Wicked

...it was the best experience ever...it's really hard to describe...just go see it...unless you hate musical theater...which I just don't see how that's possible...so anyway, if you really want a full review, I'll do one...but it's hard to put it into words...don't judge the Wicked Witch of the West UNTIL you see Wicked...ok, I must go.

Bye! :)

Portland Trip!

Yep, I'm in Portland! Once a year my family takes a weekend off and drives to Portland...the staying in the car for three straight hours isn't fun, but I like staying in a hotel, and going to new places with good food or things to do. Plus, I get to experience my birthday present, finally, here in Portland. Tonight, I'M SEEING WICKED!!! I may love ballet, but I also love musical theater...I sort of get the best of both worlds now, dancing afternoons in the school year, and then doing a musical theater intensive in the summer, where we put on a really fun show...I've already blogged about it a lot...you know, Godspell. But back to the best of both worlds thing, I'm glad that I don't have to choose what I want to pursue for my future yet, because I need these next five years to figure that out.

I'll keep updating on Portland, and I'll dedicate a post to Wicked (AKDJGLKEJGLDKNLDKAVLKJG!!!!!!!!!!!!!) explaining how amazing I already know it'll be :)

Update + Swan Lake + Hunger Games

Hi everyone! I'm already punishing myself for not posting...but I don't really know what to post about. I also have been pretty busy with homework, essays, dance, and voice lessons homework.

Ok, onto more interesting things! So, it has been informed of me by a fellow blogger that our big ballet company is doing SWAN LAKE NEXT SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last year, for our June recital, one of my ballet classes did a part of Swan Lake, and we had really pretty tutus...and it was so fun!!! I can't wait to see the full thing now!!! Also, I saw the Black Swan Pas de Deux at a performance that incorporated other bits of ballets, and it was so dramatic and pretty!!! And to top it off, we got to see it backstage, which was AMAZING!!!!!

Also, The Hunger Games movie is coming out soon! I can't wait! I really loved the first book, but as I continued to read the rest, I didn't quite enjoy them as much (SSSHHHHH, don't tell!).
I also found this website online that got a little thing written by Suzanne Collins who said she was pleased with the movie, which is a good sign. It also mentions that it is a bit different from the book, showing different points of view (or something like that), but I'm staying positive, and thinking that the new aspects will contribute very well to the film.

Here is the link:

Ok, I have to get dressed for school now!
I shall try to blog more :-) Bye!
