Life:  I started work/training at the National Ballet last week.  Got the interview opportunity thanks to kesteral and I prepped like MAD for that interview.  I'm glad I did since I still managed to get caught off guard by a couple of questions.  I'm really glad to be employed again, and everyone I've met so far is super awesome.  I've only been in the ( Read more... )

Pre-script edit: I really hate LJ right now. The edit keeps F-ing with my LJ cut and formatting in a way that screws everything up even when I edit in HTML. I apologize an assload if one of my edits takes out my LJ cut and this massive post floods my F-list somehow. DX
