Danseur Ignoble: How Will I Survive??!!!!111oneoneoneoone
(Okay, yes, I’m making fun of my own internal histrionics, but seriously.)
Today I discovered that (perhaps unsurprisingly, given that The Mother Ship — AKA IU Bloomington, AKA IU Prime — has an excellent ballet program) we not only have access to an extensive library of books about ballet, but that most of them are available online, for free … as long as you’re an IU student.
Needless to say, I wish I’d thought to look earlier. Because, seriously. SO MANY BOOKS. SO LITTLE TIME. Where do I even begin?
I will be the first to admit that I’m both completely stoked about graduating and also kind of, like, “Yeah, but, seriously … not be a student for, like, a year and a half? HOW???? HOW WILL I LIVE WITHOUT ACCESS TO ENDLESS SUPPLIES OF PEER-REVIEWED DATA AND FREE SOFTWARE AND ZILLIONS OF BALLET BOOKS AT MY FINGERTIPS?!”
And now this.
You guys, I just don’t think I’m gonna make it.
Go on without me.
I’ll be fine.

Fact is honey – you won’t live without that. You will have a protracted and elegant death, no doubt surrounded by gorgeous people. I think I’ll send you an antique lace handkerchief and a silver topped cane, with your choice of sword blade or booze flask inside it. You’ll cough delicately and be ever so brave … *wipes away single tear*
This may well be the greatest comment in the history of comments! *swoons*
\o/
*hands you a crystal flacon of smelling salts and weeps piteously into a lachrymatory*
… mostly as an excuse to use those two slightly obscure words in a pompous fashion.
Jeez, I’d have thought a fellow student or teacher would let you use their password during the interim.
If not, you’d better get to downloading as much as you can before you lose access.
You know, that’s a good point. I mean, I will probably survive without, but I should keep that in mind so I can gather literature for research stuff in the interim.
