Day 242 - Back to College

Today was my first full day back at college. That meant 1hr 15mins open ballet, 2hrs DDI (teaching lesson) and 1hr 45mins advanced 1 ballet. It goes without saying that I am exhausted but pleasantly so.

On my way to work for a quick 3 hours just to round off the day and then possible party planning for tomorrow.

I am quite excited that the last bits for my bike arrived today so no more buses once it's assembled and working again :)

Day 240 - Timetable

Timetable done for the next 10 weeks. Anything blank is earmarked for study and written work. Gonna be a busy term! But so much dancing :)

Day 237 - College etc.

Just a quick word about college today as I'm shattered.  Thursday is a long day with college and then work in the evening (and voting as an extra today) and I'm now ready for bed.  A very physically and mentally exhausting day.  Music was the underlying theme for my DDI class today, looking at how to communicate to examiner and pianist the rhythm, tempo and style of the desired piece of music for a particular exercise.  I think of my self as a musical person but this seems to he a hurdle for me.  I plan to make note of how I do this while teaching tomorrow and see if I can develop it further.  I'm wondering if it's being put on the spot that stumps me?!  

After DDI I had an Advanced 1 Ballet class.  I'm still not completely up to doing everything in class because of my knee, particularly jumps, but I think small improvements are being made.  I haven't put my pointe shoes on since the re-injury but today I made plans with some fellow students to do some extra pointe work after half term which is next week.  

Anyway, night all :)
