Halfway through my busy, busy week and I am ready to crash! Unfortunately I have to finish my Women's Studies project. But I need a study break soooo bad. I've been doing non-stop schoolwork since 3 today, so painful. Hopefully it will all pay off when I ace my Chem Lab exam. Well, when I pass my Chem Lab exam.
So far I'm enjoying my Women's Studies project. I chose eating disorders and dancers for my topic. This topic is pretty close to my heart, since I grew up in a dance studio, and suffered from an eating disorder myself. While doing some research I discovered this great documentary called A Beautiful Tragedy. I have yet to watch the entire film, but it fascinates me. The Russian Ballet world has always been of interest to me, and watching the struggle of the girls in the documentary is heartbreaking. Watching the girls practice for hours on end to the point of tears, stretching in any of their free time, striving for perfection, and the way they pick at their food really brought back memories for me. Talking about dance always makes me a little sad I decided against pursuing it any further than I did, but I made the best choice for my health. Every time I have a break from school I go back home to the studio and get all my dancing out at least. It isn't the same, but I signed up for a Modern Dance course next year. I'm hoping that will make my body happier. It has been aching lately, I feel that it wants to move the way it used it.
On a lighter subject, I have found a new way to soothe my soul: Carrot Juice. Something about it just makes my whole body relax. Over break I asked my mother if I often ate carrot baby food, but she couldn't remember. My theory is that it was one of my favorites, because the sense of calm and serenity I receive after drinking that juice is unparalleled. Maybe I'll ask my dad next time, he has a better memory. Regardless it is fantastic and I truly recommend it!
