wow. wow. i haven't done anything on here for a loooonnng long time. sorry 'bout that. school is ca-razy!!! i made it through my 1st semester of college just barely and now i'm starting fresh again. in everything. just a little piece of advice to future college freshmen: do not fall for the 'classic freshman mistake' which is: staying up late every night. it's not worth it. trust me.
so another discovery that has made it's presence known to me is the fact that i miss dance. a lot. i got into 2 dance classes this semester: beginning jazz and contemporary. i thought it was going to be absolutely amazing. which, i guess it is kinda, but not as much as i was expecting. i've been learning how to do pas de bourrées, and chassés, and ball changes, etc. all of which i learned when i was like, 5. i mean, in the past few years i've even taught these things to girls. needless to say, i'm a little bored and it's definitely, definitely not a challenge.
i guess my biggest dissapointment is the fact that i've worked all my life to be an exceptional dancer. my body has been through brutal beatings and that will probably come back to haunt me when i'm old and wrinkly. but that was a small price to pay for the talent that i was working towards. college hits and i realize that my whole life has been dancing, so i decided to 'take a break' from it. i stop teaching, i stop stretching, i stop dreaming dance. i come to college and for the first time in my life i can walk like a normal person without the gimp from a sore muscle. i think it's awesome. at my first college football game, i felt a real pang of loss. the cougarettes were doing their little thing on the sidelines and the whole time my body was twitching, yelling at me, questioning why i'm not out there with them. ever since then i've been in withdrawal.
with my very beginner dance classes and my unquenchable need to dance, how do i satisfy the thirst?
any advice would be lovely.
in other news: i have a new baby niece!! yay for babies! i won't get to see her for a while but her pics are sure adorable.
