2. I really wish I were a LEGIT dancer. I want to be flexible and be able to do all those really cool things that I watch other people do all the time. I'm okay, but I'm not like those super legit people that have been taking dance their whole life and can do anything you tell them. Granted, I feel like I've gotten to do some pretty cool things over the past few semesters that I definitely haven't been "qualified" to do, and I think I've made it work and rocked it 98% of the time. However, there's only so much I can cheat out of my small pool of ability. But then I think about how I took dance until I was 13, and I never was flexible or in the "advanced" class. So I wonder if I ever COULD be flexible- like, if I was going to be able to do the splits I would have done it already, ya know? Or if I was meant to be able to do 11 fouettés I would have known by now.
Currently, I'm okay because I can dance with Singers and do some cool things and pretend I'm legit. Lately I've been wondering what I'm going to do when I graduate and that outlet is gone.
3. Tap. I really like tap. And that is something I feel like I am good at. It is also something I feel like I actually have a chance of getting better at if I wanted. Maybe I'll pursue this in the future? Also, I am very excited that we are doing "Forget About the Boy" again. I love it because I can belt and vent stress and tap it out. FUN.
4. I talked with Tim tonight about our new director. He still doesn't know who it will be, and we probably wont know for a while. I'm worried about it, which I know I shouldn't be, and honestly don't have time to be. (Something to pray about.) He says it is my job to "keep the family together" regardless of what happens.
5. I snapped today. (Great way of "keeping the family together," I know...) I don't think that's happened before. It was the end of choreo weekend rehearsal and we were doing announcements. I said mine, then Mandi talked about costumes, then Kendall said something about making a banner, then Allie was explaining how we were going to do risers. Everyone listened to each of us talk, but when Allie began talking, people completely disregarded what she was saying. They began singing "Theeeeeeeeee" and talking over her. I yelled, "NO." then walked to the center of the room and yelled (over people that were still singing) "WHEN AN OFFICER IS TALKING YOU NEED TO RESPECT THEM." They were quiet after that.
I feel bad about it, but then again I don't. (Is it bad that I don't feel bad?) It was not okay for them to disrespect her and act like she didn't exist. And she was legitimately saying something important. It made me angry, and at the time I didn't know any other way to get everyone to pay attention to her. (It also didn't help that I was tired from the weekend and stressed about school stuff.) In the future I will try to do better. In short, I think it's one of those, "not sorry for what I said, but how I said it" things.
6. Speaking of the show, this semesters specialties include "Fireflies," "Say My Name" (yes, Destiny's Child) and "Party in the USA." March 26 and 27, be there.

by prayer and petition, present your requests to God.
Then the peace of Christ, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
