My 'bgirl' premier

---

We got 3rd!... and move on to the finals which are friday night.
I don't have the pictures yet to prove it, which is why I've been holding off on this entry, but they are soon to come, and thought an update might be nice since I'm sure you were all dying to know how it went. 😉
I took a video of it...quite hilarious, and quite honestly, I am shocked we did so well.
The 2 teams that beat us were professional dancers from Auckland and Tauranga. If by 'professional' you are thinking.....hmmm, probably spinning on theirs heads and doing single handed hops and flips, well then.... you would be correct.
And if I may state the obvious, I am not a professional. hah
It was quite an interesting Hamilton outing, actually. We waited for 4 hours to perform for 3 minutes. Thankfully, free food and drinks were provided for the contestants during this time... (if you consider french fries, fried potato and fried fish rings to be food, and smirnoff ice to be a pleasant 'drink'). Upon getting 3rd, we won 100 dollars ---towards more 'food' and 'drinks'. Let me sum up by saying... I handed out my $50 winnings to my friends and headed back to the bar to get a real drink.
After the show, I ended up joining a Mauri (the name of the native peoples from NZ) dancing crew for the rest of the night, which made me feel quite out of place... it was great.

We return to compete against 8 other teams in the final (the best from 2 weeks of competition)
What am I hoping for you ask?
... no more money for smirnoff ice, and to not fall on my face.
oh, yea,
and my studies are going great. heh

Moonlit night
The moon was huge. These pictures are taken just outside the door from my flat.

Looking East
This is the same view, just during daylight, which is from my bedroom window. (All 3 are taken looking over what you'd call the backyard)
