blue_lotus131. As many of you know, I am a hardcore insomniac. This week, I decided to try an experiment. I stopped drinking coffee in the afternoons. Immediately, I could sleep! Unfortunately, I have been falling asleep at 9 or 10 p.m. and waiting up at 5 or 6, but still! We'll see what happens. (Yes, I'm somewhat ashamed to say that it took me so long to try this experiment.)
2. I had a really busy but productive week. I had a meeting with staff from the Writers Guild of Alberta and we talked about the teen writing group that I teach and some ideas for youth programming in the province. It was an extremely successful meeting and one that will likely provide me with some additional work in the future. I also talked about some of the upcoming projects that the teen group will be doing and I'm feeling really good about things.
3. This week, I had to do a lot of work as there was a major farming conference in town. During the conference, I do deadline reporting, and I have to assemble short bites that go out on an email newsletter. It's a quick turn around, and somewhat high pressure, but it gets easier and easier for me to do. I also had to attend the Outstanding Youth Farmers' event and got to hang out with the nominees, including my friend Tam. She and I are both obsessed with food security so we are always recommending books about farming and food security to each other. She's great.
4. I am loving my tribal fusion class. It's really hard work and requires a lot of muscle strength, more so than classical belly dance. I think our piece is going to look amazing, and I'm already looking forward to learning our choreography. We have different teachers for classical and tribal, and both of them are really good teachers and have a variety of strengths to offer.

Date: 2010-01-31 02:25 am (UTC)In my experience my tribal fusion classes have been much tougher regarding strength and flexibility. Or maybe, more demanding of these things. Actually, cabaret floorwork will kick my a$$ in about two seconds. Cab classes can be very hard regarding technique and getting my body to do what I ask of it. Tribal Fusion classes are tough in that I get a serious workout. My ATS studies are tough in learning the vocabulary, variations, and the act of improvising with other people (a lot of mental work).
Hey, do you have any pics from your performance?
