This week had a rough start...here begins my rant...if you don't want to hear me complain, go read something else...
I am injured...I have been for a couple weeks now. Anyone who's known me for a while might remember that boot I had to wear on my foot for 4 months several years ago...it was for my achilles tendon...and it started hurting again. It started hurting really bad.
So, in addition to my pain, I had to think through this stuff...this must be something that I'm going to struggle with forever. This injury is going to haunt me for the rest of my dancing life.
OK, so I am a double major, worst case scenario (being if I couldn't dance) I could drop the dance major and just do arts administration. NO...not only would I hate not being able to dance; I'd lose my scholarship too.
Anyways...my mind has been going crazy all week thinking of all these things. Most of my teachers have been really understanding about it, they have let me turn in notes for a grade and what not, just one teacher has been less than encouraging. She has been counting all the days I had to sit as an absence...even though I've taken notes...I've even sat on the floor and learned he upper body work of the combinations...still not too bad, but the dance department docks a letter grade for every absence over 3.
So basically, I've been working my butt off, doing everything I can for this class...I KNOW the combinations...and yet...I could have just skipped all those classes and taken naps instead and it would have been the same to my grade.
Not to mention the crazy amounts of tests I have had this week! I probably did a really bad job on the ones I had yesterday...mainly because my mind was occupied by how the heck I'm going to get through the next 4 years if this dang achilles doesn't get any better.
Did I mention that one of my best friends wasn't speaking to me all week? Yeah...that happened. I'm not mad, it just would have been a good week to vent all of this to him!
Anyway...on a better note:
Today is Thursday...Thursdays are my favorite.
My achilles is less sore today than usual.
My civilization class for tomorrow was cancelled.
I got a fun package in the mail this week.
I'm coming home 2 weeks from tomorrow for fall break!
