Back to life

Back to reality, back to the here and the now.... (sorry, once the song starts, it's gotta keep going)

Dance 31 is now over. The concerts all went super well, no one got hurt on stage, nothing went horribly wrong, both Friday and Saturday were completely sold out (at least 20 people each night standing in the aisles). It was awesome. The performance high always erases all the stress and trouble from the week before the show, so I'm back to my old self again. We had a post-mortem with the faculty and whatever students could come last night, and it was a good opportunity to talk about what goes on in the department, what this concert really means and how it really works, and what's going to happen to it once our chair leaves (Max is retiring after this year). So overall, a very good run of a very good show.
The only problem is now I'm left with like nothing to do. I have three nights a week where I used to be at rehearsal literally all night. Now, I'm just sitting around. Sunday, I cleaned the bathroom, did all of my laundry, went shopping, did homework, and took a really long bath. It was amazing. I've still got things to do, sure, but now I have so much more time to do them. It's awesome.
Spring break is soon, which is exciting. I'm heading to Ithaca, NY with Kathleen for a couple of days, which should be good. She needed a ride home, I needed something to do, and Mike is in town visiting Cornell, so we all decided to hang out there together. Should be a good time (mostly because it's not Hope).
I sent my application in to Paul Taylor's summer intensive, complete with a really flattering recommendation from Ray Tadio (my teacher, who actually has a recognizable name in the NY dance scene). I should hear back by the end of the month (exciting!!). I'm all antsy, I want to go to this thing so badly. Ray really was encouraging about me being there, he thought I would do very well and was all overflowing with other people I should go take class from while I'm in the city. Just keeping my fingers crossed...
So I guess instead of sitting around all day like I would like to, I should write up my biochem lab or something. I suppose I'm off to do that. As my brothers would say: (while my sister yelled at them...) Have a nice life.
