Gosh I miss it!

You ever miss something so much that you get distracted from everything else and can only focus on the thing you miss most? Right now I am seriously missing performing. I loooved performing and being on stage, getting reactions out of an audience. It has always been one of my favorite things. I was on stage all throughout my childhood and high school and now that I'm in college I've almost completely neglected any sort of performing art.

What brings me on this rant is that I'm taking the beginning social(ballroom) dance class at OSU and I have absolutely fallen in love with it. A big part is that I actually get to dance, which I love, and because I'm the best dancer in the class (no, I'm not bragging), I always get pulled out to dance with the instructors to show the class how to do the new moves. It is wonderfully fun and being in the middle of the class gives me the feeling of being back on stage. I miss it so terribly much!

When I started college I was happy with going to class and fencing. Now I'm beginning to realize that I need a more creative outlet to counter the both of them. Fencing is my outlet for school, I think dance or performing would be a great outlet for fencing. My only problem is finances. The main reason I do so much at the fencing club is because I don't have to pay any money for classes or tourneys at our club, just for my private lessons (which are adding up). I need to get a real job again so I can afford to take on another activity and build my savings.

I need to dance!
