Nice Apse.*
A few days ago I got my letter of acceptance from the residence I applied to live in. I am apartment-bound, for real. I'm so excited. An apartment. An apartment with roommates, which makes me a little apprehensive but still - it's an apartment, and I am going to live there and not here and that is a terribly strange thought, but one that I think I could get used to.
I've been dancing a lot - two weekends in a row of performances. I'm glad, though. It feels good. It feels like this is something I've been waiting for, or something I might have somehow earned. I took a ballet class last Sunday. It was lovely and terrifying. I used muscles I didn't even know I had, and felt their dull ache for a week afterward.
I went to a homeless shelter on Friday night. We served a meal there. I was nervous, but it was a really good night. The people there were so appreciative - I think I heard more thank-you's in that one night than I had in the entire rest of the week combined.
It's been feeling like spring outside lately, and I am so glad. I leave for Rome in less than two weeks. I'm so, so excited. I can't wait.
