My Fascinating Life
So, much of my time is being spent lately on chasing down people that I need stuff from for my various events, but particularly Hips of Fury, and putting out fires that erupt because belly dance is filled with estrogen and a hundred women can't always get along. Go figure.
But that being said, I couldn't ask for a better job, in spite of the fact that it wears me down emotionally from time to time. But then when I was working as a photographer, it was the emotional stress that broke me after 15 years. Maybe I should just become aloof.
But then, that's kinda what I get to be now that I have SO MANY students. I mean, my student population has exploded in the last several months, but now, I get to be choosy about whom I want to invest my emotional energy in. There is no possible way I can put out the way I have been for each of my students, because I have so many. It's just not reasonable. So in some way, even though I often feel mightily overwhelmed by how many I have now, I like that I can now kinda turn inward and shelter myself. It feels better. I get to do what's best for me from time to time now, and best of all, I am finally getting paid to be a teacher after almost six years of essentailly paying to be one. Yay!
Above all else, they really pick it up fast. I work 'em, and they get it! I am so proud. Last week, when they wer rehearsing for the Poppy Festival, I cried. Geez, I'm such a sap.
