I now have a sword! It's soooo pretty and HEAVY! Wow. I finally arrived on Monday but I haven't had a chance to play with it. Between work, class, and practice, I've been sooooo busy and soooo tired but Jessie (troupe member) and I are meeting early for practice tomorrow and we are going to mess around with our swords. Maybe we will come up with a new duet...should be interesting. I'm really excited. Can't wait.
