I have not forgotten about my promise to blog about everything! I have been having difficulty uploading the pictures I have taken, but I have decided that you all have waited long enough and to go ahead and post without them.

My first airplane ride was great! I sat next to a cute, young couple that didn't speak any English and I didn't throw up. Mission accomplished.

My three suitemates are fabulous! We get along very well. There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living space and kitchen in our suite. We are not allowed to use the stove or oven which is very sad since the cafeteria food is digusting, but everything else about our apartment is perfect.

The Orlando Ballet School has seven, beautiful studios at it's central campus and two at it's south campus. The levels from highest to lowest are E (for ensemble), 1, 2, 3 and 4. I am in level 2. Everyone takes five classes a day starting at 10am and ending at 5pm Monday - Friday. On Saturdays we just have two classes and Sundays are our days off. Classes include two technique classes and pointe, partnering, jazz, character, contemporary, musical theater, stretch/conditioning and repertoire. My level is performing Waltz of the Hours from Swan Lake and a character dance at the end of the program.

The faculty and guest teachers here are amazing! All of my teachers love what they're doing and are so inspiring to watch and listen to. I keep a journal of everything from advice to encouragement to corrections my teachers give me. I'm learning so much!

I'm ready for week two!
