Countdown: 25 Days to go

Today was a fun day! 

I woke up to my mom's plans of going on a hike with our neighbors across the street. Just as I was getting ready, my friend FaceTime'd me and asked me if I could join her family on their visit to the beach. I weighed my options: hike with three little kids or a beach getaway with my best friend. The choice was obvious. An hour later, I was en route to the beach!

I had a great time at Cannon Beach. The weather was lovely. We walked on the beach. We had lunch. We laid down and soaked up the Sun. We tried not to get sand in our eyes, but failed. Before we knew it, it was time to pack up our things and head back home so I could make it to my 7pm dance practice.

Today, the plan was to wrap up my mom's song. I had barely taken my shoes off, tightened my chunni, and stepped inside, when Anu aunty began the cues for my first item instead. From then on, it was non-stop run through of four of my items. I somehow had the stamina to last the rigor of these items. Other than the fact that I was fully drenched in sweat and my bottu got melted, I managed to get out of it unscathed!

25 more days until my preparation is put to test!
