The Society of Incompetent People Called and they want their dancer back.

Yesterday's dance class left my head spinning. It started out well - during barre our artistic director complimented my grand batman's [battements? hailey can't spell] and my releve thingy during the fondue exercise, and then again during chinneas and russian turns. It made me feel really good because I was so unsure of everything that I was doing. I was trying my best but for the most part I couldn't tell whether I was doing the exercises properly or not. It was pretty reassuring. Then we start going over dances, and the way that works is that all of the old dancers get to dance and he fills in all of the empty spaces with new dancers, and gets the other new dancers to follow along and understudy a part. I got put into their dance, and I think was the only new dancer to be put in that particular dance. [I can't be sure - I was too scared to be paying too much attention to anything other than what I was supposed to be doing] I had no idea what I was doing! I got really confused and pretty much made a huge enormous mess out of their first run-through. The other dancers were trying their best to help me along but I was so lost. After that, though, it got a little better. I caught on to the dance with the help of Mykola and everyone else, but that very first run through keeps re-playing itself over and over in my head and I feel stupider and stupider each time I remember it. I'm anxious to get back to the studio and get past all of that.


In other not-so-interesting news, I just got back from a party not too long ago. It was...well, it could have been better. It was full of that lovely Junior High "I-like-him-but-he-won't-talk-to-me" and "They're-all-telling-secrets-about-me" crap that makes me want to gag.

I've got lots of homework this weekend, and I think I forgot to bring home some work that's due Monday. What a smart child I am. I've seriously got to pull myself together. Barely two weeks of school and I'm already screwing up Big-Time. This is so not me.

I'm tired and sore, so it's off to bed with me.
