Saturday: We had a full day of dancing which is rare. I don’t remember the last time I danced on a Saturday. It’s not sacred or anything. Just felt a little weird. It definitely threw my body clock for a weird spin. Later, Sarah and Gusta fell off the face of earth so Madge and I were sitting around in the dorm wondering what we could do. We didn’t want to do anything crazy and we had no car. We took out our packets that were given to us at the beginning of the program and we found that there was a student union with a BOWLING ALLEY in it! So we went bowling. It was fun!



Sunday: FRISCO! Besides the fact that we got lost once and it took us a good 4 hours to get there, frisco was beautiful and spectacular. The weather was perfect. The city was perfect. The day was perfect. We parked at fisherman’s wharf and took a cable car to union square where we spent the majority of the day. My favorite part was when I found a little music store upstairs through some weird door and it was sheet music heaven! They had everything. I bought the Wild Party. I know... I’m bad. BUT I HAD TO! Anyways, we took the cable car back up, but we stopped once in Chinatown. That place is awesome too. 59 cent boba. Yum. Then we went back to the wharf, did some last minute shopping, and then went to go pick up Dawn in Castro. I LOVE CASTRO! If I could, I would live there. It’s gay town and ya’ll know how much I love the gays! People are lovers there. I love it. Dawn got us back on the freeway. I’m not sure how many U-turns we took, but we took a lot of them. The ride home was so much fun for me. I’m not sure if it was for anyone else but we got to pick apart Dawn’s brain and also show the side of us that we don’t show during dance class. I had too much energy and Madge was getting mad at me. I was playing all my favorite Janet songs off my ipod to keep everyone awake and I was singing at the top of my lungs. It was all for Gusta. She had a long drive home and I knew my job was to keep her awake. Then the 99 came to a complete stop at around 10:15 at night. That was definitely interesting. So we got back at about 11:15. YAY!






























Monday: Just another dance day. The days are going by faster. We learned the basics of break dancing today. It was pretty insane. I need some more practice. And the biggest news yet—NICK knows my name now! He said it in class today. I was so happy. Can I just say that? Cause I’m pretty quiet. I don’t really mosey in with the in-crowd. So the fact that he knows my name is pretty amazing.



Today: It’s getting closer and closer to our performance day and they are working us hard. I had a problem with my stomach this morning so I’ve been holding off on certain foods. My bad foot also started acting up today. It gave me a scare but I’m still dancing on it. So hopefully I’ll be okay the rest of the week. Dawn taught her last technique class today. Made me super sad. I love her classes. Aaron has tomorrow and Nick has Thursday. Aaron and Dawn leave Friday after the performance which is SUPER sad. They’ve made the experience so memorable.

I think the struggle now is to keep going. We know the steps, we know where to go, we know what we have to do. It’s now up to us to make it look good, to dance it to our full potential, and to not half-ass it.

Whew… that was a lot.

This week is gonna go by fast. I feel it. I’m going to make the most of it. Starting with a shower and a good sleep. Peace out homies!
