Alice's Wonderland: A day in the life: 5/5/2013

Hey Guys,

So I was extremely prepared, I had taken many pictures and was going to do a huge blog post about Duke Of Edinburgh, and how to survive it, what you have to do, what to take with you. But it all went wrong. I hated it so much. The walks were all too long, I badly hurt my ankle and back, someone ended up in hospital, someone got driven home, and someone fainted. Not a good DofE weekend. I felt that I did not want to talk about it, as I detested it so much, so I thought I would just do an Day in the life blog post, as I haven't done a post in over a week, and I had nothing else planned to blog about.

So on Sunday I had a dance show, which I really enjoyed!

I woke up at the campsite (still at Duke Of Edinburgh) at 5:30, and since I was leaving early to do my dance show, I gave my best friend my breakfast as she had another day of walking still to go!I had a big bar of chocolate- however everyone else ate most of it! I packed up my tent and filled my bag with all my things, just in time for my dad to pick me up from the campsite. This was at around 8:30. I said goodbye to everyone, and drove the 2 hours back home, to a warm house with clean water after 3 days! I got home, washed, and got to tech just in time. I did the tech, and managed to slip right at the end and re-damage my ankle! The tech went okay, however it still needed improving! After that we had a small break and I sat on the field by the theatre with all of my mates from dancing, and my dance teachers in the sun. I tried so hard to get a tan! Then we went back inside and watched the acts of the second show (as we were in both shows) whilst laughing at most of them, due to the comments some of my friends were making! HAHA! I sound so mean! I then went home at about 3:00, ate and was back at the theatre by 5:00. We got into the dressing room, and sorted out our costumes. Our costume scheme was denim and leopard print, (apart from the boys who just wore denim) and makeup scheme was red lips and heavy eye liner. I thought we all looked amazing! We did the first show at 6:00 and it didn't go all that well. We think this was down to the fact the technical team played the wrong song to start with, and it shook us all up a bit. After a talk from our dance teacher, and a 'pray' as we like to call it, it was time for the second show! It was much better! I enjoyed it so much! My dance teacher even said she was impressed, and that I had improved a lot! I was quite proud of myself for once!

Well done to my whole dance troop, I love you all!
