Dancer Under Construction

I've tried livejournal, but I just don't care for it.  I'm going to be blogging here instead:  http://sariahunderconstruction.blogspot.com/

Well, we made it back home!  We had a wonderful time, but I ate WAY too much!!!  lol 

I was able to practice my choreo a bit while I was gone, but not as much as I wanted.  

I'm thinking I might switch my blog over to blogger.  I've used them in the past, and I think I like their format better than live journal, but I'm not sure yet. 

Anyway, I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!

Okay, so I didn't get two hours done like I had hoped, but I at least got an hour in.  I did 30 minutes on my choreo and 30 minutes just drilling.  I'm heading out to see my family this week for Thanksgiving.  Hopefully I'll be able to fit in some dancing while I'm away, but who knows. 

I've had such a total lack of energy lately.  Honestly I think it's because of some things in my life that have been going terribly wrong.  I wish things would become easier, but they are the kind of issues that just don't get better.

Anyway, I probably won't be able to update while I'm gone, but as soon as I get back home I'll fill everyone in on what I got done while I was on vacay.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Okay, so yesterday (Day 4) I didn't do a damn thing.  I thought about it a lot, but didn't actually DO anything.  I had a ton of excuses but the truth is, I very easily could have fit in an hour of dancing, but I was too lazy. 

So today I'm going to do 2 hours to make up for my crappy showing yesterday.  I will report back later on my progress.

I finally finished my friggin' choreography!!!!  THANK GOODNESS!!!  It's probably not great, but I'm pretty proud of it, considering it's my first choreo.  One thing I have learned is that I need to widen my dance vocabulary for sure.  That will defintiely be one of my short-term goals.

In my last post I said that I planned to work on the choreo and do some yoga, and I'm happy to say that I've done the choreo (granted it's after midnight, but I'm still counting it for day 3).  Go me!!

I decided to try using livejournal to blog about my progress in addtion to my myspace blog.  I love myspace, but the blog there sucks.  Anyway, if you're curious about this dance challenge thing, check this out:  http://tribes.tribe.net/bbdr

I'm currently on Day 3 of the challenge.  Let me recap day 1 and day 2.  On both days, I worked for an hour on my choreography that I'm going to be performing on December 6th.  Last night, I also did about 30 minutes of yoga. 

I'm completely stuck on coming up with the end of my choreo.  I have ideas, but they just don't look right, you know?  I'm also incredibly nervous because this is my first ever choreography that I've come up with on my own. 

So, my plan for the day is to work on my choreography yet again for an hour.  And HOPEFULLY I will be able to finish it.  I'm also hoping to fit in a bit of pilates and yoga.
