Day 100: February 2, 2011.

As I sit here to type out my 100th "like" I'm realizing what a momentous occasion I've perceived it to be.  Haha!  The closer and closer it's gotten the more excited I've become for some reason, as if fireworks and confetti cannons are going to go off and there will be balloons and a big party...In elementary school we always had a 100th Day of School party (which was always so much fun!), but in our case tonight there's no need for a huge celebration.  For one, there are still 265 days to go!  Haha!  We're nowhere near the finish line!  And secondly, this list isn't a competition or a race of any kind...Each day has a single, equal purpose and that is to smile :)  No one is greater or more important than the next!  

So on that note, on to my "like!" :)

Today was an all-around great Wednesday!  I woke up with that same joy that I had all day yesterday, so from the get-go I had a feeling I was in for another wonderful day!  I knew that it was going to be one for sure when I was able to walk out of ballet class this morning and say, "That was a GREAT ballet class!"  It was definitely the best one of the new semester so far!  Last week was a push trying to wrap my mind around the intensity of the new semester (let alone get my body to perform as it should class after class..five weeks off will do that to a person!), but after today's class I know that I'm on the right track to being healthy and back in shape and this is making me even more excited to dive on into the tasks at hand!  Class was hard, don't get me wrong!  Jolinda (our pointe teacher who happens to be my regular technique teach this rotation as well, meaning I have her four days in a row) is one of my absolute favorite teachers here at school.  She always gives really challenging classes, which I usually love, but it's been a rude awakening the last week and a half!  Today I believe the tables have turned!  I felt like I was working instead of struggling and let me tell you, it was a fabulous change of pace!  :)

I also knew today was going to be a great day when Lila--Schmikel Sandberry, for those of you who have wondered who that is on FB!--came into the studio first thing in the morning with a huge smile on her face and was laughing and happy all class!  It was the most awesome way to start the day!!

Tonight, wonderful morning ballet classes and happy friends make me happy :)
