Oia?!

Despite discovering that I can blog via SMS text, I came to find out that extra long blogs, meaning extra long texts equal separate blogs. Just when I thought this was so convenient. Now I'm just gonna read and type what I texted...

As of last Monday, I have added another night of rehearsal, meaning dance days are now Sunday-Thursday. In all the time I've spent in the studio, I've realized that it took the sacrifice of bonding with friends, sometimes school, to achieve a goal I was far from grasping. So I didn't make the Seaworld cast for this summer, explaining the additional 4-5 classes a week I put myself through. Yeah, I'm pretty bummed, but I really had my hopes quite high.

But then again, I have been brought back to humility, realizing that dance is not an overnight craft, realizing that growing is constant. Nonetheless, I have enjoyed taking jazz, house, and even some "simple" cardio hip-hop; pirouettes, jacks, and box steps alike. I want to challenge and inspire myself further (not so much the 77 day separation from Maria).
Aside from dance, I want to take a bigger effort to maintain relationships, as I consider those the fuel in my life. Considering Aura's words, "Gotta love to be loved." These short, yet simple words will explain a lot of my values.

In other news, I'm in no rush to transfer and graduate. Doing well in school and maintaining good grades are still priorities. But I don't like the idea of settling down by my mid 20's. I'm living 'in the moment' at the moment and that means exploring deeper in studies that may have some relationship as to what I will be doing in my life. For one, I'm probably going to switch around jobs and a foundation on a single subject will do me no good. Secondly, I enjoy a liberal arts education. Third, I really am not satisfied with my career test's suggestion of a communications major. I want to take some drawing, painting, photography, art history, web design, etc. I just want to see what's out there. And lastly, my body may not be dancing when I'm 50, so I'm going to use this physical peak and keep it there for as long possible.

Five more weeks until school is over!
