Yes I know I haven't written in a while but I haven't even really had a chance to scratch myself yet!
These 4 days are the most intense, full on days of my life! We have learnt an hours worth of extreme choreography in 4 days....it doesn't sound like much but when you have a 7 minute swing piece that is at such a fast tempo through out, an indian dance you have no idea about and a spanish that is so fast you have no time to think of what is next you cant help feeling incredibly overwhelmed! I am just keeping my head above water at the moment but I can see the light. I know the steps it is just getting it all to sink in! It was fun today because we had to do our sizes for all these different shoes for the shoe. At the dance studio there's this one huge room full of shoes. There's go go boots, cowboy boots, stiletto heels (and I am talking 6 inches!) There is also 4 different colors of t-bars, pointe shoes, oh wow the list goes on! Its just incredible to think not only do I need to think of the choreography but also how to dance in these shoes!!
I am getting to know my team quite well but I still have my guard up. I find it so difficult to be myself which is frustrating! I guess it has only been 4 or 5 days and it does take a while to get to know people! I cant help being a little paranoid that people are getting annoyed at me but I don't know...it could just me being insecure (which I certainly hope I am being!!)
This job is both mentally and physically exhausting! My body hurts and I hate complaining because we are all in pain. I have two huge bruises on my knees, my calves are killing me and I just wish I could sleep in past 8! 6 day of 9 hour rehearsals are unbelievable....we are certainly earning our pennies!
I don't have much to report other then I am getting better with the whole home sick thing but I do wish I was at home. Obviously its much easier but then again if its easy then its boring! I must say that this is such an experience and I am learning so much from it, everything from cooking to dancing. Its hard but I am getting through it!
I cant wait to just get on the ship and know the material!! One show down, 5 more to go. I hope my brain has a lot of room to remember all this!
Oh wow, 11.20pm...of course! My plan was bed at 8.30...never going to happen! I think I might head to bed! I will certainly keep you updated! Sweet dreams!
