1 down, 4 to go!

Week one of CPYB is done! It's been such an informative week and I'm so sore! I really love my classes though. I have the same schedule everyday, just different instructors depending on the day and the week. Two of my favorite teachers so far are Melinda Howe, choreographer, and Bruce Thornton from Miami City Ballet! :) I feel like one large, swollen bruise but it's nothing some good icing can't fix. I can't see much improvement yet, but I definitely feel it in my muscles! I can't wait to see what I feel like after five weeks haha hopefully I get stronger instead of more sore... But at this rate it will probably be both ;P

Severe weather alerts!

I got my schedule Sunday night! I have to be up at 7:00 so I can put my hair in a bun and eat a quick breakfast to be out the door no later than 8:00 for the 40 minute drive to the studio. Classes start at 9 am and I'm not done until 8 pm most nights.
Day 2 had two technique classes, one pointe class, and flash flood warnings! I am currently sitting in the Dickinson College Union waiting out the rain because they won't let anyone leave until it lets up a little bit. It's been an exciting and crowded couple of days to start it out. I hope this isn't a bad omen. ._.

Registration Day

My room in Chambersburg, PA--I'm off campus because these wonderful people needed a house sitter for five weeks and I needed to be in PA for five weeks. It worked out perfectly!

We arrived safe and sound to our house in Chambersburg yesterday, and today is when it all begins. There is registration in the morning, orientation this afternoon, and a welcome dinner this evening. And it all ends with a concert by the year round Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet Dancers. Going to be a long, busy, busy day!

Leaving today!

We start the trek to Pennsylvania this afternoon! I also found out that Abby is coming with us for the first couple of weeks!! That will make it easier to adjust to not being home for so long certainly haha So, Mom has a meeting at 3:00 and as soon as she gets out, we pack up the van and head for eastern Ohio where we plan to spend the night to finish the traveling on Friday morning. I'm starting to get nervous, but also really excited that this is starting! I'll keep you guys updated when classes begin. :)
