I Can't Let This Upset Me

I had a great New Year's Eve. I met a lot of amazing people and danced my little heart out. The day after I got home, I checked my email, and what I thought was a good experience, turned into a bad one. Apparently I was disrespectful to the people I was with. I wasn't trying to be mean, I was just trying to have fun. My first mistake was thinking that this was a trip with friends. I was recently told that this was a school field trip. I guess I was confused because the professors were letting the underage students drink. Something a friend would do but a teacher shouldn't. So how was I supposed to know that this was a school trip? Anyway, the teachers paid for the hotel room. So we had not 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6, but 7 people sleeping in one room. And because we didn't front the money, we had rules to follow. What were the rules for this group of adults you ask? It's simple. Use the buddy system. Which works all fine and dandy until everyone wants to do something different. And I don't mean she wanted to swim in the pool, and I wanted to go downtown and whore myself out. She wanted to sleep at 2:00 on New Year's day and I wanted to stay downstairs, in the same building, and dance until the party was over at 4:00. Well excuse the hell out of me for wanting to get what I paid for. I paid for a weekend event pass to dance, not sleep on the effin floor because of the lack of beds. So I asked permission, yes, my 21 year old self asked if I could stay up past 2:00 and dance. And I was told that the "ball was in my court." Great then..... I'll see you in the morning, I'm going to go dance. Well, because I was the only one who danced, I was breaking the rule and now I am in trouble. The consequence of my action, being kicked off the dance team. I am not fully understanding how one can be kicked off of a dance team for wanting to dance. But obviously it can be done. Since my most recent discussion with my instructors, I have been trying to think of ways in which I could have possibly been wrong, and I am yet to think of any good reason. Now I need to make the decision to be the better person and apologize for something I'm not sure I did, or if I should play my cards and win. Because I know that if I battle this to the end, I will win. I just have better cards to play, end of story. Normally, I wouldn't even think twice about it, and go in ready to fight. But I really like dancing and the people against me are my best connection to the dancing world. I can only pray that things will work themselves out. Until then.... I'm will to take any advice you have to offer.

And one really bad thing about Wisconsin, the liquor stores close at 9:00 p.m. Yes, no liquor or beer or anything unless you go to a bar. Dumb law.
