Kristy (dream)

On Tuesday night I had such a horrible dream, of you could call it that, it would probably transfer to nightmare. Anyway, for all of you who don't know who Kristy is here is a little bit of info. Kristy is my dance teacher/friend at my dance studio. She is studying to be a dance teacher as well as a high school teacher. She is really smart (Maths C capable) and is a tutor too. I have known Kristy for something of 6 years now and she has become a very special part of my life. You know how we all say, "oh, such and such is our role model, I want to be just like them! They are amazing! etc" well Kristy is my "real life" role model and probably my only true one! She is a real inspiration to all of us at dancing because she is hardworking, passionate and kind. Unlike my other dance teacher, Kristy doesn't always take the "do this our I will kill you" approach she more takes on "You girls can do this, I believe in you" approach.

My dream was that Kristy died. Yep, horrible right?! Her mum came into dancing on a Wednesday night and was like "Kristy is dead" and everyone was crying. It was horrible, but you know what else?! I didn't. Now mind you, this dream was set in about a week or two's time! Her funeral was one of those open casket ones, where you say your last good byes and whatever. Everyone from my studio, people from school and her family were all their and not one person wasn't crying, except for me. About a week later it was the IDF and we had to perform a 20 and under dance, Ain't no sunshine, which Kristy was in (front center) and we didn't pattern her out. It was a very emotional performance for all of us. But it was especially for me because, if you know the song the first line is, "Ain't no sunshine when shes gone" and we all ended up crying and everything. We also got first place because of the emotion conveyed.

Thats where the dream ended. I think it was one of the most horrible, most depressing dreams I have ever had. Kristy is like my family, she is always their for you and doesn't judge you (that much). Then last night I had dancing with Kristy and every time I looked at her I almost cried and I was like "please don't die". I was in that state for 3 hours. To make it worse she kept talking to me and helping me out with everything which made me even more upset, because only Kristy really cares about helping me! GAH! I am seriously on the verge of tears right now! But I can't cry cause I am at school and thats not allowed!

So I am going to go now because I feel horrible, am about to cry and really don't want to keep thinking about such an amazing person dying!

I love you Kristy! Not in a weird way, in a sister way! You will always hold a special place in my heart!

Dance Eisteddfod :(

That was an eventful weekend....

I am dead! Completely and utterly dead!

After school on Friday me and Bree caught the train into somewhere *evil giggle* and went to ICTDF. We ended up watching our sisters dance 3 times, which was great, they are PRETTY good :D Then I decided I wanted to go on Saturday as well! I missed one dance because I didn't wake up early enough! I was there from about 10am to 10pm. It went crazily late but t was fun!! I got to look after Bree's baby brother beau whom I love very very much.

Sunday rolled around and that meant it was my dancing! It was awesome! We only had 15 and unders which was... thank OZ! So I had 5 dances. We arrived at 7.30ish and would arrive home after everything at about 9.30pm. We actually got a mention with our street tap, Jump n Move, we got Highly Commended. Which is alright considering that there was only 2 HC and a 1st given out.

Yesterday was 20's, which I am in too! So I had 6 dances. I ended up smashing my knee in Pacman (contemporary) and it kills to walk or to even put pressure on it. We didn't get any places or anything yesterday. Which was sad, although our acro group got 3rd! Which was VERY exciting for all of us!

The adjudicator was such a loser! She had no idea about Hip Hope, Tap or contemporary to judge them properly! I mean the tap that won our section were doing hit springs and really strong arms and they WON!! It's crazy I say! The people who placed in our Hip Hop section weren't any better, they were doing jazz with some popping and they won! Ours was actually hip hop! She has no idea about modern dancing. She is old, which probably means that she is old school.... GAH! Oh well! We can only do better next time and hope for the best!

Moral: I am dead! SO completely dead! My muscles are hurting, my bruises are killing. My knee hurts so much, my head aches and I am getting a cold. The adjudicator is a loser, we have improved and I can't wait for next eisteddfod.

 I would have written more but I really am not in the head space to be thinking about what to write so much right now!

I LOVE YOU ALL!! xx

P.S leave comments and I will be your friend ;D

Dance Eisteddfod

Today is officially the first day of the ICTDF and I am nervous, to say the least. As I have said in my 1000 last posts I have hurt my ankle really badly. I have been stressing out about dancing at this eisteddfod for the last week and to make matters worse my stupid dance teacher blames me for hurting it! She seems to think that I did it on purpose just to annoy her or something! Does she even realize that I don't want to be hurt? ARGH! Last night was our last rehearsal for WP and I had to dance, or I would be kicked out. My teacher, Kristy (nice one) told me that I could just mark and everything so that I didn't do anymore damage and that I would be fine for the eisteddfod. But oh no! Thats not happening with Carlie! She got up me for everything that I didn't do full out... like getting all the way to the ground, doing a knee drop (over your toes), not doing tap steps cause I couldn't... It's just so irritating... and then to make even more worse she threatened to take me out of the eisteddfod 3 times! I can't freaking help it!

