QUICK UPDATE!

I got my X-ray results back. Yep they think I have fractured the small bone in my wrist; that I still do not know how to spell. Though the doctors know this now, I still have to wait until next Thursday to get an appointment with the fracture clinic to see if they want to put my wrist in a pot or not. Not that it matters now anyway.. I have been without one for nearly 6 bloooodey weeks! MAN. I have been trying to dance on a fractured wrist... I actually want my Dad to sue.. but we are too much of a nice family haha. 

I have officially pulled out of my Uni's end of year show; Overture. There is not even one word I could say to sum up how gutted I am. I haven't cried yet though? Maybe it hasn't hit me yet.. just like when I got advised to take a year out. Just no emotion at the moment. 

WELL on the bright side, I have come home back to Woking to live with my parents as it is half term wooo. & tonight is my best friends birthday night out in Southampton.. and it is 'shit t-shirt night' whatever the hell that means hahaha. I am not completely sure if it means where an 'over the top pattered shirt' (which I actually have many as I actually wear those 'shit' shirts haha) or if it means wear a shirt that 'you don't mind getting shit thrown at shirt'..(not meaning poo.. meaning paint.. maybe?) oops.. we will find out!

Going to start getting ready now... 3 HOURS IN ADVANCE. Girls need this long, it is essential.

'Choose A Different Career OR Take A Year Out?'

It's now Friday, and I went to see my physio on Wednesday. He was so lovely and understood about everything I'm going through; he gave me advice as well and actually made me feel positive about things that usually would make me cry HAHA! He took a look at my wrist and examined it and then told me that he actually thinks I have fractured a small bone called... scchol..asndia (I DONT KNOW HOW TO SPELL IT.. or pronounce it) and that he thinks that the last doctors might have missed something on my last X-ray. YEP GREAT. Next, he advised me to defer ALL of my assessments as it isn't fair that I get marked on what 'my body can do' which is nothing atm. 'zero marks for Christina Hobbins' 

Now for the bit that keeps getting me confused. I don't know whether to laugh, cry or just get the bloody well on with it. 'Your condition means you have hyper-mobility + pain... you can't go into the industry with your wrist hurting then 3 months down the line it's your shoulder, then your ankles then your hips and so forth... you might need to think about a different career choice or taking a year out of uni to really improve your strength and management of your hyper-mobility.' 

Thinking back to it, I didn't even react I just nodded and agreed and even now, writing this I'm not sure I even feel anything.. no emotion.. nothing. Maybe it is because I know I will NEVER not dance and choose a different job. But on the other hand, taking a year out and being a year behind all my friends? Well if it means in that year I can get strong as f*ck and then become an much better improved dancer than YES! I pick that option please. Hmmmm.. I still need a good think. I have an appointment with the doctor in two weeks, the one I went privately with, to hear about my blood test results. I think I will just have to wait to hear what he suggests before organising my 'TINA'S TAKE A YEAR OUT PARTY'.. lol joke.

Right I'm going to go and treat myself to some Oreo's and milk ♥

Yesterday, Day Off & Water Challenge

3 days in a row wasn't too bad! I didnt have time to write a blog yesterday, i want to do one everyday but because I do go to uni till late its going to be hard. I might write two today.. maybe another one about something random? maybs. anyway yesterday... i wasnt in a great state, why is it when you ring your mum when your feeling down you just cant stop crying?! haha.. it was my first ballet class back in a week and it didnt do my wrist any good what-so-ever. having people knocking your hand while doing barre work wasnt too pleasant. (i know they weren't meaning to) I sat out the rest of my classes, and then got home and ate probably my whole fridge. and then i felt sh*t and bloated so i went to bed in the clothes I went to uni in.. gross i know but i get stuck in this rut where when im in a lot of pain, I become lazy and literally wanting to give up. but then I get motivated again hahaha... i swear i have two different personalities.  

Today has been the same really. I didn't even do ballet today:( I had to get my housemate to do the gears for me in my car as I can't do that either.. oh the joy! BUUTTT I have a physio appointment tomorrow, so hopefully he will tell me what I can and can't do; in regards to assessments as well. I have had to defer my contemporary assessment which was supposed to be tomorrow; there is a lot of floor work so there would be no way I could do that. Keeping positive for the appointment tomorrow though, I will let you know what he says!

