Yesterday was the first day of October. I finished the last September of my high school career. Casey announced it fourth period and Ashlei started crying. I think that's when I realized. In shop we did our first exam which had a plie/contraction warm-up, a tendue warm-up, arm swings, and an across the floor. I did pretty well. Ms. Mack told me that when I lift my leg I tend to tuck my tailbone. She also told me that during the arm swings I need to release my shoulders more, which I thought I felt. I also was leaning forward in one of the exercises.
The freshmen could've done a lot better, but it was their first time. Ashlei and I went over the combos with them before they started each one and some of them were doing it right then changed what they were doing. When we were talking to them they said that they thought they were doing it wrong because they saw girls going the other way. I told them that even when they see other people doing it differently than them, just do what they think is right. I love taking those exams because it challenges me to remember combinations without having Ms. Mack in front of us doing it. It's also good to get feedback from Ms. Mack to know how I'm progressing.
