Ok, so it's hella late and I'm finally at my parents place. Recap of the weekend and Monday: Sunday woke up early and we all piled in the car to head up to the bay. Dropped off Courtney in Concord, picked up Emily in Berkeley, and headed into SF. Day around there, and then reversed the whole thing. (Didn't pick up Courtney.) Anyway, LONG day, totally tired by the end of it. I was rather tired at the beginning of it actually, feel asleep in the car several times.
Monday got some errands and stuff done, did some laundry and then headed down to Motion Pacific for last class. (More on this later.) Got back and then dealt with packing. I hate packing. I mean I really really do. Between finishing laundry and packing, it put me 2 hours behind a targeted schedule. So I'm finally at my parents place for break. I just realized earlier this evening that we've only got two weeks left to winter break. Given I spent a deal of my break down in Santa Cruz. I'm not complaining, cuz it was fine, I was keeping occupied. How this part will fan out is another question. Given I have virtually no money, I can't do much and I definitely can't afford to go to Tahoe on my own dime. Family trip hopefully... we shall see. knowing how being at home always goes, by the end of it I'll be desperate to get the fuck back to SC.

Ok so onto dance class. Ok yes this past quarter has been VERY dance centric. But then again for a good reason too. I mean I've always considered myself a kinetic person, I just don't think I realized (and still am) how much so. So as I mentioned in an earlier post Tandy told me that I really do have a kinetic presence and such, and I definitely took it to mind.
Anyway so during the dance showcase this past weekend, it was before the dress rehearsal and so we're just standing around and I do one of my "frolics" into the front lobby for whatever reason. Hold that; so the lady who teaches ballet there (Vicki I believe), came into my intro modern dance class to sub for Tandy one day. So I've had a class with her. So anyway as soon as I landed, she was like "Wow! I think we need to see that again!" Given I was wearing my white DVS shoes I opted to do it again without them on (they're not broken in and thus have hard toes.) Of course the other folks in my hip-hop class were impressed and amused. I also got a complement from Vicki on it. She actually made reference to it later when were blocking out the curtain call, if I'd use that as my entrance. Heh.

Ok! SO now getting to the good part... So it's the last day of my hip-hop class, and I noticed that Tandy was there in the ballet class today. (She hadn't been there in weeks) Anyway it was nice to see her again and say hi. She was really happy that I was still doing dance even tho our class had ended weeks ago. But what was interesting was that right we said hi, Vicki commented on how I have an excellent "running leap" (I think that's what she said.) And Tandy responded in mentioning about how I've got great "kinetic energy." I chuckled, to which Vicki responded "you laugh!" and Tandy also added in "you do." Well I had to get going and put my shoes on given that we were about to start warm ups for class.

But everything I've been doing, and hearing about all the dance I've been doing has really had me thinking. It really has necisitated the thought of do I want to really persue doing dance more than just a causal fun item on the side. I mean as it seems to me, I've been able to pick up on dance far faster than many of the other things I've started doing in the last 5 years. Snowboarding was one of the fastest, but that was also because I beat myself into the ground (technically snow, I know) to get good at it. Dance I just have been doing it as I've enjoyed it. It's odd... And like I talked about in the past blog entry, actually performing for an audience, that whole energy that's there.... ah wow. I'm just not sure what to think about it; there's so many things running through my mind about me and dance.

Anyway, this is far longer than I intended (isn't all blogging like that?) and I'm beginning to ramble and I must sleep. I've got a somewhat early of a schedule in the morning. I dunno, I think I'll have to take a stab at this one again when I'm fully rested. This quarter has definitely proved to be a major turning point for me.
