i just finished making my first syllabus for the fall
i can't believe i'm doing this
pretending in a way
and knowing that god has so faithfully equipped me to go forward and...impart?
or something

i've been studying quite a bit
and have even been required to write a brief essay to fulfill hiring requirements
i feel like i'm in school again
much more than i did when i was actually in school

i've had the pleasure of again reading through some of agrippina vaganova's work
her insight into ballet
and my own application of how it all applies to real life
has been refreshing and eye opening
it fits into a neat and tidy box with parallels so parallel i cannot ask for more
god has been teaching me many things as i study the art and science of teaching this dance form

i leave you with this and a photo of my newest hero. i think we would have gotten on quite well.

"look at life all around; everything is growing, everything is moving forward. therefore i recommend... keeping in touch with life and with art."
