The weather is finally getting warmer and all I want to do is nap in my hammock and play frisbee with the dog.  Unfortunately, I have 4 weeks left of nursing school, 5 weeks until recital and 7 weeks until the ballet.  OH DEAR!  I have listened to my wise father and managed to take one day at a time this entire year.  However, it seems like every important thing in my life is happening all at once.  Hopefully I can stay focused!  I think many people work better under pressure anyway. 

To add to the stress, I am looking for a house to rent in the fall.  My boyfriend finally decided to return to graduate school which means we will actually get to spend time together, a lot of time!  I knew that looking for housing would be time consuming.  I didn't realize it would be disappointing and a little depressing.  Oh well, as Andrew said "something will show itself in time."   Hope everyone out there has a productive week.  Remember, one day at a time : )

From my birthday last year.  Can't wait to spend more time with him <3

It Has Begun!

Giselle rehearsals officially began this weekend.  I think we only have 10 left until the professionals arrive (eeks!).  We started really, really late this year.  Somehow it will come together; it always does.  I'm really excited to be an assistant rehearsal director this year.  Working with the itty bitty girls is challenging but they are sooo adorable.  I'll be posting pictures of rehearsals soon.  Anyone else out there getting ready for a spring/summer show?

I stumbled upon art blogger Alice's page the other day and was so incredibly amazed at some photographs done by Cade Martin.

 
One of my favorite parts of many classical ballets is when the corps lines up along the sides of the stage.  So close to perfect.  This photo really captures that perfection, especially when the classical white romantic tutus are paired with the large circular balloons.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another Cade Martin, titled Peter Pan.  Love the whimsical, minimalist feeling.
