Butterflies fly away!

Only a short 9 DAYS until I jump on my plane and head to Melbourne!
I am beyond nervous now!
As my training is full time ( more than full time) I will need to work in the evenings.. I have been applying for jobs like crazy! It's proving difficult, to find work within those certain hours.

I am moving over with nothing but myself, a suitcase, my fees paid and hopefully my new dance uniforms and shoes all purchased!

With all my fundraising plans moving now, I am hoping to create a small cushion to survive on - Might need to buy a giant bag of rice when I arrive! ;)

Pledgeme is steadily moving towards it's goal and it's deadline!! I have had some amazing support so far, so thank you! <3
With 4 days left, I have $411 to raise.. So please have a look and see if you can donate :)

I had a garage sale yesterday afternoon with my friend Kat, who is heading to Paris for the next year at least!
We made a bit towards our travels :)

With the left over clothing, I have photos on facebook.. everything is $5.. please have a look and comment 'yes' on any item you would like! It needs to all go this week!! And it leaves me with money to feed myself, hopefully until I get work...

I will then be free from 90% of my worldly possessions, and all my friends can have new clothes for cheap!

I can't believe that after 18 years, the day has come that I will be dancing for a LIVING! all day, 6 days a week. There are three extraordinary  woman I would like to thank Heather Lomas, Heather Johns and Julie Anterrieu. These 3 woman have trained, shaped and mentored me since I was 7 years old. I would not be the woman and dancer I am today without you! I hope to make you all proud. Thank you for all the advice, pain, tears and opportunities you have given me.

Halfway there

The days are flying by. It's now been 2 weeks since I found out I am leaving!
I have sorted though all my belongings, started selling, giving away and throwing out.
I am down to the bare essentials now, and it feels very strange!

This is a big move to do alone! I'm pretty nervous!

I am working hard to get myself ready for this new chapter.. Trying to keep my body strong with dance class and yoga. I am certain I will still get my ass kicked from day once- and I can't wait.

I have been waiting for this kind of opportunity my whole life. So even though it's hard, and there are people and things I don't want to leave behind- I have to keep my head up, and power on!

So I am aiming to be out in 15 days!
I only get one week with the best job ever, Master Dylan Hynes! I think I will die when I say goodbye to him

Things to watch out for:

My pledgeme of course!

Dreams do come true

Dreams do come true.

Last week, while I was on holiday in Melbourne I went to visit the performing Arts school I was interested in.
After a long but casual talk with them.. They turned around to say to me 'hey, this is gonna freak you out but we want to audition you tomorrow morning'.

Yeah. no. biggie.
Anyway, of course I accepted. What could go so wrong? That they would hate me and send me home.
No pressure.

Off I went at 10am the next day.
Under prepared, in socks, shorts and a singlet (Was not ready!!) I warmed up..
After just the technique, they offered me a place. They didn't even follow through with teaching me the 2 combinations they said they would.

This kind of opportunity comes once in a lifetime right?
They only take 25 student in the course a year. Out of the whole world.
The pressure came when they said, 'You start 22nd July- this year'

So now I am flat out selling my stuff, throwing stuff out and trying to earn money to pay for this!

I have so much to leave behind.
But so much to look forward to.
