Back is much better

My back is feeling much better thank gawd. It’s still a bit painful when I do some things, but it’s mostly ok and I can stand upright now and walk around without looking like a duck. Hopefully this means it’s just another one of those short bouts that will disappear completely within a few days.

Flights are now all booked to NZ. Leaving Saturday afternoon so that I arrive in Auckland late Saturday night. I may try and find an attack class to do on Monday which might hopefully be the preview for the filming release. I’d like to get a practise in, cuz I’m slow with coordination when I don’t know the chorrey. The attack filming is on Monday so if I could get a practise in that’d be helpful. Vive is straight after the attack filming and I think I might stick around for that. We’ll see. The Jam filming is on before attack, but I just really don’t know if I’ll do it this time around. Gandalf has promised me that it’s getting easier, but I dunno, the class just continues to make me feel incompetant.

I think it’s because everybody has a different learning style. Most people are predominantly visual learners. I’m quite a strong aural learner, with a fair bit of kinesthetic. Most visual learners don’t really “get” non-visual learners. People sometimes say to me “you know that girl that was wearing the red top” and I have absolutely no idea. I remember everything people say, but NOTHING that people wear or look like. I’m unlikely to even remember hair colour. As an example I’ve been to a couple of workshops now with sofie and I’ve pointed out to her things that I’ve heard the presenters say, yet she doesn’t remember it. I hear EVERYTHING 😉

Coming back to Jam, I think it’s a program that relies strongly on a visual learning style. I just can’t pick it up. I need someone to tell me where to put my left foot, where to put my right foot, how slow, how fast……but then you just can’t do that with jam 😆

ok I’ll admit maybe if I did it more often I’d get better at it, it’s like all the programs right? Like where am I going to fit extra time in my week? 😉

OK back to the filmings. So attack and vive monday night………Tuesday & Wednesday try and find some preview classes for combat and balance and maybe some other stuff in the meantime? Dunno, not planning too much just now till I get there. Then Thursday is the filming for pump, combat and balance. Well step is in there aswell, but no step this time for me. I’ve done the whole mad “do all the filmings” thing last year, so I’ll pace myself this year and just do the one’s I’m mad about.
