Pointe Just Killed My Feet

Thursdays are pointe day's but last class we only took barre en pointe. Today, we took the entire class in our pointe shoes. All two hours of it. Standing on my toes.

I'm not sure how I survived and I am not looking forward to long Nutcracker rehearsals in those dumb shoes. I did however find out that Jacquie picked my to be the solo angel because I berea so nicely. Wow. That made me feel really good. It also makes me feel slightly pressured to do better than ever. Okay, it makes me feel a lot more pressured.

As for the current state of my feet, the section of my foot right above my toes, is bruised on my right foot, so when I walk it feels like I have a broken foot. My toes are still bright pink and it's been a few hours. I also spent some quality time with the ice packet. There was only minimal relief.
