Hi. I'm terrible at keeping this blog (who knows how many times I've attempted to post "meaningful things" and then discarded them), Hopefully this time I'll last a little longer.

I'm currently on my first week of summer, and it's been pretty relaxing. I have plenty of work to do over the break, but I should be able to cope with them. Oddly enough, I kind of miss SG. This year is so different from my first year there; I've made a lot more friends, and I became more comfortable with just being Veronica. I'm still often awkward, but I think I'm on the right track of being who I am.
Speaking of being myself, I discovered my passion for dancing. I've been a part of SG's dance program for two years now, and this year's concert was a particularly incredible experience. I think I really went all out to perform, and surprisingly, I wasn't nervous on stage. I also had the opportunity to work on a choreography with my friend Catherine. The picture above is from our dance. I would say it leaned towards hip-hop, and the song we used was Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz. It was a really interesting experience; neither of us had choreographed anything before, so it was a long and difficult process. The result was really good though. We received lots and lots of compliments after the concert. "The mask one was really cool", sweet compliments like this made me really happy.
Wearing a mask was very appropriate for this dance. It was meant to be extremely creepy (hopefully not uncomfortable to watch), and I would not be able to do that without my mask. I could be as creepy as I wished to be with the mask on. This is an interesting oxymoron - I need to mask myself in order to be myself (?). Anyway, at least I'm becoming comfortable to show my "creepy side". Wearing a mask is just the first step. Next year Catherine and I will definitely come up with something even better, and I'm sure by the time we perform, I won't need to wear a mask.
* I'm so glad that we worked hard enough to put on a good performance. He was there in the audience... I hope he was entertained, or even slightly surprised/fascinated by my inner freak. I couldn't be any more grateful to be a part of this concert. For myself, for my friends, and for him.

It's been 12 days since I last saw him. It feels like years already...
I know I can never say this to you, but I miss you. I hope those lumi drumsticks treat you well.
