I seem to be going through another period of self-hate and general moodiness. It's odd, because it's more sunny outside, and really what S.A.D. I have should be clearing up. Ireland seemed to clear up my general apathy for awhile, but it's come back with force. Spring break starts tomorrow, and I have a trip to London planned out. Momma's coming in about a week, so that'll be good at least.
I hate being so broken all the time. I always seem to have a cold, or injury, or something. Right now my feet are acting up again, which isn't helping my mood because it means I can't go out for walks in the sunshine, nor can I dance. I can't even soak my feet properly because we don't have any pots big enough. I end up having to clean and put away all the dishes so I can sit on the counter and put my feet in the sink, and that only works sometimes. Between my feet, buggy head/migraines, and sucky moods, I'm not the best of company right now for my friends (who themselves are stressing out over exams), which means I'm left to entertain myself quite a bit, which means I get nothing done because I'm lazy.
So yeah, bleh.

CGD update
The show was a blast! Lots of things went wrong, but overall it was so much fun. I'm still recouperating, though :P As for how Mark & I did, we won the judges high score, and after the audience vote we were tied with another couple. However, after the tie brake vote from the judges, the other couple won. It was still great, though. As our piece was a lyrical, romantic ballet piece, it's pretty easy to see why the other couple won... they simply out-flashed us with a perkier, showier dance. Oh well. But yeah, I'd forgotten my camera, so I didn't get any backstage pictures, but I will be getting the DVD and hopefully some pictures from the night from friends.
Right now I still have a lot on my plate: planning a trip to London for spring break, planning for when my mom comes, studying for two quizzes coming up this week, doing a paper due on Friday, and studying for exams in general. Oh, and finding a ticket back to Cali! At this point I'm aiming to come home mid-late June (around the 20th or so, methinks) so that I can (finally) get some sun! Chances are I'll spend the entire summer poolside at the hotel or sunbathing in the back yard. Years of getting no sun, and then this year in Ireland, have turned me white :P I miss my tanness.
Anywho, it's St. Patrick's Day, and I have nothing to do. The pubs and stuff will be crazy because there's a huge rugby game going on, and I just don't like the crowds. There's a parade and festival going on, but I don't really want to go to that, either, since it's mostly just a tourist trap. So, what am I doing in Ireland on Paddy's Day? Moping around home, cooking corned beef & cabbage & potatoes for dinner, and cleaning my room. Bah humbug. I'm tempted to play third wheel and tag along with Dan and his buddies, but I'd be the only girl and that'd be kinda odd. I don't want to go out with Tara, because she just annoys me, and Jess is not going out tonight. Oh well, TV specials and cleaning it is, then.

Clubs Go Dancing
Well, tonight is the big performance! And, as usual, I have a cold just in time for the show, go figure. In it, I'll be doing three ballet pieces, a bellydance piece, and competing with my partner, Mark, who is from badminton club.
The idea for the competition is based off of Strictly Come Dancing, or Dancing With the Stars as the yanks would know it ;). A "professional" dancer is paired up with a "celebrity" and teaches them a dance routine. Mark and I are doing ballet, and yes, he is wearing tights.
The past few weeks have been crazy, and especially the past day or two. I was in charge of publications, so I designed all the posters, programs, voting cards, etc. Unfortunately, I should have had someone proof read the program before we spent hours yesterday printing them... in my sickly state I'd made a few typos and messed up the performance order!
Anywho, they'll be video taping the show, so I'll be sure to bring back a DVD and I'll have pleanty of pictures to post! I have some others to put up as well from the past couple of months, so as soon as spring break starts and life calms down a bit, I'll try to get them up.
Wish me luck in the competition!
