Tell me how I'm supposed to breath with no air...

Root Beer is a fabulous thing.

It makes me very happy.

My body aches and aches from ballet today. Ballet is truly intense. I always had a respect for dancers, but, you get a ridiculous amount of respect for them once you try to do do what they do. It's absolutely intense. No matter how much you work out or how many miles you run every day, try going to ballet class...just try. You will wake up the next morning and you'll feel like you've never used one muscle in your body in your entire life.

I had my self-esteem boost for the month or so today. OH, how I've missed it so. I needed it. I've been feeling rather sluggish and down...VOICE LESSONS WITH MR. BAKER!! The man is insanely talented (he's a "retired" professional opera singer. He was a performer at the Metropolitan opera and has sung with all the greats) and he just makes me feel like I'm the most talented young woman in the world. He repeatedly tells me how gorgeous and ridiculous my voice is...and tons of, "I LOVE your voice. Oh, I am just absolutely IN LOVE with your VOICE!" ...and how I can sing anything and it sounds BEAUTIFUL...and how absolutely gorgeous I am...and how he's sure every guy is just flocking after me.

I don't have the heart to tell him that I'm invisible to the opposite sex.

He believes in me...truly believes in me. It feels good to have someone who has been there and down that...that, meaning what I want to do...and tells you that they (meaning directors and such) would want me.

That just makes me feel better than hearing my mom tell me how I'm "SO much more talented than EVERY OTHER GIRL" hahahaHAHAHAHAH...oh, mother. You are so wrong.

So, that was good. I feel a tad eensy bit more confident about approaching auditions.

Sorta.

Ok, not so much. I wish I could take him with me.

I have to give my speech tomorrow. I'll be a nervous wreck, but, I know I'll be fine. I've practiced it and run it through my mind a million times. I know it won't be as perfect as it would be in my ideal world, but, the other speeches were less than fabulous, so, mine won't be too heinous.

Hmm...I have less than interesting things going on at the moment...and I'm pretty sure no one reads this...except Jessica hehe, my love...so, yeah.

Later days.
