Tondue and in.Tondue and in. Plie and straighten.

Ballet used to be something I dreaded going to. Every Wednesday and Monday I believe is when I had it. It got tiring and old and boring. I was exhausted all the time and I hated even thinking about it. WHAT was I THINKING?! I love ballet. As an adult I have learned to appreciate it more and learn the art of movement within ballet. I love the music, the flow the grace and more importantly the confidence it brings me. the fact that I can still do a lot of what the teacher is telling me to do really surprises me. I remember the terms, the lifts, and even the counts. I love it.

I have decided to start up again. During the fall/school I'm planning on taking ballet classes at Ballet West. They have a 10 class punch card for $95 for students. That is a steal to be taught by Ballet West performers and to build my strength and endurance as well. I plan on buying that hopefully soon. The company I'm with right now is The Dance Company. (original right?) and I'm not 100% sure they are doing adult fall classes for ballet, but if they are you bet I'll be doing them too. It's a lot of money, but it truly is an investment in my body and self confidence.

I'm really excited for school to start up in August. It's a time of the year I dread when I'm doing it, but before it starts I get really excited. I'm nervous though because grego is going into school really heavily this semester so it always makes me worry about how we are going to do, but I'm excited because I'm going to be studying too with him and something I LOVE to do so it makes it that much easier to study, if that made any sense. Yes I am going to Amarillo College for their mortuary program :) Very thrilled I was accepted into the program. Haven't really told a whole lot of people, because it's kind of an odd thing to say, but I'm pretty happy about it.

I've recently have started noticing people. details about people. A lot of people gossip and back bite, and a lot of people are genuine to others. I have learned a lot this last 6 months about all of that, and I have come to the conclusion that I need to stop either helping the gossip or even talking about it. It's not ok. What if we don't know the back story of that person or even they might be going through some things that we can never understand. I'm getting sick of the world relying on gossip or back biting to get to know someone. It really is hurtful, So I am going to make sure that I worry about what I'm doing in my own world and if I accept who I am and love who I am. Because once you love who you are, people will see how beautiful you are and learn to love you too. Positivity attracts positivity. So many quotes that I would love to type here but I don't remember them all. One thing my mom has always taught me is to make sure you're doing things right and loving who you are and everything will fall into place.
