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!

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!

Update!

So, I’ve been a little naughty and haven’t posted in a while! I was out sick for the last few days though. I sat around for 3 days and watched all the Harry Potter movies for the first time ever. They were really intriguing and I’m looking forward to seeing the next one that comes on in November.

Next week is my last “official” week of ballet classes for this year. I have to say I’m really impressed with the improvements I’ve made! My first ballet teacher is coming back for a few weeks this summer and I’m looking forward to showing her how much progress I’ve made. I’m also looking forward to my schools summer program, although it will be sad this year because my two teachers are retiring! I hope they come and guest teach for us!!!!

Well that’s all I have to say for now!
Blessings!
