so dancing 6 hours a day isn't as bad as i thought it would be.... well other than the knots that keep forming in my calves and the exhaustion that hits after 8pm every night. but i sleep really well and i feel great!! you would think that with the massive increase in dance (from 5 hours a week to 25 hours a week) that i would be losing weight... but i'm not. if anything i am gaining weight! my appetite has increased significantly but i am starting to figure out what each craving means-like protein, fats, etc.
i would also like to announce that today i performed my first pirouette from fifth position!!!! yay! i have tried and tried and none of my other teachers could get me to do one.. then today my teacher sprung it on us and i did it!! at least five times :) yay! granted i am not landing them properly yet because it is so much easier to land a pirouette from fourth than one from fifth...but anyway i'm just super excited!!
so fulltime school is really busy, constant homework so my book is kind of on pause until i have a free moment...even my lunches and mornings are filled with homework, dinner, late nights-everything! i guess i am learning a lesson on taking 7 classes in a super short "semester" and having three of them be heavy on the homework end of things....speaking of which. i better get back to studying. next week is midterms-ALREADY!! it is passing so ridiculously fast!!
until next time!
