Chick-fil-a + buffet = Amazing!!

Today I went to Chick-fil-a for the all A lunch. When I heard where the lunch was going to be I was excited because I love Chick-fil-a. However when they told us that it was going to be a buffet that was even more exciting. When we arrived there was a table set up for us. They had waffle fries and a huge tray of chicken nuggets. There were at least 500 chicken nuggets on that tray. Then to top it all of we got brownies for dessert. When I go to chick-fil-a I normally get the 8 pack chicken nuggets with fries. Well today I found out that I can eat more than just 8 chicken nuggets. Everyone started out with at least 12 chicken nuggets on our plate. Then one of the workers kept walking by telling us to eat more. You felt compelled to take more so you had to eat more. We had brownies for dessert and I always thought that the brownies looked just ok. I found out today that I was wrong. They were actually delicious. Then after we had dessert she came back around with the rest of the chicken nuggets trying to get us to eat the rest. Before we left we received little stuffed cows and these cows to put on our car's antenna. It was probably one of the best all A lunches.

A dysfunctional group

ADAPT and survive week is next week for AYL. This is the week when all of the different AYL groups go to various middle schools and perform skits. The skits show the effects of alcohol and drugs. The skits also talk about other subjects such as dating and school. Normally about five or six skits are performed in a show. Our group performs Tuesday and we have a total of two skits that are done. The two skits that are done aren't even that great. We have had since November to work on this skits. Our groups is probably one of the most dysfunctional AYL groups ever. We have really fun people in the group and I think that might be one of the problems. We seem to get distracted very easily and before we know it it is time for the meeting to end and we haven't even started working on the skit. We also have a few people who have a lot of different ideas. It's really great that they are creative but it can also be distracting. So many ideas are thrown out that we don't know which ones to choose. When we do our skits sometimes we have so much fun that we make drugs and alcohol seem like a lot fun and that is definitely not supposed to happen. We have a meeting for two hours on Sunday. I can only hope that everyone will feel a lot of pressure since it is two days until we perform. Hopefully our group will be able to stay on task and get something accomplished. I get to go to Starbucks after my group performs :)

Things that make me laugh

There are a lot of things that make me laugh. I feel like it isn't that difficult to make me laugh. However sometimes laughter isn't a good thing for me because I laugh in situations that aren't funny. For some odd reason in the most awkward or sad situations I start laughing. It isn't that I find the situation funny. I don't know why but I just laugh. For instances moments of silences for people that have died are never good for me. I just feel like everything is so awkward during a time of silence and somehow that makes me laugh. Maybe I feel like I need to laugh because I am a really loud person and I am not used to silence. Not only do I laugh in moments of silence but I also laugh when something really sad happens. Instead of crying I sometimes laugh. For example when one of my really good friends at dance quit I didn't know what to say or do. So when I was telling other dancers what happened I started laughing hysterically. It's not that the it was funny that she quit but I just didn't know what else to do. I guess laughter is something I do when I am really upset or confused. One time at dance I was so frustrated with a teacher that I started crying but then two seconds later I was laughing at the situation. Once again I wasn't laughing because it was funny. I was laughing because I was so upset that I didn't know what to do. So I guess you could say that pretty much anything could make me laugh whether it is happy, funny, or even sad.

Go away snow!!!

So I am hoping that these last few snow days we had are our last! I always enjoy the first few snow days. It is always exciting to get to miss school but I like my snow days spaced out a little bit more. I like a snow day here and there. I don't want three snow days in a row like we had last week. At this point in time we are already going to school in June why not miss a few more days. Snow days are good to catch up on sleep since I hardly ever get to sleep in with dance on Saturday. Snow days are also good because I get to catch upon on my DVR and watch all of my shows that I don't have time to watch during the week. The only other good thing about a snow day is that the next day that you go back to school there is normally a delay. I like delays sometimes more than snow days because I get to sleep in but I don't have to make the day up at the end of June. Delays also allow me enough time to stop at Chick-fil-a and get breakfast. The only downfall to snow days are that we have to make them up at the end of the school year. That is a big downfall because when it comes May I am ready to get out of school. I don't mind making up a few days but when school has to go into June that is when I start getting a little annoyed. So lets just hope that the snow goes away and there aren't any more snow days! I <3 Starbucks!

JOT is less than a month away!!!

So you are probably wondering what JOT is? JOT stands for Jazz on Tap. This is a dance festival that takes place on the first weekend of March in Atlanta. It is probably the most exciting part of dancing besides when we travel to Chicago. JOT is always a good time for all of the dancers to get to spend time together outside of the dance studio. It is about three weekends away and everyone is already becoming really excited. Not only do we get to perform a few dances at JOT but we also get to take some really amazing master classes. The dance classes are always fun because they are taught by some really amazing dance teachers. The combinations that we are taught in class are always really amazing. I can still remember parts of some dances that I learned three or four years ago. I have to be honest the best part of JOT would probably have to be the little bit of shopping that we get to do before we have to dance. It is always nice to get to have a little stress relief before we have to perform the next day. The second best part of JOT would have to be when we go out to eat after performing. When the show has ended it is about 11:00 at night and the restaurant stays open just for us every year. Even though we are always exhausted from performing and taking class we always seem able to find some energy to enjoy the rest of the night. It is always sad when we have to get up the next morning and travel back to Owensboro so that we can make it home it time for rehearsal at 12:00 that afternoon. Even though it is an exhausting weekend I can't wait. Starbucks is the best :)

High School Musicale

This weekend I had choreography for High School Musicale K-12 (Yes that is the name of our show this year). It was a great weekend even though I had to dance all of the time. It was just a great experience that everyone at the studio needed. Lately it has been kind of stressful at the studio. With people quitting, girls having to leave because of anorexia, and the teachers being in horrible moods dancing has been much fun lately. This past weekend showed everyone how much fun dancing really can be. It was a weekend without drama and that is unusual for our company. The choreographers from Atlanta were very encouraging and showed us that dancing could be fun again. It was also great to get to partner with male dancers. Since there aren't any male dancers in our company we hardly ever get the experience to dance with a partner. It is always exciting when we get to try new lifts. Even though High School Musical isn't the greatest show that we have ever done because it doesn't have the most difficult dancing. It will certainly be one of the most exciting and up beat show that we have ever done. That's all that really matters is how much we enjoy dancing and not the difficulty of the steps. Starbucks is amazing!!!!
