whirlwind

this is the 4th attempt at this post. my computer froze up on me saturday night. i'm using sarah's old laptop she graciously gave us a few months back. it sounds sickly and grunts a lot, but it's alive and connects to the internet....which is more than i can say for the desktop. (come fix it klein. :)

update on bodystep. i learned it. the whole hour. i don't really know how. i was at the gym 2 hours a day for 5 days....i guess that had something to do with it. it was strange how it all clicked and i just "got it". i was hoping that would happen. we had a group practice (there are 4 of us newbies) in front of the director and 2 other instructors...the main feedback was about form and technique. what a relief to have the chorey pretty well mastered. now to get my mouth to open while my feet are moving.

i have my audition today at 4:30. i'll be teaching 3 tracks to an actual class. so it's my first time to be infront of people, first time to not have a mirror to look in, first time with a mic on my face, and the director will be watching. intently. from the back. why am i not practicing right now?! i'm not worried about not being hired, i feel pretty good about how far i've come since the training....it's just first impressions.

my goals for today:
nail the choreography
get words out of my mouth
(preferably with good timing and little stuttering)
((no corny jokes, either. or bad words.))

i have t-minus 5 hours to practice, shower, go view a duplex, pick up a child from school, get to the gym, practice again, perform.

What a cool opportunity! I'm glad you decided to do it! And i know you will do great!

Ugh. And I completely understand your frustration with that computer. Not such a cool thing... I hope your desktop gets fixed soon :)

Oh and I have been so far behind with keeping up with my google reader/all my blogs.
