Reaching the finish line

I did it y'all! I tried out for So You Think You Can Dance. It was actually a pretty lame-o experience, BUT on the bright side, I know how to get past the judges for future reference so maybe if I'm still wanting to try out next year, I'll know how to go about it better. Here's the scoop...when we got there (after waiting for about 3 hours) the preliminary judges asked us to raise our hands as to which style of dance we were trying out with. However, about 99.9% of the thousands of people who were there were jazz/contemporary including *raises her hand* you guessed it! Anyway, they said that only like 200 people tried out in Dallas...good thing that's where I'll be this time next year eh? But because there were so many of us, they had to start cracking down on all of us "unoriginal" sort. For the first hour and a half to two hours, they were handing tickets out like students hand out flyers in the WILK. (For those of you who never went to BYU...thats a LOT)!:) Anyway, after that amount of time, one of the judges got up and was like, because there are so many of you with this style, we have to be really selective, so pretty much, unless you are doing partner work or something really out of the ordinary with cool tricks we haven't seen before, you wont get through to the judges. How true that is! haha. So I basically sat in an auditorium and stood outside for a total of 7 hours to dance for 10 seconds...that's right...thats all the time we were given. It was still a really cool experience though. I'm glad I did it. No regrets remember?! And like I said, the good thing is, everyone that did partner work got through, so I'm sayin...booyah! Now all I have to do is find a guy that's a sucker that can work his way around the dance floor and is preferrably not gay. hahah. I got to sit next to and make friends with a black guy today though, so that's always good. I miss them...a lot. :) Anyway, I really gotta do homework now, I just thought I'd keep yall posted! XOXOXO
