Dear Diary,
Hi and remember last time I told you about my very first ballet show? Well, Miss Alice-my ballet teacher-has some news!
Firstly, we are NOT going to be dancing on grass, we're going to be dancing on a bandstand. The bandstand is a circle so Miss Alice decided to use this stick with roses and leaves-so it looks like it's decoration not a front showing thing-to show where the front is. Obviously though, as she clearly pointed out, we wouldn't be facing away from our parents so the stick is mainly for the little kids.
Last practice, my partner Hamish had kind of sharp nails because it dug into my waist when he had to 'help' lift me up during a jump. Nell wasn't here so Olli had to manage on his own. Phoebe and Sebastian were here so only one pair was incomplete.
Last practice, Miss(she's married but we still call her Miss not Ms or Mrs) Jennifer was here with the costumes. Well, she brought like a back up costume in case the actual tutu one didn't work. Then, she showed us these mini tutus and we all laughed hysterically. That was when she spilled the beans(the second news in case you're thinking she spilt baked beans on the floor)...
The second news was, SHE WANTED ME TO BE IN THE GRADE 3 BALLET CLASS DANCE BECAUSE THIS GIRL MIGHT DROP OUT ON THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it! I mean, we have like, 2 lessons left and 1 dress rehearsal! Yes, Miss Jennifer said I could pick things up quickly but, NOT A WHOLE DANCE WITH A WHOLE DIFFERENT CLASS IN 3 PRACTICES!!!! Gosh, I'm so annoyed. I was like 'Thanks for letting me know so soon Miss Jennifer (NOT!) in my head and I still am!
...I'm completely humiliated! Miss Jennifer made me try on a mini tutu and I told her, "Uh, I don't think it's going to fit." I mean, really, I said that. Then, she said, "Oh it will, trust me." and annoyingly, IT DID! I mean it looked like a 3 year old could wear it, not GRADE 3(and now a broken record of Grade 4, 10 year old)! Urgh! What am I going to do?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
