Well, I started one of these under a different title a while ago and... well, it didn't work out so well. I wasn't happy or in a good place and didn't think I should pour it all out online and be, well, more dramatic than usual. So, I let it go. However, after reading Cody's latest, I was inspired to get on the bandwagon and not let it go. Again.
I'll skip the back-story and introductions and what-not and just move ahead--as most of you reading this, already know all the history.
For the first time in a year, I have some semblance of an idea of where my life is going--for the next two years, at least. I haven't received the official letter, but as per the reassurance of the Communication Graduate Adviser, I will be accepted into Grad School at Pacific, to continue my studies for a Masters Degree. I've never felt such a weight lifted from my shoulders as I did at the moment he told me.
Additionally, my boss, Georgia, officially offered me the position of Head Coach of the Tiger Dancers for next season. When we first began to discuss the possibility of me taking the position, I was hesitant, to say the least. I technically have one more year of eligibility as a member of the team (as a grad student) and what if I never made another team again? I didn't like the bleak possibility. However, the more I thought about it, the more excited I got about the opportunity that was being given to me. I get to run the team I have made the most important part of my life for four years. I get to choose the choreography, the team members, the level of commitment, the uniforms--everything. And the incredible learning experience I'm about to embark on is something a fair few get to do. Auditions for the team are this Saturday and I'm excited and scared and nervous and giddy all at the same time. God, I just hope someone shows up. Haha.
Technically, I could go on for ages, I'm sure, but it's sort of 2 a.m.

ummm, what back story?! I have learned that words travels fast in this family, but for some reason, I missed this one!!!! Hope you are doing well. xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteHey well im glad that i could be of some inspiration to you for the blog. In the other half of the story keep your head up and dont let the little things get you down or the big things. An old crusty sailor once told me dont sweat the petty things and dont pet the sweaty things hahah. I dont know but it sounds cool haha.
ReplyDeleteKelly: haha, just all the details of how I got the job in athletics and how our dance team's coach quit because she never showed up and was going to get fired anyway, so since I was captain I basically took over the team, while a member of it as well. It was awful and hard, but made me appreciate the team and now I couldn't be happier to be coaching it. :)
ReplyDeleteCody: Hahahaha that's an awesome saying. Thanks Cody :)
