The word busy.

Busy.

This word seems to fill every part of my mind and my life lately.  I can not catch a breath it seems.  I only have just uner 7 weeks of classes left here at Laban.. but I don't feel that my time here is anywhere near coming to a close.  As I sit here thinking about each of the things on my to-do list.. it makes me a bit sick to my stomach.  How in the world am I going to get it all finished??  I have to complete a choreography piece within the next two weeks... somehow.  And on top of all of that.. I have to prepare for the rest of my assessments and projects that are due soon too.  The list of these includes, contemporary assessment, ballet assessment, jazz assessment, teaching studies teaching assessment, teaching dance technique module file, choreology 2 research project, and a performace for the rep class as well.  Oh man.  Welcome to 7 weeks of little to no sleep.  This week, I completed my teaching dance technique final teaching assessment and I think it went well.. so glad to have one more thing checked off my list of things to do, though.  The one thing about my assessments is that at least they are fairly spread out within my weeks so I don't have 4 things piled into one week.  I do appreciate that for sure!! 

Once I am finished with my third 10 week term here, I will have one final week in London to enjoy and tie up loose ends.  My mom will be joining me for a few days that week, pending the nice behavior of the volcano in Iceland) and we will spend the week seeing last minute things as well as packing up the entirety of my room in Notting Hill.  It makes me sad to think that I will have to pack up and clear out everything from this year.  However, it is also very exciting to think that I have so much to go home to.  I will be teaching at Carolina Dance Center and for Fancy Feet all summer and then will begin my senior year in the fall.  CRAZY!  I will certainly be busy throughout the summer.. but it will be totally worth it since I will be doing what I love the whole time.  I also will be moving into a townhouse when I return, which is super exciting as well! I can't wait!! :))

Oh next year... the fall semester is going to be pretty much the death of me.. let's be honest.  I am taking 18 credit hours.. but more than that really just not all for credit.  I will end up with about 19 or 20 hours in reality.  Plus at least 2 jobs and my studio internship.  I may be wanting to crawl under a rock at some times.. but I am looking forward to all of the experience and challenges I will have in the fall.  I can feel the sleepless nights coming on already.. but that's ok.  That is what college is supposed to be all about anyway.. I think.  Haha! 

On to the rest of today... rehearsals, classes, tutorials, emails, meetings, reading, commuting, laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, showering... and all that fun stuff. Have an awesome day, everyone!

cheers :) mk
