Bleh....
I feel like I just got hit with a semi-truck..... :-/
I had Knights rehearsal on Friday night from 8pm till around 12am. After the three hour drive up, I was quite tired. We learned the sabre feature (where I am in the front). When we started learning it, it was kinda hard/fast and it included a weird parallel toss. But after awhile, I got the hang of it and it didn't seem hard anymore. I am kinda happy that that feature isn't too "hard", so that way I can practice and get really confident with it---especially because I am in the front.
Yesterday, we learned like 3 other different sabre sections. Each of them getting progressively harder, lol. They changed our hilt 5 into a blade 5 (but backwards... it's hard to explain). I'm actually doing better with this blade 5 then what I was doing with the hilt 5. I don't know why, but I would constantly drop that hilt 5 in rehearsal...but I don't drop that blade 5 that often. Tell me how that happened?? haha But I definitely need to practice A LOT, because premiere is in less then TWO WEEKS! Shit! lol
We also learned some opening choreography. It's so cool... I love it! It's like all of this on the floor stuff and there's this really cool leg lift thingy that's hard to explain. (You're on your back and your legs like curl up in front of you, towards the ceiling...) I dunno, but it's so cool! :)
On another note, I have so many bruises/cuts on my body its not even funny. Including a jammed right thumb! Mostly because of that darned sabre... but also because we do a lot of floor rolls when we're dancing. It definitely looks like I am abused, or that I got in a serious car accident... an accident with a SEMI-TRUCK! lol
So...here I am... sore as ever. I feel DEAD. :-/ Maybe I'll just relax for the rest of the day.
(PS- I'm getting nervous to meet my new roomate---or rather, suitemate! She's coming today :)
