SO apparently I can't do Death Drops
To sum up my life...way too busy.
For the past couple of weeks I have had atleast 2 dance performances per week (last week we had three). On saturday afternoon at the last scheduled rehearsal before out performance that evening, our instructor decides that we need to have couple solos at the end of the dance. One couple had a lift, another one had a turning thing, and myself and my partner got assigned the "death drop". I wasn't expecting anything quite as spectacular and stretchy as that for the class, so I didn't warm up very much. This being said, I have pulled a muscle in my quads that runs from the outside of the hip to the inside of the knee. I never knew I used my thigh as much as I really do. It isn't so much painful as it is the fact that my leg just won't do what it is suppose to. I can't put weight on it and bend my leg (which made the two more performances interesting) and when I am going up and down stairs sometimes my knee buckles and almost gives out.
On other busy notes, finals are almost over, I have one more essay that I need to write and research for...shouldn't be too bad. I am just glad I am one step away from this semsester being over.
