I never did mention my real grades for the last term. I got an 8.3 in Milagros' class, a 5.25 in Raphael's (the dance I love!) and a 7-something in Luisa's - for an overall grade of 7 for the trimester. I received the lowest grade in the WHOLE intermediate class...but I'm not the worst, I SWEAR! (OR AM I? Jajaja!)
Whether I am or not - because I'm already comfortable with my teachers and more comfortable speaking spanish - I'm less afraid and more aggressive starting this new term so I'm going to make it my goal to get better grades this trimester. I want to be better than at least...um...let's say 4 of 5 other students. Not to be competitive because I really like everyone I dance with, but I want some tangible way to show improvement. Although I do think my footwork is totally kicking ass these days (AND NOW IF I COULD ADD MY DAMN ARMS!)
Whatever happens, dancing feels so good! Someone took this photo of me as soon as I finished my Solea final - it was so fun!
hey Justine! I admit to losing track of your blog lately, but a quick scan of your recent photos and posts really shows me what I've hoped all along: this experience kicks ass. woo-hoo!!!
