FRIDAY! whooohooo! On Fridays, the dance department allows colorful leotards, so I pulled out my single non-black leo my mom got me (thanks mom!) And walked to class at 9 am. Modern was good, ballet was good, pointe was short, orientation to dance was good. Had lunch with my new friend Sierra then headed to a dance audition. I went for the experience and I'm so glad I did! It was for the fancy modern ensemble called Synergy. Modern is an interesting style.

Cindy told me a Senior Recital wasn't required, but encouraged. It was good practice for auditions, stress and pressure management :) ;) and it was a good motivator to practice. 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...
