I'd rather have a life of 'oh wells' than a life of 'what ifs'



I made the show! 
My dance is officially the third piece in the show this upcoming Thursday, Friday and Saturday. No words can explain how happy I am to say this. It's been one roller coaster of a semester, but my cast stuck with me and never failed to give me 110 percent. I can't thank them enough for this. In addition to my piece, I'll be in three other pieces. :)


Photography?
I vowed to never pick up a camera again after my ridiculously hard photography class last semester. With that said, however, one of my friends asked me today if I'd be interested in taking their graduation photos. This excited me! I guess my love for photography still exists...it was just on a hiatus for the last several months or so.


Final Advising...
I was advised today for next semester. It was kind of bitter sweet. I'm happy to have only 19 semester hours standing in my way from graduation, but I'm sad to know I'm leaving so many great friendships behind. 
My spring 2012 schedule consists of:
1.) Tap Dance TR 12:30-1:45
2.) Rhythmic Analysis TR 9:30-10:45
3.) Modern Dance 3 MWF 11-12:30
4.) Dance Production TR 8-9:15
5.) ACDFA TR 3:30-5
6.) Analysis of Movement MWF 10-10:50
     Lab W 1-2:50
7.) New Media M 4-6:30


The song of the week...
is "Bring Me Down" by Miranda Lambert. Congrats to her for getting the Female Artist of the Year award last night on the CMA's.

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

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
