I was accepted as a SOPHOMORE for next fall! I feel so much better now! I get to dance full-time like I’ve always wanted (and was meant to do, as far as I’m concerned)!

The audition is over. I have mixed feelings about my performance. I made some ridiculously idiotic mistakes during the technique class, but the last couple of times we did the final combination, I think I did pretty well. Across-the-floor was way fun (as expected) and I know I did well on that. Improv was also ridiculously fun, but there’s really know way to know how well I did, since I don’t know what they were looking for in that section. I was really into it, though, and basically forgot they were watching us for a while, which is supposed to be a good thing. My solo went as planned. It’s almost a blur now; I don’t even remember parts of it, but I know I did them.
It’s really hard to compare myself to the other dancers who were there. We were all so different. A couple of them are obviously going to get in. One girl’s solo was just plain amazing. But as for the rest of us…I just don’t know.
Now all that’s left to do is wait for the letter…
Solo finished, as well rehearsed as it can be in this short a period of time while still going to school. Bit of weight lost, taken class…The audition is on Friday, and I’m terrified, but I think it will go well.
