Bittersweet

Summer Intensives are over and my teachers (Mr. and Mrs. F) and retired now. It’s really… Bittersweet.

I knew it was coming and I was prepared for it, but it is still sad to see them go because they have taught me so much! They have shown me not only good ballet technique but also how to be an artist. They may be done teaching now (though no one can stay away from what they love and I'm sure they will teach again someday) , but I will forever carry their words of wisdom with me. This is just the beginning of something great in my life and my love of dance!

Thank you so much Mr. and Mrs. F! It was appreciated more than you know!

My Summer Goals

First of all, I’m back from being “out”! My sunburn is almost healed, and for anyone who has a bad burn now… I feel your pain! And try Aveeno its amazing!


Well now that it is officially summer, I thought I would share with you my summer goals!

Stretching everyday! - This is my biggest goal right now, I really need to get my extensions higher and I need to stretch to do that.

Lose some weight! – I am currently about 10 pounds heavier than I would like to be, and by loosing the weight I will b able to move better.

Stop eating junk food! – I don’t drink soda except on special occasions, but I have a huge weakness for chocolate (what girl doesn’t?)

Get my double pirouettes consistent (and maybe even start on some triples).

Prepare myself for auditions! I have so many things I want to do and audition for and I need to be at the top of my game!

Its a lot, but I know I can do it if I set my mind to it!

Out for a while!

Hey all! I’m going to be out for a while due to major sunburn! Its hurts to be alive right now. I have very fair skin and I spent 5 hours tanning the other day…. Not a bright idea! Now I’m as red as a tomato, and I’m not exaggerating.

Hope to be back soon!

Tootles!

Surprise!

In dedication of my first day of Ballet Intensives and my promise to post something special… *drum role please* Here is a picture of me actually executing a arabesque! My extended leg isn’t very high and I need to square my shoulders, but I think it pretty good for a picture taken in front of church with friends being silly!



In other news, I’m making a doctors appointment tomorrow for my toe. My toenail fell off (because of pointe) a few weeks ago and its really been hurting to do pointe lately. I hope all goes well! Maybe he will prescribe a magical pain numbing cream! Lol, one can only hope!

Update on my summer

Summer is finally here! I’ve been enjoying my week of from ballet by staying up until 2 and waking up at 10 and its going to be quite painful when Monday roles around and I have to be up at 6 am. Monday is the start of my summer intensive (my ballet school does it), it is three weeks of intense ballet training everyday! This will be my 3d year doing it (I did it two summers while I was still at my old studio). I’m not nervous because it’s my same teachers; I kind of miss that feeling of anticipation for something new and unknown!

Speaking of the unknown…next year will be my senior year and I’m starting to feel the pressure of decided what I’m going to do with my life! What are you guys planning to do? I’m thinking about taking a year off and working and possibly traveling.

Well that’s all I have to say for now. Oh but keep an eye out! I have something special planned for my next post!