& YEP WE DID IT! We uploaded it onto Youtube hahaha! It is quite cringe but we had such a funny time doing it. EVERYONE must try this! I will put the link below to the video, have a watch! :)

The Strand/Covent Garden, Wrist & Youtube

I defo lied when I said I was going to Leicester Square last night for a meal, which YES i did spell it wrong HAHAHA. It's Zizzi's!!! We got of at the tube, Charing Cross and went to the Zizzi's down the Strand. OMG the best pizza i have had evvveeeerrrr. It was called Sofia and it was massive haha! I will post a picture below. So big that i didn't get a pudding after! wait what? yep thats right no pudding (I LOVE FOOD, so that is weird for me like REALLY weird) Then we went to this amazing bar/diner in Covent Garden called the Roadhouse; you can sit and eat until a certain time then all the chairs get taken away and making the whole bar into a massive dance floor. & as im a dancer that is like HEAVEN to me hehe! We got there just in time for Happy Hour, so the group of us got two cocktails for 11.00 instead on 16.00 which is okay.. still expensive I think, but I'm a student so I would say that. I ordered a Raspberlious and Screaming Orgasm, which came with whipped cream on top (so I guess i got my pudding in the end tehe) great night would advise EVERYONE to go but the only thing is, because we went at happy hour when it came to the time that we peaked... well it was 9.30pm. so we all got on the tube tired and ready for our beds at 9.45pm on a saturday night in london LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.


I forgot to mention that the 'body part' that was making me sit out of my dance classes on Friday was my wrist. Its been playing up for a good 3 weeks now.. It swells up in the morning and I have limited movement but then it gets better during the day. Still swollen this morning (will post some pictures soon so you can see!) but there is not much pain which is good YAY. Im just praying that it is at least 50% better by mid next week as I have all my dance uni assessments :( DREAD. & I do not want to defer anymore assessments. so FINGERS CROSSED.

As I have the whole day and no plans me and my house mate DANiella (i have a thing for putting people nicknames in capitals) are thinking about videoing the laughing challenge. why not?! It's where one person has water in their mouth and the other needs to try and make them laugh. I KNOW i can make dan laugh in a second hahaha. IM GOING TO WIN mwahaha:) I think we are going to put it on facebook so all our family and friends can see but might be extravagant (< is that the right word) and upload it on to youtube... why not?!

THATS ANOTHER THING... why cant we have emojis to put on blogs? would make everything much better (EMOJI - big smiling face)
That's it for today, and i will let you know in my next post if we ended up putting it on youtube (monkey covering eyes)

Fingers, Today & Tonight!

Just a quick one today.. so I have just woken up. My body feels okay today except my fingers are abit swollen (this is what happens on a daily basis haha) but im going to go and ice them when i go and have my breakfast, so hopefully the swelling will go down!:)

I am going to Leicester square tonight for a meal at ZiZis < is that how you spell it? god knows haha. & then going to Covent Garden for a few cocktails for one of my good friends 20th birthdays! so that should be nice. I will post some pictures and gossip about it tomorrow woo! 

Well, Im off now. Got so much to do before tonight: I have to do all my jobs in my diary so Im all organised for next week, try and finish my pilates assessment that is due in next week, repaint my nails, do a food shop, a workout (maybe) and then get ready (which will take like 2 hours AHHH) what girls have to do ay?!

Also, just found this quote ^. Thought it was perfect for anybody that is worrying about something! It made me smile, so I thought I would share it with you:)

Have a good day!

Hi, Me & Why?

Hi! So, this is my first ever blog... EVER! Before I start doing this regularly I just want to say that I'm not a writer at all, im not good at it at all haha.. never have been really!:P But why should it be only good writers that write anyway?! So im just going to go for it and write how I would talk (probs bad grammar, slang etc) soz in advance!:)

Right, I should tell you some stuff about me. My name is Christina, but most people call me Tina. Why is my blog url called minaninatina.. I dont know, it rhymed? haha! i am 19 and a dancer. I have been dancing since i was 6 years old and I'm currently in my 2nd year training at London Studio Centre. I love my family and friends like CRAAAZZZZYY. I pretty much am obsessed (not weirdly obsessed though lol) with anything to do with: disney, beauty, hair, health, fitness, food, fashion, harry potter, planners & stationary, harry potter, summer, christmas, easter etc... you get my drift. OHHH, and beyonce! duh♥

So why have I randomly wanted to start writing a blog? Well I am currently writing this while sitting out of my ballet class (the teacher thinks I'm taking notes on the class, oops) I have recently been diagnosed with a condition called 'super hyper-mobility syndrome' by the NHS doctors. I have had problems with my joints and muscles for the best part of 3 years now. It SUCKS. Me and my mum weren't completely happy with my diagnosis, so yesterday we went to have a private consultation (on my health insurance plan) I had 4 blood tests.. not really too sure what all of them were for. But from talking to a lot of people about my pain over these 3 years, nearly everyone think that it could be rheumatoid arthritis. But I will find out soon!

I want to write about my process of recovering and getting stronger so I can start dancing everyday again! I would love people to be interested in my blog and the things I do and like, and even find people that have had these symptoms before or know what I should do? Non-dancer or dancer. I also feel that there isn't much support out there for injured dancers. (doctor wise) My aim is to change that!:) WOW, done. I promise not all my blogs will be this depressing, I will do random ones about other things I am interested in! I think this blog will keep me positive and keep my mind off things when I'm down about sitting out of dance again:( Sorry for the long winded first post lol:)
