Time Passes Quicker than You Think

Where has this year gone? It seems only yesterday I was rehearsing for Grinch. Now I have graduated and have completed my highschool career at New Vision Dance Center. Today was the last time I danced at NVDC being a student. I danced the senior dance, I cried, I said my goodbyes. However, it doesn't seem like I'm really leaving at all. I mean, I'm taking summer classes, so I'll se a lot of people. But I know that those classes will fly by. I am afraid for my summer. Why? Because I know it'll go by so quickly. I don't want it to, but just thinking of everything I'm doing makes me realize that soon I'll be leaving for Ohio. There is still so much I have to do before I leave. I don't really want to think of all of it.

It hasn't really hit me that today was my last recital with NVDC. Yes I cried, but it still doesn't seem like it's over. I don't really know how I feel. I don't feel sad, but I'm not happy either. I'm just...blah. I am going to miss the studio soo much. I think a part of me has been taken away. I mean to say that without the studio, I don't know what to do with myself. If I wasn't at school rehearsing for plays, I was at the studio dancing. In college, I'll probably have a lot of free time to do something. Hopefully I'll find a good dance studio in Columbus so that I can continue my training. I'm not going to lie, I'm scared for college. I'm scared to be one my own, away from the familiar. Part of me wishes I was going to a college in Oregon so that I could be nearer to my family and friends...possib;y even take classes at the studio still. However, I know that beign away will be good for me. I still don't like it though. I am glad that I'll have friends close by to comfort me. But, man, I am going to miss so many people next year. I need a hug.

I am excited for New York. I am really happy that we get to take a ballet class. I can't wait! I hope I like all the shows we're going to see. I've seen 3 out of the 4 and I hope they are a new and thrilling experience for me.

I love my sister. She is amazing. Absolutely amazing. I wish I could be like her. Not only is she beautiful, but she's kind hearted and loving and smart and my list could go on and on. As I watched her dance today, I thought to myself, "Where is that little girl who danced in the bridal tutu?" Brooke has grown so much. She is a beautiful dancer and a gorgeous young lady. I will miss her dearly next year. I love you Brooke!

This summer will go by quickly and the new school year will creep up like a tiger on its prey. We need to hang out this summer.

I love you all!!!!!
