Recital and bread.

I actually managed to squeeze three days off from work in a row during the busy holiday season!!! Wow! I took 2 of these days off for my bellydance recital, and the last day for school.

The recital went very well, and I am so glad that I got a chance to participate...I was so scared that I wouldn't get the days off for dress rehearsal and performance day, and that all of my practicing would go down the drain! I danced in 6 routines last night! 6!!! By the time I got home, I could barely muster the energy to peel off my wig and scrape all of the stage makeup off of my face....I even have glitter on my cell phone! Only one drawback...with being in so many routines, I didn't get to see any performances from my classmates in other levels or who did solos or duets...that sucked. I hope that a lot of people took video and pictures..I can't wait to see.

So, it's late in the school semester and final exams are looming...my final next week is to make a bread of my own. I took the time to practice at home today, just to make sure my recipe wasn't a failure before the exam. Thank God it worked properly! I made cloverleaf dinner rolls with herbs inside. They came out really well, and I'm so proud of myself! Now, I know that I can confidently make bread with out any help.

All in all, a good weekend (cuz I never get weekends!! ;0)), and a good Monday (got out of class early!!). But tomorrow...it's back to the grind...fish, burgers, sandwiches and hot grease burns will be back to welcome me home.

Until next time,

B.D. Chef.
