My life is full of longs days, late nights, unfinished assignments, stress, and it is all because of dance. I have dance almost every day right after school till at least 9 and some nights I teach too. And I have to stay after and clean the studio. Then I have to go home and start my homework. Some night i just can't even keep my eyes open so i end up falling asleep doing homework. Then being up late all the time doing homework I usually end up getting up late. I am sore 99.9 percent of the time. I'm always broke, I get my paycheck and all the money goes to conventions and to competitions. I'm constantly stressed out about dance and remembering the choreography and making sure everything looks good. I am also teaching to i have to come up with my choreography for those classes also. On top of that i have auditions for scholarships coming up so my solo has to be flawless, adding more stress.I also stress about school and getting all of my grades up and assignments in.

The thing is I wouldn't have it any other way. I live for it. This is the life. I can't imagine not being able to dance all day or not dancing everyday. I would hate to never be sore, i would never feel like I'm working hard. I love the night time, its so peaceful and i love being up. Its been said too much, but i can sleep when im dead, i need to work for what I need now. Being stressed out pushes me, otherwise i just wouldn't do anything besides sit around all day in front of the computer. And quite frankly if I wasn't spending my money on dance, something that will benefit me, it would be wasted on stupid useless purchases. I love my way of life and i wouldn't change a thing. This is the life of a dancer.
