Mark made it through to the semi-finals. The judges loved our Cha Cha! They said it was Mark's best dance of the summer! It was the first time in a long time that I really had fun. I'm so excited that I get one more week in the competition!

My song went off without a hitch. I made Aunt Lu sit in the front row with a copy of the lyrics so that she could lip them to me in case I forgot the lyrics. Luckily it didn't come to that, but it was stressful. It's not easy to learn a song you don't know in one day - especially when it hits so close to home. It was good for me though. Last night was a new start.

I've got to head over to the dance studio in a little while. I have to work out the choreography for our Samba and Quickstep. Two dances equals double the stress! I'm hoping it's not too bad!
