Craziness

It's been a crazy quarter. The little February show got pushed back to early May due to lack of performers, so I caught a little break there. I skipped the Student Night at Chatanoga Restaurant to go see the circus with my friends from college. OVO!!! <3

Then the big March show happened, which was full of insanity. I spent 12 hours running around in the same theater (with almost no sunlight) on the day of the performance. This made me angry and depressed. Three days running, I danced until 11pm, and got home around midnight. This is not my style. Cramming at the last minute may be okay for exams, but this is not how I operate for performances. Either I've got the muscle memory down, or I don't, and the extra hours of rehearsal mere days before a show just makes me pissed off. Oh well.

There are three more shows coming up, but I don't think I can go to any of them. The next one I'll be missing 'cos I'm visiting my cousins in the mountains. After that, it's the little May show right before I go on a long trip, during which time I expect I'll be stressed and pretty busy planning the trip. The third one is in the middle of my trip, so that's right out too. I'm a little sad that I won't be performing, but just learning the choreography is super fun, so that's all right. :)

Speaking of which, I've uploaded a video of the choreography that we're learning at the moment. The song is Studio Ayoub's "Tabla Sukkarah". It's a lot of fun. :)
