Well, I am back at school. I still am not ready to be back at it and I am definitely not ready for the stress that is my life for the next 22 weeks. I need to stop stressing about everything and just go with the flow. I'm not sure how possible that will be considering my personality but I really should try.
At the end of this month my beginner ages 10-14 class has their first ballet exam and I am helping with a casino fundraiser and working a 9:45pm-3:00am shift for the school. Yikes. I also have to finish all of my choreo for the Spring Show and teach it to my students as well as find time in their short classes to make sure they know all of their work and can do it well.
At the beginning of February I have my exam tryout to see if I am ready for my Advanced 1 exam in June. I am working so hard and I really really want this so I hope that I will be ready! I also will have a full Sunday at the beginning of Feb where the grades 1-6 have their exam tryouts and it is manditory for me to attend. A full day of watching Cecchetti.... is actually not as bad as it sounds but my bum always hurts by the end of the day and I get a bit phased out. At the end of February there is also the dress rehearsal which means a full day at the school on a Sunday.
This is just a glimpse of the next few months of mine. I am already at the school 6 days a week normally, and my days are long and full. Adding another day onto that means I sometimes don't get a break for 2 weeks or more. Also, my school is very physical so my body doesn't get its' much needed rest during that time.
Wow, this entire post so far is me complaining about school. Normally I love school but lately it seems like a chore and my motivation for going is not there. I have not been enjoying school at all lately, which is a shame. I really should enjoy my last few years of being a student because once I'm done, real responsibility happens.
