BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!! It was hilarious! With great new characters like Ken (Third from Bottom), the girls toy who is obsessed with clothes, and Lotso (Second from Bottom), Short for Lots-O-Huggin'-Bear, the bear who smells like strawberries. It had a few emotional parts that made me cry but most of it is just laugh-out-loud funny. I think that people of all ages should go see this movie (3-D or 2-D) and you will not regret it! I give this movie:
