Wake up call...

Today Ms. Mack gave Ashlei and me a wake up call during the first period of dance. I feel that I haven't been working my absolute hardest yet this year, so I understand where Ms. Mack was coming from. After starting some college applications this weekend, I'm starting to feel a little more prepared but I don't feel like I'm ready to graduate at the end of this year. I know it's a little early to be saying that, but I'm afraid of what will follow high school. But I know Ms. Mack will do all she can to help me get into college.

Once the freshmen got to dance, we went over the exercises that Ms. Mack is going to test us on this Friday. About half way through the second period, I got called down to guidance. It turns out I'm in the top 15% of my senior class. When I got back, we finished up the freshmen periods. The last period of the day, we started to do some dance history. This year is World Dance History. We made tables to show the characteristics of folk and ritualistic dances. I plan on getting better at blogging as the year goes on. I will finish catching up on my blogs tomorrow night.

A little behind

I am a little behind on my blogs. I guess I'm not used to being back in school yet. From now on I'll be blogging every day that we have school. Today during our shop time, we had a MED student from Rutger's observing our class. During our senior period, Ashlei, Shalima, and I looked at more colleges. When the freshmen joined us, we took a modern technique class. Our last period we went over the rep that we have learned in the past week. After we did the phrases a couple of times, we did chvastna. It always seems to relax me and I always feel refreshed after.

I can't believe that I'm a senior already. It really occurs to me when the freshmen come in everyday and Ms.Mack calls us seniors. This year, I seem to mess up the most simple combinations when we are warming up. I think I'm just nervous and want to be a good model for the freshmen and I overthink the most simple things.