Anyway, I have a contemporary and hip hop dance for school tonight and I am nervous that I can't do it because I worked on my ankle last night. I am going to do it no matter what, I just don't want it to be worse!

I don't know what to do...

Wish me Luck :S

*CRIES*

Here I sit, in English class, trying to concentrate but not really. We are only learning about short story writing, and I am pretty good at that myself anyway. I feel so tired and sore, my ankle is causing me so much pain (it feels like I am being stabbed repeatedly and then set on fire), my head is killing me (I am getting a cold) and none of this is helpful for my situation right now. I'll explain why I feel everything I am feeling.

I am tired because I had a sleepover on Saturday night. It was a studio sleepover, for all the 15 unders at dancing. We stayed up until 4.30am watching dance concert DVD's, practicing dance hair and discussing our upcoming eisteddfod. It was an amazingly fun night. We had pizza, coke, skittles, lollies, tim tams, chips and popcorn. That is why I am tired, well actually exhausted today.

I am sore because I had dancing for 6 hours yesterday. It was exhausting and extremely painful even though I didn't really do all that much (nothing hard out because of my ankle).

My ankle is killing because I danced on it yesterday. I know right, stupid? But I really had to dance! We have an eisteddfod this Thursday to Monday and I REALLY need to practice! GAH! It was stupid but at least I know my dances now, right? :D

Don't even ask why I am getting sick! I am angry and emotional about it! I HAVE AN EISTEDDFOD! PISS OFF! GAH! ANNOYING!

I am leaving cause I am angry and my head hurts from looking at this screen and thinking to much! See ya guys :) xx <3

Dancing Thoughts

I made this in a comment on my friend Liana's blogger account but I thought I might make my own post about it since I was really angry about it.

On Saturday afternoon I had my first netball game EVER! I was petrified because I am really bad at netball (no matter what my height is!). I think I did pretty well... got pulled up for stepping and obstruction twice. I did intercept a few passes, which I was happy with. Anyway to the point, I hurt my ankle! There, that was the main point, I hurt my ankle! I have no idea how, or when but I did.

I had jazz (full on) on Wednesday and we are preparing for our first eisteddfod which is next Friday to Monday (4th-7th May). We are in full rehearsal mode at the moment, working on ONLY dances and stuff, no technique classes. It's crazy mad at dancing at the moment! We have 11 dances, 4 of which are only just, or not even finished yet! It's nuts. So, with my hurt ankle and all I found it really hard to dance. I told my dance teacher and she practically said "You shouldn't be playing netball. If you play again you probably cant do the eisteddfod" I cracked up laughing in her face and was like "hahahaha, I am doing the eisteddfod whether I hurt my ankle or not!!" and walked away. 

From then on I felt like she was targeting me for some reason. If I did something wrong she was on me so quick I couldn't even think. Also, I wasn't doing all the steps properly because I couldn't put so much pressure on my ankle and she would like kill me for it! It was really horrible!

GAH!! So end of story there! My ankle is still killing me! I think I may die! But other then that, I hope everyone is having a great day! I love you all! xoxox

Weekend of Dance

So this weekend I had no life... It's as simple as that! On Saturday I danced for 7 hours (from 10 to 5) and after I was EXHAUSTED! Then on Sunday, I woke up at 9, tried to start my english oral thats due today, managed to get 400 words out of 1000 done, then I had dancing for another 2 hours (from 4 to 6). I think dancing over the weekend for that long is crazy to begin with, but then when you don't get your school work done on top of that... I had a total (last week) of

Monday: Ballet (6.30pm-8.30pm) {2 hours}
Tuesday: Senior Elite [school] (3.00pm-5pm) {2 hours}
Wednesday: Jazz (5pm-9pm) {4 hours}
Thursday: NONE!
Friday: Senior Elite [school] (7.30am-8.30am) {1 hour}
Saturday: Groups (10am-5pm) {7 hours}
Sunday: Tap (4pm-6pm) {2 hours}

Total = 18 hours

Normally I would have 10 hours... Plus I have netball training and work in there as well! It's just lucky that I love it so much!

Signing off... got to try and get more of this assignment done! :)

Have a great day!!
