Now that I've gotten my complaints about school out of the way, I can blog about happy things. Yesterday to celebrate the half-way mark through our Sophomore year (wow that's wierd)!

I'm so glad I did it, even if it did seem overwhelming at times. I really started to love the flute during the months leading up to the recital. It was exciting to have something to work for and know that soon I could show what I'd been doing for so many years. I worked hard, but wasn't always the most dedicated student. Priorities often put flute behind school and ballet. Dance is my true passion and has been for so many years, but music has helped with dance and I'm thankful for the balance fl...
