Today I was scheduled for jury duty. Looked at it as a possible day off from school, which was so needed at this time. Between report cards and conferences, it's been a tough month and still 3 weeks until spring break. So I knew at some point I would need a mental health day. Well, today was it!
I was on phone stand by till 11am, and then when I called in then, I was excused. Do you think I got much done? Nope. Other than a couple loads of laundry, I watched shows that have been taped on my DVR for so long because I rarely get to watch them uninterrupted. I cleared some out today, ate, relaxed, ate, and did little else. I did take Cassie to school today which was a treat because I rarely get to do that. The storm was so bad that it was nice to just stay inside and listen but not have to deal with the students and work. Franklin came home early, we spent some time together, and then I practiced a couple of new "old" tracks for class tonight.
Since I am now official, I can use back releases to mix up my classes. I've been practicing several tracks and put them in tonight. I was ready and excited. These tracks were some of my favorites from when I was a participant. The class went well. Fewer people than usual, about 27, but the weather was bad so I'm hoping that's why. Several regulars were not there. A treat - My niece Amanda is here from Reno and she came to class Tuesday and tonight, which was fun because the last time she saw me teach was the week that I had my audition at 24Hour and I used her as my guinea pig to practice on. Needless to say, she agreed I was MUCH better than before ;-)
Of course, nothing goes completely smoothly in my world of trying out new things.....but this one cracked me up. I replaced most of the tracks with different ones, except shoulders, lunges and abs, and we get to the cool down and I was shocked to hear Beyonce's If I Were a Boy instead of P!nk's Sober that I had learned! So, being the teacher that I am, I pulled the chorey out of my a-- and somehow made the P!nk chorey fit the Beyonce song......and Jeanett told me after class that it was the best cool down! Hahaha. go figure. At least no one could tell. I'm getting better at going with the flow.....
Sunday I hope to spend some time after my class working with Deb and Michelle on new BP77 chorey. They both passed the initial training module and need to practice, plus I need to learn the release since I am launching it in 2 weeks! So we can help each other. So exciting to help give back to new instructors. It's strange how I feel like I can help them when I am still new myself, yet I feel like I can be a mentor to them. It's a strange sensation.
But now I am beat. One more day of work and hopefully some breaks in the weather. I am ready for Spring. And Summer.
