New, improved blogg!


So here is my first post on my new blogg. I have had some trouble with my old one, so I figured it was time to let that one go... I will keep this one updated so that you will se what I am up to.

Well, I really enjoying my time here at the university. We have a lot of interesting subjects. If you are interested (which you may not be, but I will put it here anyway), this is my timetable:

Friday:

10.15-11.45 Jazz
12.30-2.30 Choreography/Improvisation

So that is my week. Our training is really good and everyone gets a lot of corrections and stuff. I feel like I have gotten a lot stronger. When we have dance in the morning, we have been told to be at school by at least 8am to warm up and stuff. I am usually there between 7.45 and 8. Depends on how tired I am... But I always make sure to have a good warm up before we start. It makes such a big difference! It is not like they check if we are there early or not, but they do expect us to be there and take responsibility for our own bodies.

We had a half term holliday last week. I was supposed to fly back yesterday, but my flight was canceled so I had to be booked on one today instead. So I missed one day of school. I hate that. Oh, well. My attendance is very good this far, and it is not like it is my fault... Cant wait to start again tomorrow, though! I love ballet on mondays and tuesdays because some of us are allowed to wear pointe shoes for the entire class. It is so extremely strengthening!! Cant wait!!!
