The number one reason why I don’t want to go back to school is because of commitment issues. 
Not my commitment issues, but everyone else’s.  

I, once upon a time, had a really wonderful idea for a fun piece that I actually finished choreographing for March. It involved a large number of people, and it would have been to a really fun song, and would have just been a really good way to lighten up the mood of my school and basically give me something of my own to work on and look forward to this semester.

I asked a total of 21 people to do this piece in September, expecting that 5 would say no, and I would have 16 people to work with. I sent many many emails begging everyone to let me know their availability, tell me their schedules, and basically keep me in the loop about what their plans were for this upcoming semester. Everyone was on board. 

In December, I got droves of emails and text messages from people, saying that they were “ever so sorry but they just were doing too much,” or that they “didn’t realize it was happening in March,” or “they just have so much going on,” or (my personal favorite) that “they would be out of town on the weekend of the showing.” The latest email I got was today. I’m left with 10 dancers out of the 21 that I originally had. 

Needless to say my entire concept is unworkable. 

I have so many other piece ideas but I just have no motivation or energy to work with anyone anymore. I’m over it. 

I’m not even at school yet and I’m already over it. I’m just exhausted from trying to put effort into a situation that no one wants, so I’m pulling it. 

Clearly this semester will just be about me going to class and sleeping. That’s not such a bad thing. At least I know I’ll get all As.
