"If he is stupid enough to walk away, be smart enough to let him."




It's OVER! OK, the week may not quite be over, but I consider it over. Yes, I still have one class left tomorrow, but I've mentally checked out for the remainder of the week. Don't hate! With that said, this week was one for the history books (yet again)
  • I had to have my senior choreographic piece finished by Wednesday. While this doesn't sound like much, it really was. I had approximately 2 minutes of choreography to whip out and teach my dancers in one night. Let's just say things didn't go as planned. I didn't choreograph enough which forced me to come up with something on the spot...not good. With that said, however, I did get a compliment in disguise from Stan. His words exactly were, "Your dance is a hidden gem in the rough." Yep, I'm taking that as a compliment. Don't argue otherwise!
  • This week I also was very productive in terms of yearbook stuff. I e-mailed every single adviser and student leader for all of the organizations at SFA. This was no small feat, considering there are hundreds of organizations.
  • I had two more stories published in The Pine Log. Yep, it never gets old. I'm still just as giddy as ever when I see people read my stories.
  • I also realized something I should have realized months ago. "If someone doesn't make you their everything, don't make them your anything." I have no clue who said this, but it's oh so true. This week I let go of someone I tried to, for one reason or another, hold on to. I must say it was quite liberating.
  • I got my head shot taken for the SFA Repertory Dance Company. Yeah, I know it's just a photo, but it still made me happy...mostly because it means the semester is coming to a close.
  • Oh yeah, I'm so happy to announce the November issue of Texas Monthly is now on newsstands. I bought my first issue of Texas Monthly last month just to read the feature on Miranda Lambert. Needless to say, I'm now addicted to this magazine. 
  • The song of the week is "Lesson in Leavin" by Jo Dee Messina. It's just quite relevant this week. I feel a lot of my friends are having boy issues so this goes out to them.

2013…Where did you go?

Time flew by… 2013 brought me so many opportunities I never saw coming… I student taught at Huffman ISD. Visited New York City for the first time ever. :)  Got my dream job as a middle school dance teacher (166 students!) Moved into my first "big girl" apartment since college. Celebrated my first Christmas in my new place :) (Isn't this the cutest idea...cut the center loop in the large bow and just stick the smaller bow inside. Thanks Mom for the tip.) Last but not least, I realized it's the little things that can't be bought that truly mean the most. I can only imagine what 2014 will hold in store for me. (Saw this sign at the  Antique & Craft Mall of Pasadena )

Hi!

Wow! I can't believe I'm actually blogging. The thought of creating a blog has crossed my mind hundreds of times, but I always put it off for one reason or another. With that said, I have no clue where to begin. I feel like I must kick off my first blog entry with some grandiose statement that is history book worthy, but my think tank is running on empty. I guess I'll just begin with a little about myself...how original. To begin with, my name is Gina. I'm a senior at Stephen F. Austin State University. Yep, I go to a univeristy that has a doctorate program in forestry. Yep, it's a tiny university located in an even tinier city, but I love it. Go Lumberjacks! I'm pursuing a double major in dance and journalism. I know you won't be seeing these majors in the "10 Most-Lucrative Degrees" article any time soon, but I don't care. I followed my heart, and I'm sure it won't steer me wrong. Growing up, I was the shy kid who always had somet

Dance! Dance! Dance!

So I don't know about you, but I'm so looking forward to the numerous dance television shows/movies coming out this summer.  I'm so excited about this that I've decided to devote an entire post to it. Enjoy! First Position This is a documentary that follows ballet dancers as they compete for dance scholarships. Unfortunately, there are limited screenings, so you'll have to go to the River Oaks Theatre if you reside in the Houston area. The only other screenings in Texas are in Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin. The film opens on May 18. Breaking Pointe This show premieres on May 31 on the CW. It follows the lives of members of Ballet West, a professional company within Salt Lake City, Utah.  Bunheads If you're as much of an ABC Family fanatic as I am, I'm sure you've seen the previews for this show for the past few months. Brought to you by the creator of Gilmore Girls, this show premieres on June 11. All
