Back At School

Well, I'm back in good old Holland, MI. It's good to be back at the house, though it's undergoing quite a conformational change. Kath, Jenn, and I are all attempting to fit in a room that had only 2 girls in it last year. So the first challenge is getting all the furniture to fit well and still be able to use the light switch and see out the window. Then, we have to get all of our stuff to fit. Slight problem there: the girls didn't so much move out of the room yet.... So we carefully carried all of their things downstairs, and have been trying since yesterday to find places for our clothes. All my life, the only stuff under my bed was crap and junk that I didn't want my mother to see, but now I've got about half my waredrobe under there. We eventually decided to put 2 of the 3 desks out in the living room, which made the light switch and window accessible, and also left some room for a "sitting area" (the chair didn't fit in the LR any more). So I think it'll all work, as long as Jennica's stuff fits around Kath's and mine, and the girls don't get super mad at us for moving their stuff. It's interesting, but kinda fun up here now :)

InSync is in full swing again, too. We are getting the pieces of our costumes together, which is fun. All the pieces are done, which is good. The only problem is that they swung another week of full-night rehearsals on us. So now I have to find people to sub for my ballet classes for another week. That means that 3 weeks in a row I'm not teaching. Guess those new $250 tap shoes are coming out of my savings. Not to mention the fact that finding people to teach for me that much is quite a daunting task. Yuck. I love to do lots of things, and it's only when they butt up against each other that problems come. This time, they are really ramming together (fun).

Goals for today:
get my stuff out of the kitchen (there are a couple things that don't quite fit in the room yet)
don't get angry at rehearsals about having more rehearsals
give Jennica a gigantic hug (it's been 4 months since I could)
