Countdown: 29 Days to go!

It's June 15th, 29 more days to go till my Rangapravesam! 

The fact that it is less than a month away is stressing me out a bit, but today was a pretty productive day in terms of dance prep.

This morning, I woke up feeling super exhausted (probably because I was up late talking to my friends on FaceTime). After eating idly breakfast, I began practicing the items from the first half of the program. I was able to do my first two pieces with full energy, but, by the time I finished doing the initial slokam of the third (main) item, I felt too tired to continue on. I had a two-hour class with Anu aunty scheduled shortly after, so it felt right to stop my morning practice at that point.

At class, we were able to finish a good chunk of the last song (one written by my mom) and that made me feel more confident with my progress. We also revised the Hanuman item which we hadn't worked on in a while, and recorded the audio so I could practice at home. Although ]no intense dancing happened during the class, I left there feeling even more exhausted than I did in the morning. I was satisfied with how much we completed at class, but, to be honest, I was still worried about whether I would perfect all the items in time for the big day.

To my surprise, after the class, my mom offered to take me out to get a smoothie and satiate my craving for a sweet treat. That outing gave me a lot of energy and helped me end the day on a more positive note!

See you tomorrow!
