I know I am guilty of enrolling in four seminar days when I know three is Stella's productive limit or trying a sequence again and again and again and again that includes 12 poles so I can get a move that is eluding me when I know fourth or fifth time through Stella is thinking you know I am not a border collie and I can only do 12 with joy ( Read more... )

what you don't know can't... or slouching toward internationalization

dinahprincedaly Mar 07, 2013 08:31

i guess i am not experienced enough (newbies still after what is it 4 years?) to be worried about the inevitable coming of internationalized courses... really I don't believe there is a monster under the bed or maybe i am worrying a little about the scary internationalized placement of the obstacle or obstacles RIGHT AFTER the DW... because thats ( Read more... )
