Things That Make Me Sad

(In no particular order...)
1. Loosing toenails
2. Having too many bobby pins
3. The 8 year olds in Russia who get to do the Black Swan Pas de Deux (see attached video at bottom of post)
4. Missing dance because of weather conditions
5. BLISTERS!!!
6. The 7 year olds in Russia who's fouettes are better than mine (see attached video)
7. Ordering pointe shoes online because the only dance store in the city doesn't have them and then a huge snowstorm hits the city and you're scared that they wont be there in time for your PNB audition (.......AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!)
8. The look on the pedicurists face
9. When Odette and Sigfreid die in Swan Lake
10. Crying during the pas de deux in the Kingdom of the Shades with Nikiya and Solar
11. The Victoria's Secret models who think that they have good ballet arms *facepalm*
12. No one understanding the strong attachment to your first pair of pointe shoes
13. Your friends thinking you're crazy for skipping hanging out with them and going to ballet class instead
14. When your brand new tights get holes in them
15. Your parents not understanding your need for new pointe shoes every 4-5 weeks
16. Going to Contemporary Class and making everything too balletic
17. Not getting the part
18. Rejection letters
20. Doing your best turn when no ones watching
21. Not having a life
22. Thinking you did a really good job on the performance, watching it on tape, realizing how bad it looked
23. Walking like a duck with your feet turned out
24. The chugs in Giselle which messed up my knee
25. Cold dance studios
26. When a show ends and you realize that that was the last time you would do that piece
27. People who think that they're really good at ballet....but really aren't
28. When your parents tell you to go get a life because you spend too much time doing/watching/thinking about ballet
29. Realizing your toenails are too long at the beginning of pointe class
30. Never living up to your own expectations
