tap shoes

Today I was very excited because I had planned to buy a pair of new tap shoes. The plan was that me and the dorm-gang (Wanna, Lauren and Ali) were going to get my tap shoes at this dance store that is closing down, go shopping and then go to a barbeque party that a girl from Lovewell had arranged. 

We left the dorms around noon and headed for the dance shop. It took a while to find but once we got there it was closed. It was closed! Of course! It's sunday right? Why didn't I think of this earlier? Now I don't know when I'm going to get ahold of those shoes. This is important for me, so I guess i have to find a way to get my precious beloved another day. The problem is that i wont have time for going anywhere this week because of all the rehearsing during the days. We will work from 9 to 9 every day all week except friday. I could go on friday but apparently everything is going to be closed on that day. We also have the day off that day so it would be perfect but what to do. I hope the shop is open on saturday. 

The rest of the day was good, nothing to say. fun fun see ya soon

Saturday night

Just celebrated my awesome friend  Lauren's 18th birthday. Actually her birthday was yesterday but who cares right? If we celebrate our friends birthdays every day it is great isn't it? Today I was at this charity event for the american cancer society. The main event was a bunch of dancers performing in showcases. Some of the dancers were fantastic and some were not. I went there with some friends from Lovewell including the birthday kid and we got free tickets so that was really nice. I also saw some very nice paintings. I love to watch paintings sometimes because you can really just stand and watch the same one for a long time looking for something really rare in the painting. Finding inspiration in all kinds of arts is always interesting and if you think of it you might just find your inspiration too. 

Well well i don't know what to write today. Next week it's time to finish and perform the show and then i'll be off to Manila.

moving on

Time is running short and in a week the show will have its premiere. Everything is going well around here and the scenes of the show are almost done. Me and Eric who are doing this characters called Vaangee and Dr. Celery are the belief keepers, and we are kind having the main part in the show but we have hardly practiced anything for our part. Hope it's going to be more work tomorrow.

I went to the biggest mall in Florida two days ago and man it was big. well well i'm watching a movie so talk to ya soon pzz

Lake Placid

I just arrived from the lake house and this weekend was really something to remember. 

On friday when we got there i was amazed how beautiful the place was. We came in and it was like a typical beautiful lake house with one floor of many rooms for many people to fit in. I could see the big kitchen combined with a room with a big wooden table and a hallway with three bedrooms next to each other on both sides. Anyway, I'm not going to tell you how the house looked. It was big and beautiful. They had a big duck by the water with many boats that we were going to try out. 

There was a group of wake-boarders there that we did a lot of fun stuff with. They took us out tubing which is when a bunch of people sit on a big air-mattress trying not to fall. That was fun! specially when the huge waves come and you really struggle to stay on that tube. 

I had asked the owner of the house about alligators and snakes if there was possible to see any during this weekend and he said that there almost was no chance that we would see any because they're very shy around humans. But this saturday I saw more than one. If I'm right i think i saw an alligator four times. Twenty meters from the duck on the same spot that creepy big thing showed up four times. Very fun to see now when i've never seen a gator. I also saw a turtle in the water isn't that exciting ;)

The wake-board was hard to get up on in the water but when i learned to get up it was easy to balance. It was almost exactly like snowboarding with the turning and jumping. The only hard thing was handling the waves and getting to know the technique how to jump and land right but it was almost the same. 

So I felt like I was treated like a king during this weekend living in a beautiful house, eating delicious food and learning to wakeboard. Perfect. 

See ya soon

Good times

It's been more fun the last three days. On tuesday and wednesday we had our talent shows. It was very fun and there were a big mix between fantastic performances and very bad performances. We have started to dance more serious on tuesday and just finished a great jazz-dance rutine, but our main dance teacher is leaving today so that's quite sad. We're going to have another dancer as a teacher who's also very good so that is good :)

About the musical. We have been working much more creative with trying to get a storyline for the musical we're doing in three weeks. When it's a musical we're doing it's quite obvious that we should get going with our creativeness so that is good isn't it?

So I am very happy and tomorrow me and some other people are going to lake placid here in south florida. When I heard the name of the lake I suddenly started to think if that was a name of a movie or if it just sounded like one. Well the movie that I thought of is about these monster snakes in the lake who kills all humans that comes there. That they are cleverer than humans and that they can sneak up on them and kill them very easily.

