The Kumpania Boleyn!

So, I have my car now. After a very unfortunate accident, I have my car. This means I can now audition for the Renaissance Festival, like I've been wanting. And I want to be a Romani Dancer! Unfortunately, the classes started in January, and it's March. Two weeks from auditions. I have until then to learn the 6 (or was it 4?) dances that I will be REQUIRED to know in order to even be considered. I must also learn the vocabulary words. Argh!

I wish I would have been able to go to the early ones like I wanted, but it wasn't even possible until now. Two weeks to learn these dances. I am going to have to practice a MINIMUM of two hours a day. If not more. Thank O'Dell (Romani word for God) that I have only one class Tuesdays and Thursdays. Four hours of practice on those days will do me a lot of good.

OH, WHAT ABOUT STUDYING?

I can do that, too. I live a very anti-social life, as many of you know, so studying -will- get done. In fact, studying is a priority. I am paying thousands of dollars to this godforsaken school, so I -will- make good grades. But I've wanted to do this for so long... I can't quit because I'm behind. If anything, I have to work harder. I will not quit now. No. No. NO.


I am currently sitting in the Hashinger Hall dance studio. I've been practicing for a good... thirty minutes, and I have now realized how out of shape I am. I am taking another twenty or so minutes to rehydrate, post this, and watch the video of the dance I am starting with over and over and over until I have it memorized. I'm pretty good with the first 40 seconds or so, I just need to sync up my dancing with the Romani in the video.

For those of you that are curious, here it is:

Wish me luck, everyone!
