WINDING DOWN...

Two weeks left of class this semester!
2.8 months left until ACDFA!
5.5 months left until graduation!

DANCE!

I survived the SFA Repertory Dance Company/Danceworks Concert. The weekly 2 hour rehearsals for my senior piece and 6 hour rehearsals for company paid off. The concert sold out all three nights...something that's never happened before!

Also, I travelled to Dallas for the TAHPERD convention. It was a great experience. We performed in front of a panel of three adjudicators, one from TCU, one from UNT and one from Ryan ISD. Overall, they seemed to really enjoy our performance. In particular, I'll never forget this trip because of the amazing room at the Sheraton, the profusely sweating guy that cut in line at the Sheraton, the commentary made by both SFA professors after the profusely sweating guy cut in line, the awesome Houston ISD volleyball coach that was behind us in said line, the Draft Sports Bar, the map of Dallas that failed to have a "You Are Here" sticker, the Pressbox Grill and those amazing loaded cheese fries, Stan's excitement after winning an officer position for TAHPERD (he was unopposed), Lucky's and the awesome conversations/singing that occurred in the car on the way there and back.

19 Hours

Yep, I'm taking 19 semester hours in the spring. During my last semester as an undergrad, I'm taking Analysis of Movement, New Media, Modern 3, Tap, Dance Production, Rhythmic Analysis and the ACDFA class for company. Mostly, I'm concerned about the 8 a.m. Dance Production class with Stan. I've never been a fan of early mornings!

Healthiest Campus Dining Hall???

I find it quite absurd that Stephen F. Austin State University's dining hall ranked second in "The 10 Healthiest College Dining Halls in America" article published by the Huffington Post. I guess the proof is in the pudding, but for some reason, I think this pudding is rotten. I've posted the link to the article below.

Song of the week...

The song of the week is "Why Not Me" by The Judds. It's one of the many classics I heard on my car trip from Dallas to Nac.

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...

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...

2013…Where did you go?

Image
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 )
