Shadowed on a Cloudy Day

Enjoying one of few days off, I’m struggling to find the energy to be productive. Colorado is having a strange spell of unusually cloudy weather and I’m longing for some sunshine and brightness. My list of things to accomplish grows each day and I’m finding that it’s harder and harder to stay motivated. I had my first Biology exam yesterday and I’m certain I missed 5 questions which brings me down to at least a 90%. The real reason is I slacked off and didn’t finish reading the last chapter necessary for the exam. On the brighter side of things, I’ve been asked to be a guest performer by a very experienced choreographer for a dance performance. One night after class, my instructor asked if I’d be interested in a being a guest performer for one of his productions. Asked how much experience I’d had in dance, I replied that I had never been formally trained, I just love to dance. He told me I had the potential to be REALLY GOOD and I agreed to participate. Last night I had rehearsal and let me tell you…it kicked my ass. The moves and instruction are on a completely different level. Nothing but a healthy challenge to shake things up a bit!

This weekend I’m taking some time off of work to spend time with a friend who’s flying in from Pittsburg. I’ll have class tomorrow and then pick her up at the airport in Denver. It should be loads of fun and I’m just happy to keep my social realm intact. We’re gonna head up to Fort Collins so I can reunite with Team DJ and then probably hit up Six Flags on the way back down to the Springs. I find myself getting so wrapped up and consumed by the daily grind that I sometimes forget to take time for me and enjoy the experiences and friendships life has to offer. I’m really hoping that I’ll be renewed and re-inspired to get back on track and continue to follow my goals and aspirations.
