resolutions, goals, ballet class

so before i get into the good stuff, shiloe no longer is receiving his horrible histories books-as mentioned previously his order was canceled by the dealer.... so great. but he is still going to be getting his photography and Shakespeare books! they should be delivered any day now :) yay! and the people finally refunded the 80 dollars for the books that they canceled. so that is a plus.
and it turns out that the car dealership only has us down as being charged once and the bank has us down as being charged twice so the dealership can't fix it unless the bank calls them. i will tackle this tomorrow.....
so i am currently in ballet at BYU two classes a week, and am going to ballet club on saturdays for extra practice and learning. and i finally got the guts to register for an actual studio. the Academy of Ballet which is run by my current byu teacher Lynne Thompson. she is so amazing! i trust that the faculty and curriculum at her studio match her awesomeness. :) i will write a report on my first class sometime next week. class is supposedly tuesdays so yeah.
ok so my goals and new years resolutions: be on pointe or very close by the end of the year, write a complete teen fiction fairytale rewrite by the end of the year (1+ chapters now finished). I personally feel that i am tackling these fairly well considering how hard it is for me to write longer than a short story, and how shy i am when it comes to dance when i'm not performing. so by taking ballet from three different sources and practicing outside of class, reading my textbook which talks about technique, conditioning, history, etc, and exposing myself to attending various performances to become more familiar i think i will be able to adequately prepare myself for what lies ahead. i have also decided on a dance major. i have to audition but that would not be until next october from what i can gather. so until then i do my best to gain as much experience as possible in different styles of dance and decide what my focus will be (ballroom, ballet, folk, modern)....i've registered for classes SP/SU all of which are dance major related. i do get nervous and scared sometimes but i just have to step back from it all emotionally and relax, have some fun. i learn easier that way.
as far as writing goes, i am working on my book whenever i have the time/energy and the inspiration. i'm finding that shiloe's book and my book are at the same point in progress but he writes a paragraph a day and i don't... i end up having a few days of pondering, proofreading and "thinking"/researching then i have this spurt of inspiration that comes in about 2 pages. so even though our style of approaching our goals is different they are both on track and are looking hopeful.
i have recently turned a partial chapter over to my english major friend for the ultimate review. she has been proofreading my stuff since we met, and she knows my difficulties and...not difficulties? lol anyway if she passes it the project continues and i seek more peer reviews including my amazing elder sister. if she doesn't pass it as having enough potential or interest then i either A-get a new hobbie, B-come up with a new story and try again. so the moment of truth approaches.
