New Post and Everything In Between.

Hi everyone!

I know I haven't updated in a really long time, so I thought today would be the day. Today I am at home, sick. I am feeling a lot better than I was this morning, which is saying something. I didn't have a fever but my stomach really hurt and I had a bad headache. I had some Cop of Noodles for lunch today and some cookies for dessert, but that's about it. For dinner tonight I am having pork chops made on the grill.

To get to the more important stuff, two weeks ago I had an audition for The Nutcracker. Yesterday was my day of doom when I would get my casting call. To my surprise, I had landed the role of a party girl! I am very lucky to get that part because I am on stage for a while, and I get a beautiful costume! Not to mention I have five performances and all of them will be on pointe! Lately in class, I have been landing triple pirouettes and most of them are on pointe. I start rehearsals next week some time and I have a costume fitting soon too!

I started school three weeks ago and I have made some new friends. Halloween is coming up soon and I still haven't decided what I am going to be. I just began to read The Fellowship Of The Ring. If I finish by the time Halloween comes, I might be a hobbit. Plus, I have extremely hairy feet which adds to the whole effect. A lot of people have been talking about Halloween at my school, so they must be doing something fun for it.

Ballet wise, I got a pair of Freed Studio pointe shoes a little while back. I have already broken them and I adore them! I am not sure whether I am going to stay with them because they break down really quickly. My teacher prefers us to all have Russian Pointe, which is a brand I have already been fitted in and I really like. I wouldn't mind going back to them actually. I think I am going to get them a week or so before my first performance of The Nutcracker. That way I can break them in a bit and get used to them.

Sorry for all my rambling today! I am going to try to do at least a post every few days, but it is really hard with school. I hope you enjoyed my post today. Comment below of some ideas to post about later and I will try to do them!

Formally Me,
Nina