Wouldn't that be fun if it happened when we went there tomorrow so that when we go out on the boats we start seeing all these snakes in the water and after some hours they sneak up on us and pull us down in the water. Interresting right?

well well gonna go.

peace love and hamburgers

Fort Lauderdale

At first i was very happy about getting here to Fort Lauderdale to do this workshop with my friend and a lot of other teenagers from America. I thought that the workshop was going to be about making a musical and work hard for three weeks and then do two shows on this.

The first day when i got here i was very excited. I got to the campus and in to the dorms where i'm staying now. My dormroom is very big. It was very surprising to see that they gave me one big suite with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Everybody else got one room each and is sharing the suites.

This is good, that I have one suite for my self with no one else in it. Kind of unfare isn't it? Someone should be able to get one of the rooms that i'm not using.

Me and my friend so called Wanna are very bored of this place and we think we're dying. The workshop started today and i think it was the most silly day of our lives. Everybody were just playing around with different games getting to know each other and most of the time we were just sitting there like dikes wondering what the hell was going on. We didn't know anyone exept our precious song teacher Maria from Sweden. I thought we were going to dance today but once we got to the dance part...

We warmed up with some stretches and after maybe fifteen minutes it was over. Both me and Wanna definetly hope the day is going to be more exciting tomorrow and through the week or else I don't know what i'll do.

The travel to the US was quite funny. I had to take of my shoes around three times and i mean that was only on JFK new york airport. I also had to do it once in London hah wasn't that something? Why not just take of our clothes so that they can see if we didn't wrap any drugs around our bodies?

The city is very nice thou. It's like this very american city where all the malls are spread out all over the city with no typical center. Yesterday we on the campus went to the biggest grossery store i ever been to. It was almost as big as a football court and they were selling everything there is in foodway plus a lot of clothes and even big tv:s. Crazy crazy US and A.

I'm already starting to get a bit homesick, but i hope everything during this summer's gonna be all right.

Talk to ya soon =)

London Gatwick airport

thats right, im at the gatwick airport waiting for my flight to departure. i got two hours to wait in with nothing to do so i thought i could sit here for thirty minutes checking my mail and stuff. I got very confused at the check in because i thought i was going straight to fort lauderdale from here but now i found out i am travelling to jfk airport in new york, that i have to pick up my baggage, send it in somewhere else and then take another flight that goes to my destination from another gate than planned.

I hope that everything is going to be okay i mean i don't want to miss the flight do i?

Everything is always very confusing when it's about flying. Why couldn't they just let me fly all the way to fort lauderdale from here as it said on the ticket? silly isn't it?

I am starting to feel a little bit better about this whole thing that im away for two months. The day in London yesterday was perfect just to settle down and realize that i wasn't in Sweden anymore. I mean it wasn't to far away to feel sick and anxious just wanting to get home and sleep.

I almost slept all day and then we had fish and chips in the evening.

A very good start for my vacation :)

The first two month trip

Now when i'm not in Sweden where i'm actually from i'm going to write in English.
It is summer and the wheather is up and down all over the world. Right now i'm in London for a day right before i'm going to the states tomorrow taking part in a performing arts workshop called the Lovewell Institute.

The summer is going to be intence. The course is for three weeks in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and after these three weeks i'm travelling to Manilla in the Philippines to work as a Yoga instructor. I don't know how this is going to work because i don't feel prepared enough. As me as a dancer i think it is going to go quite well anyway. I can do what i am good at and be very friendly
and clear with the things i am showing.

I left Sweden yesterday in the evening and during the last few days i could not think of leaving at all. I hear about people who travel and stay out of their home for years, i am travelling for two months and i think that is hard.

When we are home, two months does not feel like a long time but when we travel for that amount of time it feels like ages.

Is there really no place like home? For some people travelling is freedom. In one way I agree and feel that when I leave my country for a long time I can feel free and live another life not to think about anything else than just relaxing, but usually one week of total relaxation is enough. One moth for the maximum.

When i visit my dad in Hong Kong or India where he lives I usually stay for a month. The last days of the month I usually feel like I just want to get home. Maybe because I miss my friends and all my other beloved or just that I can not be out of Sweden more than one month at the time.

Let us see how it goes now when I am out of my loving country more than one and a half month for the first time in my life.
