so about day 1 and 2

So I've made it through the first two days!!!! A little sore and tired but the good kind. :)
In having a blog and being a part of the company I am first supposed to mention that COMMENTS/THOUGHTS/THINGS WRITTEN ON THIS BLOG ARE OPINIONS OF ONLY ME AND DO NOT INVOLVE OR REFLECT ANY OPINIONS OF THE COMPANY.

That being said- everything has been great! Honestly. Yesterday I got to the studio pretty early and went through orientation (going through paperwork, insurance stuff, pay etc) for a couple hours. It reminded me of the first day of school when teachers go over the syllabus. Haha. Everyone introduced themselves and are a PERFECT fit for their roles. I'm so excited!!! After talking to the director/choreographer and music director for a while we went right to work. Started on some numbers and were told at the end of the day to be prepared to jump- every morning for an hour straight.. time to get WHIPPED! whew. It was a productive work day on music- I felt like we sounded so sharp! Everyone is really talented and committed to this project which really put me into place. Not saying I wasn't this way before or have never worked w/people like this but I don't know-- rehearsing in NYC, having that whole "professional/real world" feel has just been inspiring and MOTIVATING. It's a challenge and I've just been feeling really positive about it all- I'm just gunna keep working hard...can't go wrong with that, right?

Day 2- today.
We started our first 40 min to an hour jump rope session. We were all pretty nervous but honestly had a lot of fun! It wasn't TOO intense hahaha. For me, I'm not a pro jump roper but I wasn't as bad as I thought I was going to be hahah. I feel like the more I work on it the better. I was watching a bunch of the videos before I got there this morning and got super intimidated but really pumped. It's going to be  a challenge but NOT impossible. It's something -while watching I was thinking "um...woah" but then "wow if I could actually do this at one point it'd be pretty cool". So tomorrow I'm called in to keep jumping- I'll keep you updated on how far I get! It's a rush ahhhhhh

The company and production team are so excited about our production which is exciting. They've been with the show since the beginning workshops which is cool because they know EVERYTHING you need to know about it. There were some mentions of Jerry Mitchell coming into rehearsals- gahkfjlhgergjdlkndllrajnl. SO surreal! OH and the PUPPIES!!!!! sosooooooo cuteeeee!!!!

After our jump roping we had some lunch then reviewed music and learned some more. Singing through OMIGOD You Guys was another moment where a bunch of us girls were like "wait. is this happening?" haha...it made me feel good that I wasn't alone in my excitement go.

So YES- rehearsals are great and NYC is unpredictable and fun :). I'm starting to get into a routine!!! wheeee

In other thoughts- it's kind of weird hearing about everyone getting back to classes and school and me not going back. I mean don't get me wrong I couldn't be happier here!... just a tad strange to not be going to school anymore. But again, I'm kinda really happy about it at the same time. CHANGE. is good. God is in it all.
BEST wishes to all heading back to classes! I AM thinking about you guys <3
