What I Have Been Up To

Sorry for not writing for a while, busy schedule really takes a lot from you. Anyway, here are some things I have been up to.

Dancing:
I have been rehearsing a ballet variation from "Ocean and Pearls" and a new steampunk piece. For those who do no know what is steampunk, it is a retro gothic style with a futuristic twist. Throughout the time I was not writing, I had a lot of rehearsals and costume fittings and the regular classes. I am very excited for the steampunk dance because not only is the choreography is so unique yet quirky, my partner's and my costume are very unique. To say the least, my makeup consists of a bunch of eyeliner and fake eyelashes that almost go up to my brow.

Schoolwork:
Probably the worst excuse ever, but schoolwork seems to be piling on and on and I feel as though I will drown in papers (which will actually relieve me). Two novels, two papers, video presentation, poem in Spanish, two tests, and three chapters of history to read is my schedule for this week with dancing on top of all of it.

Club Meetings:
With all of the club meetings, it is a great break from schoolwork and dancing, but it takes a lot from your body. I am shocked that my body has not given up yet, but my mind did for sure. I cannot think straight right now.

Laundry and other chores:
Not only will I drown in papers but also clothing. I have not washed a single article of clothing for about 3 weeks, and it just becomes a huge hill of clothing. I have not cleaned my work area lately and  papers are just everywhere. My room is a mess, pretty much my own home.

Holiday Shopping:
I need to start shopping for gifts for friends and family and need to start buying food for dinner parties. Usually is a relief that the holiday is coming, but sometime, it is a bigger pain (can someone say "Nutcracker").

Anyway, I apologize for not writing for a while. As you can see, I have a lot on my plate, let's just hope that I d not spread myself too thin. Maybe I should write the next post about taking care of yourself. Good luck to you.

With love, hugs, and kisses,

Violet Sar Bleu

We only part to meet again.
