Too much has happened since the last time I've written.

First of all, I earned my driver's license only a few days before going back to school. I still haven't driven by myself, but that's bound to happen some time this weekend while visiting.

Classes are okay-better now that I dropped that awful Environmental History. Modern technique with Esther allows me to work on those funky handstands everybody seems to like. The West African tidbits are great too. She's a swell woman. Ballet's alright. More challenging. Melanie never ceases to make me chuckle in that class. She's so blunt! Love her any way. Notation's been a breeze so far. (Then again I haven't started any of the projects yet) Composition is SCARY and probably the most difficult "dance" course I've ever taken. The concept of weight studies happens to be so interesting. Coming up with material for Vicki Blaine to analyze gets me shakin' in my boots. Oh yes, and Intro to Cinema-a joke.

I was cast into Esther's piece for Dance Downtown. This is so exciting for me. The movement is thrashy with a lot of improvisation. (so far) Show's not until May though... It's really wonderful to have the opportunity to have so much time with Esther. I feel that within the department, there aren't many on the faculty who get a bigger picture of you and your dancing. I work with Esther five days a week. Again, swell.

So, I'm extremely busy again. I get little two hours breaks occasionally. Right now I'm looking for a job so I can either (a) take classes this summer or (b) travel to Africa to dance over the summer. Yeah, just the prospect of money... I'm broke and my pops keeps on giving me heck about it. I'm tryin'!

Edit to come-I'm falling asleep<3
