Hooray!!!

I got the packages today! Both of them! It was very strange, that a couple weeks ago, the man there went through the whole list of things that couldn't be delivered, or were sent back to their origin, and my name wasn't on it. And today, I took a little form that was delivered to me, and I got both packages. So, it looks like it was all sorted out by them, and they just took a very, very long time to work out what my new address was. -But the point is that they DID work out what it was. So, now I'm just waiting for the weekend, when Pamela will be here, so that I can share the excitement with her, (and perhaps take it to the family's place, as the parents might be interested in that too. I'll see what Pam thinks.)

I know that I Could open theme this instant, but... I feel that sharing the excitement of the moment... actually increases my own too.

On to other things, And in a completely different direction, There was something that I forgot to write about that happened in the Hannover Audition, (Which was in the most recent travel log on my webpage.) Because we had these enormous groups, -it was about thirty per group for half of the center exercises, the best place I had, where there was enough room to dance, was right at the back. And that's where I stood. (Especially seeing as I felt that I had little chance anyhow, I wasn't about to push through all the other dancers, just to have the director look at me, and not be impressed.)

Well, being at the very back, and having lots of leg room, and having many good dancers in front of me... was inspiring. I dances full, FULL out. And in doing so, realised that I've been holding back from my full potential. It's ever so hard to explain, but it something like... I was not dancing to the very ends of my lines. I could have stretched my legs a little further out, and made my arms a little wider to the side, and made... all the steps a bit more... grand. (and I there mean a mix of both the english and french meanings.)

At the very back of such a huge group, I was forced to dance to my maximum extent, just to have any hope at All of being seen. And that's why I realised what my maximum extent truly is.

And now... I just need to find that style, and have it it my dancing all the time.
