Sunnys summer!!!

Well, well. I guess I would give you all a little update on my summer so far, if you are interested. If you are not, I will write it anyway ;)
Went one week with Malene to London. We had such a great time!! Spent way to much money, though... Took classes at pineapple and stuff as well. Lots of fun to see great dancers and get inspired!!

The week after, I started my summerjob. I work at a graveyard, actually. It might sound a bit wierd, but it is actually very nice. I work from 7am to 3pm monday to friday. It is kind of hard to get up at 6am, but I am getting used to it. Besides, it is so nice to finish early so that I can spend the rest of the day doing whatever I want:) I mostly cut the grass and take care of the flowers on the graves. There are a lot of people who pay us to take care of the flowers and stuff on their loved ones gravesites. I also get to drive a big lawnmover quite a lot. The big one where you sit on top and stuff. Soooo much fun to do! Although it is quite easy to drive into gravestones and stuff. Not so much fun when that happens... This week it has been raining almost all the time, so me and another girl have been cleaning inside a couple of churches around here. Other than that, we have been pushing the lawnmovers around, getting very wet ;)



I attended a dance course last weekend at my first dance school (La Salle de Danse) that was taught by Philip from the norwegian version of "So you think you can dance". It was so much fun! We learned a really nice lyrical combination in the jazz class and in the end, I got to dance alone with him! OMG! Soooo cool!!! (see picture....)

When I am not at work, I spend my time either at Extend (my old dance school) or at home sewing costumes. I have my sewing machine and stuff at Extend and we have rigged up a couple of big worktables there. Costume production for the nutcracker 2007 are in full swing. It is soooo much to do that I have no idea how we are going to manage getting it all finished... Today I spent 4 hours decorating the showprince costume. It is turning out quite nicely, I think... I guess there will also be some rehersals coming up for the nutcracker. I am dancing the snow queen pas de deux and the arabian dance. I am also going to dance Clara in a couple of performances!!! I am soooooo excited about that!!! I just found out about it a couple of weeks ago, so it was a very nice surprise! Cant wait!!!

So to sum up, my days are filled with my job and sewing. Have not really had much time for anything else... And the time fly by so quickly... Before I know it, school will be starting! Am actually looking forward to that, but am more concerned about getting most of the costumes done by the end of the summer. So with that in mind,better get back to pleating the tulle for the flower fairy tutu ;)
