NEWS NEWS NEWS AND MORE NEWS!!!!
Hey guys!!!
Okay. I haven't posted in a REALLLLLLLLLLLY long time and I have about a BILLION things to say so I'm just going to put it all in bullets...
-Okay, remember way back when when I took that horrible evil Kaplan course to prep for the test for NYC's specialized high schools? Because I really wanted to get into this one school Stuyvesant in Manhattan which is ridiculously hard to get into?
I got in.
I am MUCHO excited and I went to the excepted people open house last night and I love it. True, I will have to take the ferry and the subway and walk every morning and afternoon, but I have one friend who got into Stuy with me and a ton of friends who got into this school LaGuardia in Manhattan and there are two all boys schools in the city that a ton of people tak the ferry to get to so I'll have PLENTY of company.
-Next item on the agenda, I'm going to CTY again this summer!!!! I got into Critical Essay Pop Culture at Dickinson College (Carlisle, PA), which was my first choice. At this point I'm happy I got into anything because I got all of these emails saying I didn't get into any courses one day and I got so upset because I thought I wouldn't be able to go to CTY but then we called them and it turned out that their computers were screwed up and I got my real assignment in the mail. Where are all of you guys going, if anywhere?
-More good news!!!! I FINALLY got my dad to let me take MORE DANCE CLASSES!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Now in addition to jazz and lyrical on Thursdays, I take tap on Thursdays, Classical and Pointe on Mondays, and I demonstrate for the younger kids on Saturdays (all of whom are extremely annoying). I'm so happy!!!!! And I already got my pointe shoes!!!!! They're so pretty- Gala by Prima Soft. I'm kind of confused in tap because I'm in the advanced class and I haven't taken tap in 9 years, but my teacher breaks stuff down for me and whatever, so it's not that bad. And I'm a fast learner.
-My show was AWESOME!!!!!! It was so much fun!!! Ditto the cast parties afterward. Things are so crazy backstage. Someone's clothes are always missing, people are dancing, you just never know. Geena Bee was kind enough to agree to post some pictures for me, but I haven't emailed them to her yet (which I PROMISE I will do soon, Geena!!!).
-I'm addicted to two songs right now. "Listen" from Dreamgirls and this song "Touch Me" from the Broadway show Spring Awakening. You can play it at myspace.com/springawakeningonbroadway. Also, has anyone heard the new Fall Out Boy song (This Ain't a Scene... yada yada yada) or the song "Face Down" by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (wierd band name, right?)? And I'm really into John Legend right now because it's all my dance teacher ever plays for warm-up. Well, that and the soundtrack to Flashdance, which I also love.
-And lastly, who here has seen the Shoes video on YouTube? Isn't it HYSTERICAL!!!!!! My friend showed it to me at dance one day while she was checking her MySpace in the office. Just go to YouTube and search "shoes" if you haven't and it's like the first hit. But I wouldn't watch it while your parents are right behind you because there's a lot of cursing at the end.
Okay. I think that is the end to my rant. ;-D
Miss you all terribly!!!

i haven't heard listen or touch me, but the song by FOB is on the radio all the time! i don't like it that much but omfgz i am in love with face down by the red jumpsuit apparatus! its in a lot of movies too. the band is amazing!
ahahahh shoes by kelly right? my friend showed me on the bus she was laughing so hard. i almost snorted. it was so random and funny and weird all in one :) oh god that guy kelly is an oddball :D
Stuy IS a public school. It's just part of the specialized high schools so you have to take a special test to get in. And I DO want to go there.
AHHH CONGRATS!!!! with EVERYTHING! good job especially with the school, that sounds SO amazingly fun to go to a school in manhattan. i think you will have a blast. :D i am so proud of you m.e. :D
hehehe shoes scared me SO much the first time i saw it, i pretty much swore off youtube for two weeks. now everyone at my school imitates it and it is getting a bit annoying, but it is really fun to talk all fake-girly like kelly does. "you know what BETCH? ..." heheheh :)
PS. this is my first comment ever in a few months!! woohoo exciting, and there's no more word verification! (although those were pretty fun sometimes)
