I could use to learn a very important lesson. I need to be able to, once every blue moon, take a breath and relax. School is over, concerts are over, all of the residents are gone, and yet I still feel anxious and overcome. It could be the fact that my life is exploding all over my very small room. It could also be that I'm just really nervous for ( Read more... )

Today is opening night of my third Spring Concert at Purchase. I'm really excited because I am dancing in a bunch of pieces this year and have had my boundaries pushed because of it. I'm even more excited about the fact that both of my parents are coming to see the show. On separate nights, of course, but they ARE coming. They haven't seen me ( Read more... )

It's over! I have officially survived another Christmas and remain relatively unscathed. I was happy to receive a bunch of books this year because I've been trying to get back into the habit of reading more often and this is just incentive to do so. I also did a shameful amount of Boxing Day shopping yesterday. Everything was at great prices, but I ( Read more... )
