I don’t know. All of those things may be minor accomplishments, but I think they add up to complete a busy and wonderful week.
1. On Friday I woke up and after a bit of sitting around I started writing in my journal about the day ahead of me when I realized that my idea of what was going to happen was all wrong! I had to perform at the Prestige nursing home at 4:30 and had completely forgotten. Mom and I left a bit late and then had to stop for gas, but we still made it on time. The show went well. The crowd wasn’t as responsive as I had hoped they would be.. but I hope we were able to bless them. After that I had to run over to Ballet Tyler rehearsal were Brooke had forgotten that I wasn’t going to be there right away. We went through the show once and put our costumes on and danced it again. The ballet is coming along.
2. Yesterday.. oh that day. I got to TJC at around 9:50 and left at 4:15. Long day. During that rehearsal I barely sat down once. We, the dolls, danced with the party-scene for the first time and it was crazy! We are supposed to be carried away at the end by some of the men in the scene.. but, rather than carrying me, this guy herded me off to the side, saying he’d rather not break his back yet. I only way about half as much as he does so it was a maybe.. a bit rude? Haha, anyway, it will be interesting when we try performing on stage since he wouldn’t practice during rehearsal. Act 2 was the ridiculous one. Because I am the Sugar Plum Fairy in the school shows I have to do that on top of everything else. The shank (the hard part) on my right shoe broke and was no longer supporting my ankle at all. By the end of rehearsal I could barely stand in my pointe shoes..
3. I watched Becoming Jane last night. I cried. I didn’t want to watch it because someone had already told me the outcome of the story and once I knew that, my interest decreased quite a lot. Sad movies are good, but not when you know they are going to be sad when you start them. Every time a happy part came I just grieved because I knew it wouldn’t last. It was, however, an extremely beautiful movie and I like those.
I love to ramble, as you can tell. Today, the whole D’Eramo family and some of the Bares family, including Shay who has been gone for a few months, and I all went to see New Moon. It certainly wasn’t the best movie I’ve ever seen, but I did enjoy myself. Which we all know is what life is about, hahaha.
