Sick/Run Through

So recently I have acquired a wonderful cold that is just really ruining my days. I can still dance but I have coughing fits after every time we run a song. This is getting rather annoying but life goes on.

For the past couple of days we have been doing run through of our shows about once a day. This is really good for us since we are finally starting to piece together the show that we have been working so hard on. Every time we run a show we put up a show list so that we know what we are doing for the run through. As of the past two runs of the show I have been dancing in seven specialty dances which takes a lot of energy. Surprisingly I am not singing at all in the show as of now. This has me a little confused since I was pulled aside in the beginning quite a bit to sing certain songs. I can't really complain though because I am dancing so much that I would hardly have time to sing anything anyway. The dancing is starting to come together I believe that by Wednesday, which is our performance for our host families, the whole cast should have a pretty decent show put together not perfect by any means but presentable.

The other day I was walking out of our room where we have lunch and our cast manager, Jen Moody, started talking to me and she said that I was looking really skinny. I went home that night and weighed myself and discovered that I have lost almost thirteen pounds since the start of staging. I am really loving that since now I am starting to get back into shape.
