My Gravy Weekend

Friday
11AM-3PM: Last Practice
This included the usual. Pulling up to the Jane and Sheppard driveway with an awesome front lawn centerpiece that instantly welcomes anybody into the house. The house rented out by a superior entourage for the last 5 months. Starting off the morning right with some Goblet of Fire, the dances that have been drilled into our brains, and plates of chow mein of course. I got so lost in all of the routine fun that I forgot about my other plans. It's been awesome and I'm gonna miss all of the quirky comments and snickers that come with the peer editing of cotillion practices.
3:45PM-9PM: Eating, Praying, and Loving April
A whole time slot dedicated to my sweetest girl. The west side traveling was peace for 15 mins. Seeing a good ol' pal was just delightful, especially cause I haven't seen my dear since graduation! The movie made me happy with the pieces that make up the puzzle of my life. I'm thankful for my flesh, passions, and comfort. I hate how movies usually mold me sometimes, but I was kinda fine with it this time. Goodwill made me feel a little richer and excited for uniform freedom. A day with April brought back my groove, eve if it was just for a few hours.
9PM-11PM: Cross-City Travel
With a book in hand, I didn't at all mind the journey. Yorkdale Station to Downsview Station. 85 Downsview Bus to Sheppard Station. Sheppard Station to Don Mills Station. 190 Rocket to Scarbrough Town Centre. A friend to join me along for the next ride. Scarbrough Town Centre to some steezey residence KINDA close to Neilson and Finch.
11PM-1:30AM: John Wolfe's Lair
Greeted by intoxicated strangers and just a few pals was a treat. Although I had a hard time figuring out how to socialize (as always) the hectic scene was enjoyable to witness. I was hoping to dance though. The drunkard rapping Miss Me at the top of his lungs on the kitchen counter was the whipped cream on top of a good night. (I don't like those red cherries on my ice cream.)
1:30AM-2:30AM: Journey Home
It just took me time to get back. Comfort texts were comforting. Book in hand was still my book in hand. Loyal father waiting up for me. And crashing was like dying peacefully.

Saturday
9AM-3PM: Morning Routine Rush and Welcoming Lunch
I finally got my fettuccine alfredo with shrimp. And got to drink the wine that I legally bought from Montreal with my pa. Oh, and being a good fam, we welcomed another. And then I had to figure out what I was gonna be bringing to Vaughn, the card, my accessories, put on make up, shower for once.
3PM-6PM: Hoe Teel Cross
Hotels are one of my favourite places for leisurely roaming and somehow it was a setting to help relax me.
6PM-1PM: 5 MONTHS WORTH OF LIFE
I was not as relaxed as I thought. Screwed up a few times I do believe. Footwork fails and all. But it was a BEYOND extraordinary experience! I'm always proud of the final product of anything, but this one was...siiiigh. I'm so happy to have been apart of it all. I do not at all regret the mass amount of time put into this baby. Practice was more than just dancing. I made new friends. :) And became a better friend. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER!!! My feet now only crave dancing.

Sunday
12:30PM-1:30PM: Church
I woke up Sunday morning, thinking that Saturday night was an amazing dream. Or perhaps my head replayed all of Saturday because it was just so amazing! Anyways, I always find my balance within this rollercoaster life, by going to church. It is another one of those places where thoughts can be fed to me through lectures, people watching can be fun, and reflection is the only option. I don't mind it so much anymore.
1:30PM-2PM: Garden Bonding
And as my mom took her time getting off holy grounds, my good ol' pops and I explored the holy grounds. The garden outside our church is very untamed and on that very day it was very wet. But my dad and I have always been up for slow paces through nature.
2PM-6PM: Despicable Me! w/ El Paka
Bonding over Disney is always fun.
