A Job, Ballet, and everything in between


So, it's finally Friday! This week has gone by super slow (but in a good busy way).   This week was my first full week of classes and they are going very well. (I just can not procrastinate this semester! ) I also was able to add a ballet technique class to my schedule. I love the class so much and feel that I have already learned a lot just in the past two classes. But between a jazz technique class and ballet twice a week; my poor body is so sore. I look like an old lady trying to walk up stairs. Hopefully this will only last for the first few weeks.  Wednesday I had a job interview at the Dance Building and got the job!!!!! I'm so excited, I thinks its going to be a great opportunity for me. Yesterday, was our first away football game. We played against Vandy, and beat their butts 17 to 13!!! :D I enjoyed the game with a bunch of friends from church. This is how we watch the game (pictures below)....... yes..outside on the roof. (We are just that cool) We had a great time cheering on the Gamecocks! This coming week will be the first home game...and this girl right here is pumped! 
Thanks goodness for this long holiday weekend!! I get to catch up on sleep and hopeful get some homework done early! I'll be starting my new job (hopefully) this Wednesday!
 Hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend and a great week!

Note: I just got out of ballet class. I usually don't walk
around in black leggings. :)

Getting Back into the Swing of Things

Tuition  is paid, dorm is decorated, and friends are back. 
I'm so excited to be back at USC and so ready for this year! I don't start classes until Thursday, so I have the next few days to get back into the swing of things.  I'm so grateful that I was able to room with my awesome roommate from last year. Wouldn't know what I would do with out her! And we also have awesome suite-mates this year!! I'm not looking forward to walking to classes in this humid and hot weather, but that's good ol' South Carolina for ya! I'm really excited about my classes this semester. But next semester I'll have to declare a major and I'm not really sure what I want to major in anymore. So I have a lot of thinking and figuring out to do this semester. Dance is still a big part of  me and I still plan to open a studio of my own....but I want to have another job to fall back on.

Here are some pictures of my new dorm :) 









CLASSES AND FIRE ALARMS

I had a wonderful first two days of classes! Thursday was super busy. I had an 8 o'clock class then a job interview right after that. I ended up not getting the job, but I got a call for another interview for a job at the USC Dance Conservatory...so fingers crossed this one will work out! Thursday I also had two other classes after my interview and those went really well too. I really like my professors so far. Friday I only had one 9 o'clock class then after that I came back to the dorm and crashed only to wake up to a fire alarm! :/ So my bed is lofted up to the celling, that way I can have my desk under my bed to save room. Well when the fire alarm went off, it scared me to death because the alarm is right beside my bed. So I almost killed myself trying to get off my bed. I tear my PJ pants off and throw on my jeans that are way to big (cuz I was not going to go outside in my PJs...fire or no fire!) but didn't have time to fool with my belt. So I grab my keys and run out the door. 
As I'm quickly going down the stairs I'm having to hold my jeans up because they are falling off my butt! THEN I REALIZED....I had put a green face mask on before I took a nap...and still had it on my face! And I didn't put it on my whole face (at least that would have looked normal) but no I only had one BIG green spot on my forehead. I was so embarrassed. 

So this has been my week...hopefully next week won't be so dramatic. ;) I'll try to update as much a possible.
