Wednesday, and Thursday so far

[stuberyl]

Had two newbies in class yesterday: new to my class and new to bellydance. I hope I left a positive enough impression that they'll return next week. (I remembered to tell only one of them that the second class is free; the first one left too quickly.) Queen B thinks the class went well, so that's something. I'm really glad she was there because she was able to offer more coherent explanations of some of the movements than I was. I realized I tend to describe things in metaphors (like 'the first half of the movement is like driving over an overpass and the second half is going around a racetrack') whereas she uses more straightforward and more geometric terms (like 'the first half of the movement is a hip circle on the vertical plane, then the second half is a circle on the horizontal plane').

This morning, I went to LabCorp and gave them, oh, about six vials of blood for testing. Then I emailed the testing consent form to my marrow donation program contact person. And now it's back to waiting. Here's hoping I don't have any nasty blood-borne diseases.
