Less Stress and Other Stuff

Well, I have decided to not continue to assist the ballet 6-8 year olds and I feel better now that a decision has been made. I'm still going to talk to Heather tomorrow, but I feel a lot better knowing that I can't do it all and it's ok. It's still hard for me to face the fact that I won't be assisting the cute little ones, but I know it'll be better for me, especially with the musical coming up! My dad and I had a very long talk Friday night/Saturday morning about this topic and both of us decided that not assisting this class would be better so that I can focus on doing plays (which will help me on my quest to going on Broadway). In this conversation, we also talked about the fact that I didn't have to do IB because it doesn't have anything to do with going on Broadway. That was a relief. This doesn't mean however that I won't be doing the program. It means that I can feel better about not getting all A's knowing that both my parents say that I don't need to do the IB program if I'm going to stress out al of the time. That was a great relief. I feel much better.

Tomorrow means two things, getting new pointe shoes and talking to Heather. Oh and also a choir concert. I'm excited for the first one and nervous for the other two. We'll see how it goes!

If anyone isn't doing anything on Wednesday, November 10, my cousin Jennifer is talking at my church. It should be very interesting. She 's the one who was in the Miss Minnesota pageant. You should come.

Also, Nutcracker update. The performances are Dec. 3 @ 7:00, Dec. 4 @ 2:00 and 6:30, and Dec. 5 @ 2:00. Tickets are $12.00. Yes it is expensive but not nearly as much as going down town. And you will know at least one person on the stage. Tickets are going fast, so if you want them, tell me and I will either get you tickets or give you my studio's number. It's at Century High School. I assure you, it'll be a great performance!
