Too cold...

Well, it is to cold out to do anything! I just want to stay in my apartment all day cuddled up in a blanket with good movies and not worry about going anywhere.  I would be okay with spring coming any day now!! I hope the groundhog doesn't see his shadow on the 2nd so we get to have an early spring. Wishful thinking I know... but it would be really nice!

I am glad this week has kinda been a chill week, because after running around all last week, I am pooped!  I just wish that classes would have been cancelled this week because it was honestly too cold to walk outside to the school.  And it would have been a nice break :]

Here are the videos of our dances that we did Hawaiian weekend.  It was so much fun to perform these and see the crowds reaction! It was a lot of hard work to choreograph these as a team, but I think we did a pretty good job-- if I do say so my self!! :]

SMSU Dance Team- Hip Hop 2013

Anyways, I am very excited for my TV shows to start up again!! Smash starts here on Wednesday and I think my show starts on Lifetime here soon too!! Ahh, its going to be hard to do my school work because I will want to watch them all the time. Its gonna be bad.  

HAWAIIAN WEEK!!!

WOW. What a week. Sorry I have posted in a while, this week has been absolutely nuts!! And it was a short week! It felt like it was 4 weeks long but I loved every minute of it. Hawaiian Week- if you aren't sure what it is- is basically our winter homecoming.  The week started off with a fun Mentalist show.  Eric Dittelman was the mentalist and he was crazy good! I couldn't believe how he could tell what you were thinking or predict the outcomes of certain tricks.  It was amazing!  On Wednesday  you could get a free haircut in the SC done by the cosmetology school in Pipestone.  Thursday there there was a 90's dance, and it was super fun to dance the night away and blow off some steam! Then on Friday  the weekend of basketball started!! (my favorite part! :] )  Friday we played Upper Iowa, and then Saturday we played Winona.

In the midst of all these activities, I had dance practice every evening! I don't think I sat down for more than 20 minutes, or so it seemed.  But we worked out behinds off and we looked amazing this weekend!! (videos to come shortly!)  The crowd loved our dances and it feels amazing to know that people do watch and care about us!! It was definitely a struggle to get to this weekend and to be able to even perform at the games, but in the end everything worked out and we got to perform!! And it was the best feeling ever!! I love my team so much!

Also on Saturday, we had to give tours to prospective students.  Hawaiian night tours are some of the most fun tours to give during the school year because everyone is so excited for the game that evening and it the energy is nuts! To the left here is a picture of all the SMSU Ambassadors getting ready for Hawaiian Night tours! We all love to dress up in our leis to show our school spirit!

My roomate, Casie and I before tours! 

Happy Hawaiian Night! 

So, thats all for now! I am sure more pictures and videos are to come here as they are added to Facebook  I hope you all had a great weekend as well! 

first time blogger!

Well this is definitely an interesting experience... but I think blogging will be fun!

I am a dance team fanatic.  I love going to competitions, watching other teams, watching videos online, and being on a dance team.  And this weekend is the UDA College and High School National Competition in FL! I wish I could be there and see all the amazing teams in person, but i guess watching online will have to do for now.  One day I WILL coach a nationally ranked and winning team, it is one of my goals in life! How cool would it be to say that you were apart of a team that was the best in the whole country? I think that would be awesome.  And I will be one of those crazy coaches that jumps around and cheers for her team like no other!
This video is what I aspire to be someday :] haha (not really the lady that cries though... thats a bit dramatic)

I love being on a team too. I get to see some of my best friends almost everyday and I get to dance all at the same time! Its the best!! Here at SMSU, we are just a club too, so we don't have a coach.  It is a student lead team and we are pretty good- if I do say so myself- for not having a coach and making up all of our own routines.  We do have an awesome advisor that helps us out a ton, we couldn't do it all with out her!  I am really super excited for next week, because its HAWAIIAN NIGHT!  We perform at all the basketball games next weekend, and it is an absolute blast.  It is crazy chaotic, but I love it.  Come check it out if you are in town!

This is my wonderful dance team!! 

The first week of classes is almost done, and I am very ready for this long weekend.  Even though it is going to be freezing out side, it will be perfect inside to chill with my roommates and watch movies!
