Day 159: April 2, 2011.
I haven't been feeling well today so I've spent most of the afternoon on the couch. I was planning on going out and running some errands and really enjoying this GORGEOUS day, but I've been feeling really awful since about 10 this morning. But staying in has really been okay with me! I planted myself on the couch, turned on some mindless TV, took a fabulous nap, and did a whole lot of nothing before heading back to the theater to finish up my house managing duties for the SADC showing.
It may sound kind of silly, but I really like the window we have in our living room.
I really like how big it is and how it doesn't back up to a brick wall (last last year) and I can see a lot of sky. It's really easy to feel claustrophobic here sometimes with so many people and such tall, concrete buildings, so being able to lay on my couch and enjoy the openness of sky is something I really appreciate.
Today, finding relaxing space like this makes me happy :)
Day 158: April 1, 2011.
HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY!
I hope everyone's had a fun and funny day and hasn't had any terribly dramatic April Fool's jokes played on them ;)
Today after technique class we had our first audition. What is SADC you ask? Well as most of you know, because I so obnoxiously talk about it all the time these days (sorry!), NYU's dance program is only three years long. When you get to your third year, the class is referred to as the Second Avenue Dance Company, or SADC and you no longer keep the schedule that the first and second years do. Every day you have a "company" technique class at 1:30 (which only includes third year BFAs and second year MFAs) and then after class is over at 3 (3:15? I'm actually not sure!) the rest of the afternoon depends on which pieces you're in. Along with student works and the faculty choreographer for the year, four guest choreographers come in and set pieces on us. Next year we have an AMAZING lineup of professional choreographers coming in to set work! Along with Cherylyn, the faculty choreographer and the chair of the dance department, pieces will be set by Sean Curran, Kate Weare, Sidney Skybetter (NYU alum) and Aszure Barton. It's safe to say that we're excited and ready to get started!! :)
Especially after our first audition this morning. We had Sean Curran and I absolutely LOVED it! He was awesome and full of such a fun energy, his movement flowed really nicely and felt really great to dance. Even though it was just the first audition and we won't even find out which piece(s) we're in until after our last one in September, today made look forward to next year even more :)
It's going to be an incredible year filled with awesome experiences :)
Today, the future and its opportunities make me happy :)

Day 157: March 31, 2011.
What's a better way to end a long Thursday than going for frozen yogurt with a great friend?! Right now I can't think of one! As you all hear me complain all the time, Thursdays are ridiculously long days. It's just go, go, go, class after class after class...They're definitely not bad, they're just definitely very long. So as time was dragging by in my American Musical class tonight (which is a joke of a class-so easy-but painfully long and boring), Caroline and I decided that after class we'd go over to St. Marks and grab a little froyo! It was a great decision. We got to enjoy a little treat and some great conversation! What's better than that?! :)
Tonight, friends and frozen treats make me happy :)
