as i am crawling over to my computer, desperately hoping someone can help me, i'm considering how stupid and idiotic i am. i'm usually easy-going kinda, but i'm a perfectionist and tend to get VERY stubborn (in case you didn't guess, this comes with a story). well, my older sis (who only started dancing bc i did) ALWAYS gets complimented in dance while i'm the loser in the background who is NEVER complimented. well, i started to get mad bc i was the one who made my sis start dancing yrs ago, and if it wasn't for me, she wouldn't be there (in case you didn't guess, i was in a very bad mood). so then the next week, my older sis had to much homework to go to dance, and i saw my chance to stand out. so anyways, it was a jazz class, and the teacher wanted to do the dance on heels. well, okay........ but as i'm in the dance, i had to do a high kick, quick turn, fan kick straight into a double (in like 4 counts- in like my first time on heels in a year). so i come out a bit wobbly, but still determined to keep going. so i go through the next section of the dance, which is relatively easier and slower, until i have to roll onto the floor, do a scissor-kick turn, come up, and then slide ever so SLOWLY into a split with both hand in the air. no biggie, i have good splits........ but of course, as i'm sliding down, the heel of my shoe lets out from underneath me and i start sliding ever so QUICKLY into a split with my heels scraping the floor. so i'm in the split, i finish the dance, and get off the floor. the teacher says i did the dance exceptionally well, and i say thank you, but i feel a mssive pain on my legs (the muscle behind the upper leg on my right leg, and the "hip-flexer" on my other leg- the bone that rotates in a circle on your hip). but of course, i'm determined and stubborn, so i don't say anything about this new BURNING pain, and i continue to dance full-out. the next day (yesterday), i couldn't even sit still without wincing at the pain in my legs, and then my mom said maybe i should take the next dance class. but did i listen??? NO! my mom said i should tell the teacher. but did i listen?? NO!!!! so now the pain's a lot worse, cause i was sliding all over the floor and doing leaps and jumps all last night. the pain has spread to both knees and my other hip, but i'm still afraid to tell my teacher. i mean, the nutcracker's really soon, so i can't afford to miss a few rehearsals. any stretches or excersizes i can do to sooth my pain??? and yes, i've learned a lesson from all this, and i'll never be so conceited or stubborn again.
