15hrs a week at work, a course with a correspondence college, grade 6 piano, managing household because parents do insanely long hours at work, public speaking courses, TAFE courses, a relationship, reading & sleeping (last two committments = most important.)
I moved out of home last year to live with my boyfriend. It was pretty hard to manage everything at first, and everyone was thinking i was gonna drop out and become nothing! but once i realised that unless i work hard at school and achieve something, i'll be living off my centrlink payments forever, I KNOW how hard that is!!!!

I danced all through my HSC year. I was even competing *nods*

However it was quite a considerable decrease from the intensity and hours in previous years... I wanted to have a pace where I knew I'd be able to focus on my school work. At the same time, I knew that if I gave up dance, I'd go insane and my marks would get even worse (this actually happened to a number of dance friends of mine who gave up dance during their HSC year, they totally regretted it).

I made a couple of firm decisions at the beginning of the year (no solo competition, no more than a few nights of dancing a week) and stuck to it. :)

Cool, a musician.
Internet was made especially for that. Other uses came later.
