Its 10.30pm on my day off and I am ready for bed! A day in the California sun can really take a lot out of you (and in my case make me resemble a tomato! I promise I put on sunscreen dad!) I cant believe I have only been here for 2 weeks...it seems like I have been away for a couple months already!
It is so intense here I find it's just so exhausting! Last night (being Saturday night) all my house mates were out socializing and drinking while I stayed in the apartment and cleaned! Wow...how I have changed! I haven't been making the effort I should to socialize but when you are with the same people day in and day out it is nice to have some quiet time!!
This week has been full on but I know I am in for the most stressful week of my life!
On tuesday night after learning two very intricate dances the "new hires" (including myself) decided to head down to the gym to practice. This week we were introduced to a new teacher Cindy...or as I like to call her 'the b**** from hell,' after a defeating day we wanted to show her just what we were made of! At about 11pm we decided to call it a night but not before me begging for one more practice, I pushed it that one step too far and after an enthusiastic side ball change came down on my ankle. Needless to say I was off to the doctors the next morning and was put in a splint and was under a strict no rehearsals until my follow up appointment on Monday. Boy...that put a spanner in the works!
Crap!
I am now 3 days behind...or to put it another way 4 dances (including one very hard partner routine) and one entire show behind. As they say the show must go on and Monday is the start of a new performance! Whoa! I think now is the time to read the courage book Teneille bought me! Hehe! Or as my boss at Knight Frank says...FOCUS!!!
As well as all the dancing that goes on I am also trying to get used to my room mates and fellow dancers. I still haven't quite figured everyone out because just as I think I have they then change on me! Its really difficult because when we board the ship we will have a room mate and you clearly don't want to choose the wrong one! Hrm.... I think I will just sit and observe hehe!
The cooking and cleaning is going well. I am actually quite impressed with my domestic abilities! I appreciate moms obsessiveness about cleaning so much more now! At home I was able to escape my messy room but in our tiny apartment it's a little hard so I find I am so clean and get so frustrated at my VERY messy room mate! Oh mom will be so proud! I also cant believe how expensive groceries are! Seriously for my weekly food shop I could of bought a dress. Pft....what a waste of money! Hehe!!
Aching to board the ship...well even just fly to Vancouver to see the family and have a drink ... legally! Its about 11 days until we do that but for now I just have to work my butt off!
I best be getting a good night sleep in preparation for the week a head and to prepare myself for Cindy (grr even mentioning her makes me mad!) Wish me luck! I will let you know how it goes!
Sleep well
