"Go Into Your Dance"

Greetings from NY once again. Things here have been uneventful recently; not too much to report on. I have just been hanging out and going to class; its become somewhat of a routine. I wake up, shower, eat breakfast, and get to class by 8:45 to stretch and warm up for class at 9. Then I come home at 12, eat lunch and watch The Tyra Banks Show, then go back for class at 1:15. I come home at 3 and do whatever I feel like. It varies from many things. Some days, I'll go shopping with my roomies, or hang out with some of my friends from class. Other days, I'll just chill in my dorm, eat, watch tv, and sleep.
Then on the weekends, I go out to my friend Jamiee's house in Long Island and stay Sat-Sun. She belongs to a private beach club, so we go swimming and lay out all day, all weekend. Its fantastic! Everytime I go out, which has been every weekend so far, there is some form of activity for the night. First weekend, I saw a Billy Joel cover-band concert on the beach, then the next weekend, we went to a Dennis Deyoung (lead singer of the Styx...I think is what Jamiee told me) concert in the park. It got boring real fast, so I ended up going to my friend Vikki's house, and we went jacuzzi-ing. Then this past weekend, on wednesday night, I went and saw the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It was the first showing of the movie in the country, so that was pretty awesome! The movie was FANTASTIC, and I just saw it for the second time the other day.
I'm really excited for the 7th and last Harry Potter book to be released tomorrow (friday) night at midnight. So being the giant dork that I am, I will go wait in line to get my book with all of the other die-hard Harry Potter fans like myself. My plan is to read all day Saturday to find out how the series ends because if I don't, someone will accidentally blurt it out on the street, then I'll find out, and I'll be beyond upset.
Anywho, on an issue most of you have probably heard about on the news. Yes, the "Earth has opened" as many print ads have been says. Yesterday (wednesday), on 41st and Lexington Ave., an 83 year old pipe exploded sending a bus, a piece of concrete the size of 2 kitchen tables, pieces of pipe, and a billowing wall of asbestos-filled steam into the air. 1 person was killed, 50-something people injured, and 2 people received third-degree burns on 90% of their body. It was a tragic experience to be so close to. Luckily, I'm about 20 blocks away from where it happened, but it was still scary because it could have happened anywhere.
So, yea...life is going really well out here in NY. My best friend Courtney, who was supposed to come to the Ailey program with me, but didn't because she injured her back a couple hours before we were flying out, is coming to visit me with her parents for the weekend. She is arriving today, and I'm going to meet them for dinner tonight. My other really good friends Kelly and Cassie will be coming out on Sunday and staying till Thursday. So it'll be nice to see some familiar faces and people from home.
I miss everyone terribly, and can't wait to come home, see my family, and get back to work. I have a long year ahead of me. It will be my senior year, plus a reality show will be shot at my school next year, starring me and 5 of my friend in our persuit to balance work, school, dance, and putting on a production. So each of us will be receiving our own camera crew for the ENTIRE year, and it will be airing later this year on either ABC Family, MTV, or A&E. More details to come at a later date.
Hope everything is well with everyone! Miss you all!
Love love love!!! :)
