Whew. This has been a *mostly good* emotional week for me. Several things have happened, and it's kind of hard to decide where to start. :D
I guess I should start by telling you that last Tuesday I quit dance. Yup. I've been dancing for nine years, and I quit. Hopefully, I'll be able to start back up next fall though, so it's only temporary. This was a very, very hard decision for me to make. But I've been terribly overwhelmed with school, and have been having a hard time keeping up in most of my studies. This was really the only thing that I could possibly drop. So, while I am sad to not be dancing, I'll be back next fall. And now I hope it will be easier to keep up in school. So long for now dance! I'll miss you a lot!
Also, I've been preparing for a state oratory contest for several weeks, and traveled to Little Rock Saturday to give my [seven minute] memorized no-notes speech. It went fairly well-- I won. But there were only two of us, so it's not like I beat out a room full of people. Which makes the next step super scary. --Nationals will have anywhere from 20-40 people competing.
The down side of this is, I don't get to go to Summer Excitement this year because I will be at nationals in Florida. This is the first time in three years I won't go to SE.
Last bit of new info: I'll be speaking tomorrow at the 40 days for life kick off rally, in the Planned Parenthood parking lot if Fay-town. It's the same speech as the one for Little Rock, but I'm adding a new ending specifically for the event. It should be fun!
Well, now I'm going to go crash. Sorry this is a kind of boring post.
Toodles.
