Back to school...

@

Well, well. Back in Stavanger. Danced at a new years concert on sunday. We did the coda variation from the nutcracker (sugarplumfairy, Clara and flowerfairy. the snow queen was on holliday in Australia. Lucky...) and I did my sugarplum variation, but we addapted it to fit a piece of music from the ballet "Faust". The orcestra that was playing at the concert played that live. I made a new costume for it, and I will post pics of it soon when my dad sends them to me.. We also danced a sort of jazz/salsa thing to the final number with the orcestra. It went really well, except for the coda variation. The floor was soooo slippery and even though we had sprayed our pointe shoes with hairspray, it was extreme! Maria (flowerfairy) even fell.. Not fun in front of 500 people... I almost fell as well.. Not a nice thing...

I got the night train back sunday night, and it turned out that I got to ride on an "extra train". And that was not the regular night train that they use. It was a really old train that made a lot of noice and was not very comfertable.. So I did not get too much sleep, really... And when I woke up in the middle of the night, I had a fever! And I still had one when I got home on monday morning, so I did not go to school then. Such a bummer, because I was really looking forward to dancing. But I went today and it was sooo much fun! Had some trouble following modern, because they learnt a lot yesterday. But our jazz class was sooo cool!!! Since it is just us girls for jazz now, we have got a lot more chalenging exercises. It was really hard, but it is so much fun to really have something to work hard on. It is sort of matt mattox based since our jazz teacher has her diploma in that style. I bet I am going to be really sore tomorrow.

Then we found out that our music/dance history teacher was ill, so we had the rest of the day off. Hurra!!!! Have got a lot done: have made a washing rota for our house for bathrooms, kitchen and living room, I have started to defrost my little freezer, I have organized all my "hobby stuff" and now updated my blogg! Quite proud of myself...

Oh, well, better go do something else constructive...
