Happy Birthday to Me!

So yes. today is my 19th birthday! yah! I am going dancing tonight and trashing my ankle for physical therapy tomorrow. ;-) But I really have felt so loved here. I got sung to at Flock last night, a surprise birthday cake from my floor, and more people here have said happy birthday since I got up today than any did within a week of my birthday before this (well besides my parents/family) so yah. It has been good so far and I will put up pictures or something later after my birthday, which I will take my camera to! Tootles~

Hey all!

So, hi all. I am doing okay, besides the fact that I found out on Tuesday that I have tendonitis in (at least) my left ankle and it is getting progressively worse due to all the dancing I have been doing over the past month and a half. I am still dancing and as of next week, I will be down graded to a few social dances and blues dancing. No jazz routines (at least not to Joe's speed of music), no arials (or at least not too many), and yah. so that's kinda a bummer, but I am glad that I can at least keep dancing.

Another positive thing is that I probably will be making Blam! I heard from a little birdie that auditions are more just a formality, which puts me at ease. I have been stressing about them for a while now . . .

And something else fun is I finally took the initiative and set up a birthday party for myself. It's really laid back. I was going to go dancing after audtitions on Monday, and so I just invited friends to come with us. I think it is going to be fun. I am going to enjoy just having so many of my friends together, doing something I love doing.

And, in closing, here is something that I did today because I was bored and wanted to share with you.


Create Your Own!

Hope it gives you a taste of life here. (and yes, I know there are lots of swing pictures, but those are the only ones that I have of life here. . . it's kinda become a big thing to me!) I need to take my camera out more!

Dobro Noc!

Swing!

Hey, so I thought I would post some pictures here (round two with the Blogger to get pics in here correctly)

This is a picture from the Jack and Jill contest at our big dance on Friday. You dance with three different partners and you are judged (I think) on your technique and your stylizations. This was the last round when I was dancing with Travis. I was really excited to have him as my last round partner since we havce danced a lot for Blam practice and just in practice. He is a great partner and lead, as well as blues dancer.

More pics!

I have a few others, but I will wait for now. I have conquered the picture adder thingy!

Yah for me!
