Well, WAS having a dilemma, but I think I've made my a decision now.
So what happened was a last week I got an email from the head therapist of McGill's Track and Field Team which made me think about my coming term at school. There is so much that I want to do with my dancing starting September, getting more involved with MSSD, taking extra dance classes on Sundays, hustling, taking my usual dance classes at Studio MP and staying with my dance crew. On top of that I have school and I'm going to be a volunteer student therapist for the track and field team... I wish I could say that I have the time to do everything, but I don't and this is going to sound bad, but I am not willing to sacrifice my dancing for my grades just yet...
However, I have been talking to some friends about what I should do and doing some thinking myself. I also managed to talk to a guest dance teacher from Broadway Dance Center who is giving classes at my studio in HK right now and she gave me that extra confidence in making my choice. She told me this, "If you're not planning to become a ballerina then you've got a long ways ahead of you. I went to collage too and you just gotta do your thing, definitely finish undergrad, but keep dancing and don't let it stress you out too much."
After all this thinking and debating on what to do, my decision is really to play it by ear and make choices as I go because there are just too many things that are uncertain right now. Will I still be able to do a master's in physiotherapy? Can I balance my time with all the things related to dance that I want to do and with school?
Another question that was brought up during my discussions with friends is that do I want to commit to things that I don't really want to do just for the sake of making my resume look 'nicer'?
I don't know if this is the right way I'm going, but I want to make the best of my time while I'm still in school, do what I want to do now before it's too late and enjoy myself. So I'm planning to give everything a one month trial and if I really start to struggle, I may cut back on the physio thing (because really, I'm only doing it for my resume) and maybe take a few less dance classes, hopefully that'll be enough... If you were me, what would you do?
