timing sucks., can anyone relate? Options

[*stephinika*]

yeah. timing is a bitch i've decided. let me tell you my little story.

at my dance class last week, my teacher pulled me and one other girl aside to talk to us and she handed us this letter and told us to read it and respond asap. apparently one of the teachers from my dance studio who taught the (for the lack of a better term) "higher up" classes is the choreographer for this big show being put on in vancouver later in april (april 23 to be exact) this year for the 2010 olympics. the letter was an invite for us to be a part of the 100 or so dancers in it. this was a huge event and it's apparently going to be televised across canada...she actually picked us to be a part of it, and that was an honour in itself.
the only requirement if asked? to be able to attend all of 2 rehearsals and the day of the run-through and show...my parents even said yes when i asked them. the problem? the day of the run-through/show i have a dance competition within the time frame i would be needed...and therefore i can't do it.
how frustrating! grr...
so has anyone else had experiences with crappy timing?







btw...7000th post.

heh i feel ya, kristen. cause it happened to me. it was the baddest timing ever...well it doesnt sound so important, but to me it is because i havent seen them or hangout with them in a such long time... like one time when we had to meet in saturday... i forgot that i had to meet my other friends from other places... so my korean gangsta friends and i supposed to meet at 4:30pm...and my fobby korean friends and i supposed to meet at 4:35pm...and since they dont want to combine groups as gangstas and fobbies... so yeah i had to cancel my gangsta friends... i havent seen them for a very long time...maybe 5 years? and my fobby friends are like 3 years that i havent seen them and they were coming from LA T___T;;; they were on their road trip hehe to alaska and they stopped by. the gangsta friends live in oregon and idaho so yeah heh... i had to go with the fobs because they asked me first... i had no choice. T___T;; so if im rich someday, i can go see my gangsta friends...if not never being rich, then i have to wait until 2 years again heh.
