This is not to say that my semester will be any easier than usual. In fact, this will probably be the most difficult yet (can't believe I'm saying that after chem 391). I'm TAing (chem 391, of all classes), I'm working in the lab (trying to get enough data for a paper so that I can put that on my application for...), I'm applying to chemistry PhD programs, and I have other things going on that have yet to come to full fruition and so I'll hold off on announcing via blog just yet.
Oh, and I'm sticking around for World of Dance this week (which means I'll be in the deJong every day from 5-10 this week), I'm taking four chemistry classes (2 lab classes = 13 hours/week, plus chem 521 and chem 514 = not easy), I have a 15 page paper in French on Occitan culture in southern France due in three weeks (that I have yet to actually start writing anything for), I'm (sort of?) the president of Y Chem and have an opening social to plan. Life centered around ballroom is over. Being a member of the team has been, without a doubt, the greatest part of my college experience. I am so grateful for the involvement that I have had with the company. Lee and Linda have been incredible to work with, and my teammates have been so wonderful.
I'm really glad that I have one more chance to dance this week during World of Dance.
And it would be really awesome if you guys could come, because this is it for me. This is the end of a ten-year long crazy involvement with ballroom. This is the last time I will be performing, possibly (and probably) forever.
So maybe if you're not doing anything, you could come and see my exit from the art that has held my attention and passion for so long. It would really, really, really mean a lot.
Here's the website where you can buy tickets if you're interested.

Love you Katie, and you really are amazing!
Just so you know, I almost cried this morning when you told the team that you were not going to be on team anymore. Love you BABE!!!
I love your optimism! You are so talented in so many areas and it would be hard to narrow it down to one thing.
Can't wait to see you dance on Saturday!

coming :)
Katie, How I would love to come to your dance performance. It disappoints me that I never saw one..except for the home videos! It sounds like you have made a very tough decision and I'm happy that you are in a good place with it. Moving forward! Best of luck to Aaron on his interview.

It sounds like you made a very difficult decision and that it is the right one for you. Moving forward is a good thing! Best of luck to Aaron on his interview. Uncle Alex and I are looking forward to meeting him.
