Somersaulting Through History : Research conducted on the history of the Circus

Got it!

Well, I found what I really think I'm going to write about.  I finally told myself that I just had to pick something and go with it. Even if it was brutal, boring, and exceedingly uninteresting.  I figured I was do in on some ballet choreographer who revolutionized dance or something of the the like.  I was in the library collecting a stack of books that I knew would numb my brain, I saw one particular shelf that caught my eye.  It was purely dedicated to the circus arts.  True, it was not nearly as elaborate in content as that of ballet and modern dance, however I instantly felt like it could be more intriguing.  Abandoning the other books, I began to flip through my new found discovery, I quickly became engaged and a little bit excited.  I had always found the circus mystifying, secretly wondering if it could be an area I could succeed in.  Practicality and realism quickly diminished those hopes throughout the years, but when reading through certain passages of these books, a tiny bit of kindling was inflamed; once again I had become curious.

So, in short, I'm writing about the circus!

This is getting ridiculous

Wow. This has hit the point of just downright stupid, and I can't help but become frustrated with myself.  You see, I have a problem writing about things, even doing things, that I'm not intrigued entirely by.  It's a major character flaw.  I have the same problem when attempting to choreograph something.  I get bored, I hate what I've come up with, it's too repetive, not interesting enough... And what do I do? I get frustrated and in a moment I toss it all out. Gone. 
Yup. That's where I'm at right now.  Still struggling to find a topic and it's really stressing me out.

That was a bust

I find it rather quite frustrating that I can't seem to find any information on the topic I wanted to research.  It was my plan to write something along the lines of ballet training in Russia and the intensity of doing so.  Yeah...that didn't happen. All I ended up finding was ballet schools that were advertising.  No help.  I've thought about delving deeper into the progression of teaching styles, but once again, I need to be able to pick something very specific because there is far too much information to be able to make my paper concise.

Research??

Well..I don't even know where to begin.  I am supposed to write a research paper on a very specific topic from dance history.  Only problem is, it's history.  There's so much, and I can't seem to figure out what I want to do. Oi Vey.
