2nd place. again. it's a good thing. we ripped. we did everything to get our point across. a number of ppl understood. including the cookies i think. eh. i want to say more but i don't want to come off like i'm repping the entire group. so i'm just going to stop.

The weekend overall was a lot of fun. i was delirious a good amt of the time. trying to catch up on sleep. had a beer. lots of laughs. good bonding time with the cuzin. great bonding time overall with the company. as of right now, this was my last body rock. i know i said that last year, but my schedule next year will very likely not allow me to dance with the company. apparently, i'm not the only one not returning next year. school seems to be the primary reason for not returning and i totally support that, but i can definitely say for myself that i will be having withdrawals.

My dog is crazy. i rush home from san diego to take care of my dog. the house was a mess. she got passed the pocket door and went all tasmanian devil on the living room. she ate a small tub of trader joe's mini peanut butter cups. that had me scared. but she had three bathroom breaks of explosive diarrhea. my poor baby. she'll be fine.

Recital this friday. i'm guessing it'll be the last time i'll dance til intensive. i don't think i can do the sac show on july 11 because my fam has tickets to wicked. i don't think i can get out of watching the show to perform. oh well. nah. this sucks. wicked will be around til september. we'll see what i can do. i really wanna see wicked but i really want to perform. we'll see.

Goals for the summer: finish eclipse and breaking dawn, maybe reread harry potter and the half-blood prince before the movie, watch all the summer blockbusters, choreograph a few pieces for pasa, complete a draft of paper 1 of my thesis, make as much money as i can at work, start my internship near the end of summer break, keep gaining weight, pull off a decent birthday celebration for myself.

I love dance. i love the company, my family, my friends, my crazy dog, good books, movies, and time. time well spent with my loved ones. if you're reading this; you are one of my loved ones. and so i say- i love you.

movies

I love movies. i'm gonna try to talk all about movies in this blog, but i already know i'm gonna go off on tangents. let me get the tangents out of the way. workshop was awesome on sunday. chris, algin, and pat all brought fun and challenging pieces. i was pretty much done for by the end of algin's class so that pat's class was, more or less, a brain frak. matt pushed me into one of the small groups in the end, which i'm actually thankful for because he knows that i need to be pushed. while i wasn't even close to perfect with the piece, it still felt good to run it, to be challenged. body rock is now 10 days away. crazy. idk even know where we're staying yet. haha. one more day of school and i'm done for the year. but i will be working on my thesis throughout my break.

Movies are awesome. ideally, i'd love to have some career in the movies. i have no idea what but it'd be great. netflix is awesome. it is such a great service. i'm slowly catching up on all the movies i want to see, which is just about every movie ever made. my queue has close to 100. my own dvd collection is close to 100. crazy right? i love movies. it's that simple. some of my friends say that i should be a movie critic, but i honestly would be a really bad critic because i pretty much like everything i see. they can be just ok movies and i'll put them on a pedestal. i think it's just because i don't like to be negative. haha. i've seen 4 summer releases so far: wolverine, star trek, UP, and drag me to hell. i would see all of them again except for the last one. i saw drag me to hell this evening w/steez and subi down in santa clara. we had fun watching but the movie itself was eh. if you're going to see it, just go in thinking it is a B-movie and you won't be disappointed. i had a lot of fun just talking w/steez and subes at in-n-out, prolly b/c i don't always have full on conversations w/ppl during practice. don't get me wrong, i love dance, but i wish i get to kick it even more w/company folks outside of the studio than i already do. like watching UP and drag me to hell on non-usual practice days. good ppl. good times.

watch movies because i said so. love the ones you're with. cross your heart. have some adventure. savor every moment, even the boring ones. peace.
