As I mentioned last time , the Dance Department's Studio Dress Rehearsal for The Nutcracker was this past Saturday. Studio Dress is that magical day when we finally put all the bits and pieces of T he Nutcracker together and run the show as if it were... well... one show. We ran the production twice...
Pointe shoes. Lots and lots of pointe shoes. In the lobby of Clowes, during the Nutcracker performances, we hold a Nutcracker boutique. Decorated pointe shoes are part of the boutique. This is actually a huge fundraiser, and this past weekend, I helped the pledges of Sigma Rho Delta (honorary dance fraternity...
Week Two. Two dreaded words. But that is two words, and with NaNoWriMo , it's the words that count. Any words. Please let me have words. Week Two is famously difficult. Plots stall, ideas seem not so great, and I'm left with trying to reconcile a ninja-ballerina plot thread with the brother-sister...
Why am I up this late on a Friday night? It's Nutcracker Spirit Weekend, of course! Sigma Rho Delta , the honorary dance fraternity, helps the department a lot during Nutcracker season. When we kept scheduling things for this one weekend that were Nutcracker-related, we decided to informally christen...
I've done a lot of things in the past two days, and many of those things were not related to the English papers that are due in under a week. Yay? Friday night: Student Choreography went pretty well. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to dance in it this year! (I refrained from participating last...

So it has been a pretty intense week here at Butler. I woke up Wednesday morning to my roommate telling me that there were about 6 girls on the floor including her who were all sick....little did I know that it was just the beginning of what we have come to call the Butler Plague. So the rest of the...
Every year the Nutcracker is performed by the Butler Ballet. I've always loved musicals and theatre, so I was really looking forward to seeing this show. On Friday night, my friends and I went to see the ballet. Not only was it amazing, but it was especially fun because we got to pick out and watch...
The holiday season has begun, and I am SO busy! I'll begin quickly with my Thanksgiving weekend. I was only home for 6 days, from Monday to Saturday, and I worked my butt off! I worked 5 out of those 6 days back at home, and the l only day I didn't work was Thanksgiving, because the store was...
