Last night my roommate and I decided to have a girls night out. We were planning on just grabbing drinks - nothing too fancy, really. BUT she decided to surprise me with tickets to see The New York City Ballet's Nutcracker!! She wanted cheer me up because she knows that I've been down lately. I wasn't even planning on getting dressed up, but we went the full nine yards and got all glammed up and enjoyed the show. And let me tell you, the show was BEAUTIFUL. I was in tears and at the end of the show I turned around and gave my roommate the biggest hug. I'm so happy to have her as a friend. She's so supportive and I hope you all have a friend like her. That all said, I've decided to start taking ballet lessons. If anyone has any advice on where to start, let me know please! I'm hoping it will help me take my mind off things and also get my butt in shape!
