Dance Major

I'm not very good at auditions, despite the fact that I aced above the level of Latin Ballroom taught at the audition my nerves were so bad I looked like I had never danced before. I was embarrassed and other things. But I've moved on. To be honest, I am actually relieved that I don't have to worry about what classes I take. I probably won't finish a degree anytime soon unless it is the Dance Major...I can always audition again next year, and hopefully I will have mastered my nerves by then if I do. If not, I can work more with archaeology and minor in Dance (which i already qualify for).

I'm still going to dance, still going to compete, still going to teach and plan on opening a studio. :)
I'm only motivated even more to work my hardest.

Dance Major

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!
