i placed gold for tank & support, but placed higher in support than in tank.....

biggest comp of the year starts in 9.5 hours (I’ll actually be dancing in 13)! 

hoping to end the season with a bang!

less than 40 hours until competition!! 

currently feeling the usual mix of excitement and terror -- am attempting to mitigate these feelings by re-tapping my shoes and searching for my lost bag of extra-strength hair ties.

today was amazing and I now have three first place ribbons in my possession

just wanted to say thanks to all of you for wishing me luck and sending good vibes when I’m competing. It always means so much ❤️

4 hrs until dance time and my hair isn’t cooperating at all 😡

a very belated thank you for all the good wishes and congratulations for my last comp! You guys are the best, thanks always for cheering me on and also putting up with all of my comp ramblings 😃

Dance has been going amazing these past few weeks, so I just wanted to share some recent achievements: 

Leveled up in Latin! 

Lost 5 pounds! Apparently I look much skinnier than I used to, so hopefully the minimal weight loss is due to muscle gain as opposed to stagnation

Started to learn/choreograph Gold standard routines (a.k.a. I get to dance fallaway reverse slip pivots and contra checks to my heart’s content)

Almost made it through a full standard round without getting neck cramps 

Survived 5 punishment vwaltzes during one session of rounds

Watched a dance video of myself and didn’t immediately hate it

Started tryout talks for next season!

This is the first time since first year where I’ve been truly enjoying every second of dance, and I’m so glad that I got the chance to compete this semester. I’m going to do my damned best to make sure this feeling doesn’t disappear again.

I’m going to be competing in less than 72 hrs!! 

Am currently a mess of nerves and excitement.
