point of last summer

sorry every one for not bloging for such a long time! i have just been so busy with dance and all. so i never told you guys that i got on point. actually, i got on point last summer. but i never bloged about it. point is something where you go up on your toes and dance on them. it hurts really really really bad! if you have seen me in the past summer, you might have seen my poor toe. it is brused and black all over. it looks very unapatizing. only i hope you'll haven't been planning on eating my toe! well, my toe turns colors every now and then. but it doesn't really hurt any more. it hurt sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad when it happened. but not any more. point shoes look really prety! they are pink satin. they have pink satin ribbons on them so that you can cross them and make a very prety design! i started point out this summer on what they called "pre-point." but my teacher got feed up so we just went on to regular beginner point. i have gotten so used to going up on point now that it doesn't hurt that bad any more. i have dance lessons 4 hours a week now that i am older and better. point of last summer was very hard for me because i wasn't really ready for it yet. God hadn't really taught me EVERY thing about point and what i would have to be looking forward to. i am kind of glad that he didn't because i DO want to make it a surprise. But i did want him to so that we knew what we had to do to get ready for it. and we would not be so heart-broken when we found out how much money we would have to start paying for both lessons and for the point shoes. (and i can't tell you how much money that was.) i had to buy two pairs of point shoes at the time. and ONE pair of shoes is like around $49.68. so just imagin paying almost $100.00 JUST for the shoes. and $183.00 for JUST the classes. so i will leave that math for you because i don't even want to think about the answer to that math problem. (i already did the problem, and trust me, your mouth WILL drop when you figure it out!) so the answer to that math problem is what we have to pay about every month. aren't you glad you don't dance point? although, it is the funnest thing you could ever do in your life as a kid my age! so that is what has been going on with me and my point classes of last summer. and what we had to pay!!! :p
