Observations that Aren't Related

1. You can't judge a person based on first impressions when you meet them early in the morning.
This morning I went into work at 6:30. Yaaayyy... I had also gotten five hours of sleep the night before. and I was working with people I didn't know. It was shaping up to be a good day. Or not. So anyway, one of the girls I was working with was very.... to the point. She just seemed to have this mentality of "I'm here to work and that's all." Which is very different from me, as I want to have fun no matter where I am or what I'm doing. Because What's life if you're not enjoying it? So anyway... she was rather intimidating. I don't think I saw her smile all morning. But then, right before I left, she started talking to me, and seemed to be really nice. So who knows. Maybe she was just as tired as I was. So, I'm starting to learn to hold back my judgement early in the morning.

2. Dancers who have contemporary backgrounds have a hard time doing other styles because they don't have any technique.
I'm watching So You Think You Can Dance, right? Because I LOVE that show. And it seems like contemporary dancers aren't doing too well. My theory is, because they don't have the technique training. Just my thought. But, I mean like, Melanie won last year, and she was a contemporary dancer and, let's face it, she was fantastic. Not to mention adorable. But that's not the point. She also was technically trained, which is part of why she was so fantastic. Anywho, that's just my rant.(But I still really respect people who have no professional training.)

Sunrise

So on our last day of vacation, we had this great idea to go see the sunrise before we left. We looked online and found out that the sunrise was at 5:45. So we all got up at 5:25 and trooped over to the ocean to see the sun come up. This sounds like a really good idea. Like, check-it-off-the-bucket-list good. It's such a romantic idea, getting up early to see the sun rise over the beach. Yeah.

So we got up promptly at 5:28 this morning and rolled out of bed. Put on a sweatshirt, glasses, and a headband and we all made our sleepy way to the beach. I, being the genius I am, forgot to put actual pants on and was still wearing very small shorts and while it wasn't freezing outside, pants would have been nice. So anyway, we stood around for a bit, mom took a picture of us- looking lovely, I'm sure- standing on the beach (proof that we actually got up) and we waited some more.

Fun right?

But then all of a sudden, we saw the very tip of the sun come over the horizon. My word it was pretty. It was bright red and the sky was all pink and blue and yellow and orange. Then, when the sun had completely risen, and we were about to walk away, we saw dolphins swimming out in the ocean. Perfect? I think so.

Was it crazy and unnecessary?
Yes.

Was it worth it?
20 times yes.
