Another Day, Another Doctors Appointment

I am going to be having an MRI done on my shoulder in about an hour, and it is safe to say I am somewhat nervous. I don't care about the machine but I do care about the whole "we're-going-to-inject-you-with-dye-using-a-giant-needle" thing. I am trying so hard to put on my big girl pants! Luckily, I have a big bag a Kisses I am bringing so I can eat away my nerves. Sound good? More to come....

Injured

So here's the story: I was in rehearsal on Friday and somehow managed to fall, out of no where, in a turn. On the way down I stretched out my left arm to try and break the fall, which did not work. Instead it hit at an odd angle and slid out from underneath my body causing something in my shoulder to pop or roll. I'm still not sure exactly what happened. I am still in pain and discomfort and decided to come home to see a doctor. I will be flying back home tomorrow so we can figure out what is going on! Advil and an ice pack has been my best friend the past two days. Seriously, only I could manage to fall in such a way. Honestly.

And almost a month later...

...I am finally writing another post! (applause please) I have been feeling refreshed and more confident since my trip back home during Thanksgiving. Let me tell you, it was AMAZING! I literally ran through the airport to me parents and started to cry the second I hugged my daddy. It was one of the best feelings in the world. After the grand reunion we went to lunch at Sweet Tea and enjoyed some great food and caught up with each other. I also got to see my grandmother the day I got back along with my best friend, Sarah Traylor. Sarah and I had an emotional reunion in my front yard, which I'm sure the neighbors loved. I got to see most of "the crew" with a couple extras, all the day I got home. It was just wonderful!! I really love and miss my friends. Of course I got to see John too. I went to Auburn and he showed me around the campus. It was the first time for me to be in somewhat cold weather! I got to stay at Grant's place that night, so it was great to see him. It was weird because everything felt like normal again. After Thanksgiving day we traveled to the country part of Alabama to see the Nolan side of my family. The amount of joy and happiness and love that filled my Pappy's house was overwhelming in the best way possible. Not to mention the CRAZY amount of food that was consumed within two days. Not gonna lie, I am proud of myself for eating as much as I did. It was very hard to leave my Mommy and Daddy again, but it was comforting to know I would be back home in no time at all! Now Orlando Ballet is focusing on Nutcracker like crazy! I am doing four shows, so it shouldn't be too bad. My mommy is coming next week and then I go home on Dec 19. I am so excited! Looks like I am going to have a good bit of doctors appointments when I get home, but at least I will be home. Peace and blessing y'all, peace and blessings :)

Hello again

It's about time I updated this thing, isn't it? Well things have been going well for the most part. I am one lesson away from being done with both Government and Sociology! I am proud of myself for accomplishing that. Now I need to step up my game in English. It takes a lot longer to complete a lesson so I am slightly behind but it isn't a big deal. At least not now. We have officially started Nutcracker! I am learning two spots in Waltz of the Flowers, Snow, and Candy Cane. I love all the choreography although it is weird to be doing different dances now. I did Candy Cane for the first time last week and I thought my calves were going to fall off afterwards, but I enjoyed it very much! I have yet to do snow full out yet but I think it is going to be rough. On another note I am going to be home in less than a week now!!! Can I get a WHOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?! Thank you. I just can not handle my own excitement about the subject. I want to hug my Daddy so tight and watch Judge Judy with him and see Grant for the first time in what seems like forever. I also want to see my Mommy of course cause she is the best in the whole wide world. But I can not forget all my friends too. Ahhhhh there is just so much goodness that is going to come from going home. Thanksgiving will be wonderful too because of seeing all my aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins. Okay I am totally rambling now. I will try and be more consistent with the blog again.....key word here is try. XOXO :D

So behind.

My bad. I totally forgot about this until Miss Traylor pointed it out to me via Facebook. A lot has happened the past few weeks, or however long it has been, but I am way too tired to do that now. So sleep and then stories possibly tomorrow. No promises though.... Sweet dreams of sugar plums (Nutcracker season has officially began) :D

Today. Oh man today.

Class, rehearsal, intensive-> private, another class.
Let me explain the third event in this time line, yeah? Well we have "intensives" once a week which is when a small group of people take an hour class to work on specific things. I am in one with 5 other girls and today all 5 of them had to go to rehearsal half way through and I was left for a private. It was really helpful! I could feel my turn out more than normal and I think it is really going to help my improvement. But not I can't stop shaking because I was working so hard and I have another class in about 15 minutes! I ate some M&M's, so bring it on ballet class! (just not too hard please....)

Craziness!

It has been awhile but all for good reason. I have been through a good bit the past week or so (to say the least). First of all my mom came last Thursday (not yesterday) on a little visit that turned out to be a little longer than expected. She was planning on coming to stay Thursday-Monday. Planning. Well Sunday she decided to stay until Tuesday and I could not have been more happy! Not gonna lie, I had an emotional break down just thinking about her leaving. Monday rolls around and I just wasn't feeling very good during my first class. Then it got worse during the break. Even worse in my next class. I was debating on whether or not to go home and got to the point of being miserable so decided it would be best to leave. My mom came and picked me and it went down hill from there. I got back to the house without getting sick but the rest of the night was not as lucky. I'll spare you the details. My mom cancelled her flight again because she didn't want to leave her baby so sick. And man was I sick. The next day I barely out got of bed and my diet consisted of soup, jello, and crackers. Yum yum. The next day, Wednesday, I started to feel like a human again and could eat real food without my stomach feeling too bad. I did not go to dance that day either because I didn't want to push too hard and have a relapse. My mommy rebooked her flight for Thursday and actually left that time. It was too hard to say good bye. Yes, I cried. Oh! Let me go back to Sunday. My aunt was throwing a friend a baby shower and my mom and I volunteered to go get the cake. Bad choice. We treated that cake like it was a priceless artifact and when we arrived at the house the top on fallen over....the gasps were intense when we took the top off and saw it had slide off into the side of the box. I thought my aunt and my mom were going to cry. We called Publix right away and they said to bring it in and they would fix it. Which they did! The second time we got it back in one piece and it was raved about to the shower. My mom and I spent the rest of the day together. Good times. I love my mommy very much. I am so excited about Thanksgiving because I get to see my whole family and all my friends! It will be magically for sure. Anyways, have a wonderful weekend :)
