Blog on Life: Wednesday, 4/23/14

I woke up today feeling fresher than normal. Is that even an understandable term? Well, after I woke up, I had my usual morning routine and went straight to practicing dance today. I dedicated myself to an hour to and hour and a half of practice time to get my practice done. While I danced, I saw an improvement that I had been struggling with for a long time and the fact that I had finally gotten what I had hoped for was the best feeling yet. Dance is a form of meditation, relaxation, enjoyment, and passion all combined into one. With enough dedication to the art form, I am able to maintain a clean and simple life path which helps to drive me towards the right direction in my future. Right after finishing my practice, I went back to my room and got my homework completed. I finally finished the research and powerpoint for biology. I sometimes wonder why I have not even approached the class thinking that there is only about 5 weeks left of it? I think of it as if I have the class forever and the pain that I get with that class will stick forever. It's not as if the teacher does not try or put an effort to teach, it's just that the work we get done does not correlate to the concepts that we learn or what we are supposed to learn. Oh well, I'll just think of it like we have about 5 weeks left of the class and freedom awaits. I then quickly showered and went straight to practicing singing. 

Practicing singing is completely different than dancing. Though both have rhythm and the same motives in mind, singing is a form of enhancing what the composers have given to us. Making a song feel the emotion given by the meaning of it as well as the correct attention to detail is harder than it seems. I focus constantly in staying in the right pitch and tune, yet there are times when hitting the higher notes are hard for me. I just need to believe that I can hit them, because I can. The fear is what is putting me into a phase of discomfort and disbelief in myself. The rest of my day was pretty calm and casual, as I studied a little bit of WHAP and watched TV after eating diner at night. I also played with my younger brother, which brings great joy to my life. That about sums up my work-driven day!
