1st night at Circus arts institute

Nov 07, 2007 22:57

So I went to Carrie Heller's place tonight for her Circus arts class. I was getting sick and traffic was crazy tonight, but i got there.
It was good to go regardless of fighting the tide of atlanta commuters.
She made me commit to a session. I think I can keep up my workout and learn good things from her there.
there were a bunch of floppy adults there, people new to it.
I was struck by how fumbly and floppy and weak they were. I hate to say it.
I can't believe how strong I have become in 9 months, I really can't.
I can't believe what I have gained just in the last 2 months, even in matters of flexibility. I am really proud of myself. I think i am in the best shape of my life. well, I know I am.
I am afraid of losing it, or some of it, but there really is no reason but laziness that I would.
It was hard for me to figure out their methods there a little, basically because I had to go backwards in skill to try and complete simple things, but I learned a few new things as well, and I flew on the spanish web for the first time. I was glad that carrie let me go a little to where I should be and I could see her caution, but she reassured that she would figure out the level I was on soon and just wante to have appropriate spotting.
one funny moment was when she told me to get into and egg on the ropes so she could see my hand strength. the people before me had like 5-7 seconds. then i laughed that it was a staring contest and went into the egg. after about 20 seconds and i was just looking at her she said "ok just come down".
I remembered my first lesson that I could hardly get into an egg and motor plan it.
