"A Problem Page For All!"

I wasn't there when Colleen got hurt; it was after I had dropped out of classes. That June, though, I got up on stage to present the Kenworthy award to the next recipient (I having received it the year before) and Coleen, who got it, was on crutches. I heard that she did a funny kind of leap and fell badly on her knee. She was going to have surgery, even though Rachel urged her to try everything else (surgery should be a last resort, an extreme!). That was nearly two years ago. I hope she got better!

To have a pulled hamstring? Um, it doesn't feel good. You feel it when you bend down, go up stairs, or do an attitude (did you ever do those? It's a ballet term, I believe: crooking your leg in front of you, knee bent, toe pointed -- but of course, the toe is pointed!). It's basically better now, though, and that makes me wonder if it was only a very slight pull or something, to have healed in a matter of days. It actually felt much better on Saturday night; I wonder if I just needed to work it.

I think Nia resents my dancing abilities, my status at the Dance Collective, and how I'm being treated as an adult v. the kid dancers, rather than just another dancer. I resent that a bit, too, even as it swells my head. I don't want a swollen head! I want to be just another memeber of the cast!
