presentations

Unfortunately because of my car issues and my mother being admitted into the hospital I was only able to attend one day of presentations, which is unfortunate because i truly enjoy seeing what fellow students put together and see their prerogative on things as well as see the fruits of all of their research, especially since our class is not as outspoken as out 1101 class in discussions. I really enjoyed the presentation on Isabel Allende, it was full of so much information it really made me want to pick up one of her novels, I felt like i got to know her, as well as her life, and her writing style.

just when you think

So I thought my string of bad luck finally came to an end, oh how I was wrong, Sunday was a normal slow day at work, it was my second set and I was just practicing some moves trying to make the best out of a slow night and at the last few moments of my last song on top I decided to do something I do often and slid onto my knees, I guess something went wrong because my left knee dislocated. at first everyone thought I just busted my ass but when u didn't get up they realized something else must have been wrong, by the time the bouncer came to carry me off stage I already popped my knee back into place, as the adrenaline ran low I started feeling a good amount of pain and then it subsided. Hoping everything was all right I iced it for a while took off my smeared make-up and started re-applying it then put my heels back on and decided i would try and take the stage again. bad idea, just getting up the stairs was excruciating. So the next morning I dragged myself out of bed and to the doctor, they told me to keep off it and that if in a week it didn't feel any better I would need an MRI which is unfortunate because i do not have health insurance and since both my jobs involve me dancing in heels, which i cannot even stand in right now I have no idea how i am going to pay for these medical bills and live my everyday life. It would make me so sad if i could not dance or perform anymore, or make money to support myself, and help my family. I am just going to continue to think positively and hope everything turns out well. Hopefully it is just some swelling and discomfort and that i did not tear my Meniscus or ACL.

getting better

So I have had a string of bad luck lately. First i am out of a car for two weeks then when i finally get my car back my mother is admitted to the hospital. Hopefully that is the end of my bad luck and everything goes up. So far so good, i have my car back and all i have to do is get a new system in it which is the least of my worries. My mother got out of the hospital last night, and i found out i have a really good paying gig at club cameo in south beach on holloween weekend. I also hope school will start getting better, not having a car really backed up my progress in my classes.

sometimes i think a horse would be easier

its now been a week and six days sense i have been able to use my car. and to say the least i feel useless. i am barely ever home and eve when i have my car my life is a whirlwind, school, practice work, homework, not always in that exact order but i struggle even then to fit everything into my schedule, now add the fact that i have to bum rides or beg my mom to use her car and it makes it impossible. considering i have things to do from Miami to almost west palm in a daily basis i am going crazy. hopefully my grades and bank account will not suffer too badly.
