Trying to Decide

between Central Florida Ballet and a Dance AA.  My mom said to wait until next fall.  I think I want to do the Dance AA, at a community college.  There are people there closer to my age.  I can do it one year then do it in the summer and next semester and be finished before I turn 26.  It's called a Pre-Major, so it implies you study more later at a college somewhere else.  The colleges here don't have it.  If I get thinner, I wonder if I can make it into Juilliard, though I think I am too old.  I'm not sure if I'm doing it, but I hope I get in shape a little more.  I was just out jogging slowly and walking.  I don't eat too much, but when I am hungry I eat.  Now, I feel like going to bed, just looking up stuff and posting on the internet to unwind.  Today, I went with my mom to do some errands.

I'm pretty sure I want to do the dance major at the community college in the fall semester.  I started to audition for this semester, and classes are already filling up.  My shoes were too tight, but I am glad to have another semester off.

Some people just aren't suited to some looks.

"Sex and the City" - African American girl

I saw just her fingers going through something and I thought it was a European and you couldn't tell the difference at all, though she had a very chocolate brown face.  Her fingers looked brown with her whole body, too.

Why do black people think whites can't be black?

I think they are truly jealous of Europeans with lots of culture, certain attractive behaviors.

First Found Theater

I went to a place to take piano, and they also had theater there.  I was already gonna be second to oldest and I didn't wanna quit piano because I knew I'd get more out if it talent-wise and was already praised for my skills in it.  Then, I meet friends who do or do not do whatever kind of music and am glad to be where I am, ahead in a lot of ways.  I sang and was able to accompany 3 musicals.  I couldn't be happier!  I was lucky my first one this boy in drama asked the talented music teacher if I could accompany.  She ended up doing the piano part.  She took out notes that I might've been able to do but didn't give it back when I told her.

I didn't grow up on Slidell Little Theatre, College Arts Prep, nor NOCCA|Riverfront.

I didn't know anything of theater, just children's choir and before gymnastics and ballet.

Less Stress

I'm just going here, to a ballet studio with classes offered to people who are older and not in a company.  I plan to try the advanced classes first and hopefully stick with it.  I have to keep at it if I'm interested.  I think it helps with posture.  So, I can start whenever I want.

I was also thinking of singing, but it takes a totally different person to do.  Charlotte Church is very good and doesn't mess up, but she doesn't also dance or anything.  She's smart.  I have my singing and dancing up on my YouTube,http://www.youtube.com/XChristinaBarrett86X.  The ballet is under the Home Videos playlist.  http://www.youtube.com/user/XChristinaBarrett86X?feature=mhum#g/c/7B83B583BC533C29

Oh well.  I have fun singing sometimes, too.  Another thing is I never feel it's too long when taking a ballet class.  Companies, though, go all day.

The thing with the dance major is I'd have to get in the modern classes to move up in ballet past beginning.  I am not sure, though, I miss singing and my being bigger set would help with that in a way.  It feels good though to get a workout and stretch at ballet.  I'm glad I quit when I did because I didn't so much like jazz and tap and modern taking up ballet time.  It was cute, but I was missing class to sleep.  So I've caught up on sleep by stopping doing things and feel soon I can train in ballet.  It's getting cold out, but I have a warm outfit to work out in.  Singing would sure be fun, though, so I dunno.  I don't want both because it's so hard to begin with and getting enough sleep and all.  I'm not sure if I can start with both and end with one.  It's interesting I noticed that, that it works better just to do singing or just to do ballet.  I don't know about doing it because you never did and it helps with something else because I never was in that situation that I remember so much.

If I do ballet now, I have to stop going to the gym and watching movies so I can focus, but that's okay.

Still Contemplating

I'm still contemplating when I should do ballet classes.  Now, I plan to wait longer to get in shape first.  I dunno?  I can't do the dance program because I don't like the modern dance.  The adult open classes are a bit casual.  I also don't wanna go back to Central Florida Ballet.  I think I have to wait even longer.  I used to not eat enough lunch at school and lost a lot of sleep, though I feel a lot better and like I could work, basically rearranging all the stuff in the garage.  I already got rid of so much random stuff, some stuffed animals, some papers or whatever, etc.
