i'm in love with arabian

nutcracker was this weekend. oh my goodness, i miss it already. the floor on one side of the stage was extremely slippery every night and it really sucked. a lot of people fell during the dress rehearsal and almost everyone slipped in that spot in one of the performances. but all in all it was good. i actually stuck my ponche both nights in arabian, not all the other girls were able to. and i didn't hurt myself majorly. ok, i have a burn on my toe from rubbing it on the floor but that's nothing new. i always end up doing that when i'm in bare feet or close to it. but i was sorta nervous that i would pull my hamstring again or something. but no injuries :) and the timing in arabian is crazy especially when you're on the end and everyone else is behind you. in some ways it would be a lot easier if it was a solo. then they videotaped it this afternoon and oh my goodness, when i went up to the front at one part in arabian the camera was like two feet away. that was entertaining. but amazingly my feet don't hurt at all. i'm actually really sad that it's over. it was a lot of fun this year. and i'm in love with arabian. it's so my kind of dance - it's so like 'let's see how long you can sit in the splits and how much you can twist your body' and i love the challenging flexibility in it. i think i'm going to beg miss arnell to let me have arabian next year again and i think she'll let me. seriously, i'm so sad it's over.

crazy things have been going on at my house the past couple days. our furnance broke yesterday so our house was very cold. clarenceville felt very warm compared to my house. and our roof is leaking again. like the roof we replaced this summer so it wouldn't leak. then my dad had to run sound at church this morning. i like it when he runs sound cuz then i get to hang out behind the sound board with him and help. but someone had called the other day while he was at work and asked if he could help clean up the communion stuff after the second service. so he calls the guy back to tell him he can't do it since we weren't staying for the second service because of nutcracker and he's told that he's already on the schedule to do it even though he never agreed to it. my dad wasn't too happy about that. and now my neighbor is rather annoyed. ok more like pissed over some stupid accident while my dad was chopping ice off the roof. and it kinda sucks. he's always treated me like one of his grandkids, i mean i basically grew up with them. his oldest grandkid is a year younger than me and all through elementary school whenever she was next door we would hang out. it's so strange that he completely flipped out. and so all this has kinda put my dad in a bad mood and that's never fun. i just hope something happens and things get back to normal.

lauryn imed me the other day. she might be coming home like june or july. i may not be able to see her while she's home. i'm still hoping to go to camp for 4 weeks this summer, and i think i'll be able to, so that's all of july. then becca (my cousin) is graduating this year so we're going down to florida for part of june for her graduation and all that fun stuff. not that i'm complaining about goind to florida or camp. i absolutely adore it at camp and it's florida - always nice for a tan :) but there's a chance i won't be around while lauryn is home. i'm not sure how i feel about that yet.

one day of classes and exams and then the semester is over. wow. how exciting is that?
