Today my internet was installed! Yay! I'm almost all settled in my apartment, and I've been cooking, cleaning, laundering. This is our second week of classes, and I can't even describe how sore I am. C'est la vie, non?
I've had the chance to visit more places in Pittsburgh. Last weekend I went Downtown and the Strip. There is an amazing street market every weekend with lots of interesting stores and foods. I also witnessed the craziness of Steelers' fans. All of Pittsburgh, it seems, is obsessed with the Steelers. Saturday, the day before the Steelers/Ravens game, the market was crowded with Steelers' memorabilia.
Onto ballet!!! Our day begins super early at the ripe hour of eight o'clock. The schedule changes all the time, but we usually have technique first. We also have pilates, pointe, partnering, jazz, modern, and of course rehearsals. We've started learning Waltz of the Flowers (oh the joy of Nutcracker season) as well as a contemporary piece being performed early October.
Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre is doing Peter Pan, Nutcracker, Uncommon, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Coppelia. I'm excited to be seeing all the hard work the company goes through before putting these pieces on stage, and I hope that I can be a part of it.
I promise to write more interesting posts once I get more settled. Promise!
