I have been so lazy this week. Not terribly lazy, but just lazy enough not to do much homework on a Thursday night. The daily schedule at school has been weird this week. I finished all the homework that was due today on Wednesday and I didn’t do much to get ahead and I have a busy weekend. THIS WEEKEND INCLUDES REHEARSAL and I am just so excited it’s insane. And yes. Just yes, yes, yes. I am so excited to move again. Last year was so blah but this year is going to be phenomenal. I am so motivated and determined. I’m just so excited to work hard and do what I want to do and learn. Dance this year is going to be so great. I’m happy to get back in shape. I still have to tape my ankle with this super strength man tape whenever I dance for about a month. I don’t know why I call it “man tape” but I do. I wish I didn’t have to wear it, but I still get to dance with the tape and I’m wearing the tape to smooth the transition from non-dance to intense dance. So only about a month and half of wearing the tape and then I should be good. And I don’t think I’ll have to wear the tape during performances.
I also relieved to finally get back into the routine. The routine of getting up, going to school, coming home, going to dance, doing work, and doing other projects and such. I am so looking forward to being busy the way I want to be busy. As much as the sleepless nights suck and the piles of homework that never diminish, I get so much gratification by making everything work and by everything I mean dance, school, writing projects, service hours, anthropology, reading books. Making all those aspects fit together makes me very happy and pleased with myself.It gets harder very year but ultimately more gratifying when I can manage my time and my activities well. I want to be a renaissance woman when I reach adulthood (will I ever?) and renaissance women have to capable of many things. Like a jack of all trades.
I don’t know. I’m just very happy that things are finally falling into place after so much waiting.
I would also like to point out at this time that I spend a lot of time driving. It’s kind of amazing how much time an individual can spend in the car, especially in the suburbs. I don’t know that sort of hit me today.
I had good conversations today. It’s so nice to be able to talk to someone about anything that rolls into my head. It’s so nice to just talk to another human being about life. Not about school or even funny things on the internet, just talking about life. That’s when you know you have a good friend, when you can talk about things that most other people would rather not venture near to.
I’m tired.
Stay Excellent,
