Silks 2 Week 1
Oct. 29th, 2014 10:50 pmOkay - just started silks level 2 today, and... it's going to be a challenge.
I'm the idiot of the class - there are two other students, both with a LOT more experience with me. One has taken level 2 silks 3 times now; the other has a year and a half of aerial hoop experience.
Plus my new teacher.... she and I just don't mesh well. She tends to assume we all know things I don't; she plays on her phone while we're practicing, and during closing class, she said she wanted everyone to say their most and least favorite things about the class.... but forgot me. Literally. Like, had one student talk, had the other, and then when I opened my mouth, said 'now it's time to move to stretching!' She remembered a few minutes later, and asked me if I wanted to "share," but by then I just wanted to crawl into a hole and die.
Add to that the fact that we spent about 45 minutes of class today climbing, in spite of my injured shoulder, and that she kept working on climbs after I told her I was in pain and it was hampering my ability to descend properly and safely.... (apparently I was supposed to just sit out, in spite of the fact that I paid for the class?)
Anyway. I won't be able to make it to extra practice this week, and on top of that we're starting to learn enough stuff that I want to keep a log of it from week to week, so I'm going to start listing stuff we do here. If I can't physically practice, at least I can keep things in my mind..... This is mostly for me, so feel free to skip and move along.
( Hidden, because it's of little interest to anyone who's not me )
