As the winter season is coming to a climax I find that my schedule is becoming more and more busy. Not with school work, not with relatives, but with Nutcracker rehearsals. Since I dance in not only both casts but both Acts as well I have to be at every rehearsal for the full length. That means rehearsals from either 2 or 3pm to 9 or 9:30pm every day. I love the back-stage atmosphere though so I hope it never ends.
