alasse_irenaIn aerial hoop adventures: last week was grading week at the place I do my aerials. Basically, they run you through all the skills you've learnt in that level, and if you've got it all worked out, then they tick you off to sign up for the next level. Otherwise, they recommend you take the same level again, rather than wind up in a class where you're not strong enough yet to do what you're learning. It's fairly chill and non-stressful. By some absolute mystery, I passed my grading, about which I am a little confused, because I managed to do some skills that I had literally never done before that day because I have never been strong enough. So, mysteriously I am up to intermediate 3 this term, and when I pass that somehow I will have fooled them into thinking I am advanced?? IDK, I am used to ballet, where five years after you start you are still working on perfecting your absolute basics or fussing over small details. XD It's weird to me to hear, "Yup, good job, up you go," and not, "Okay, but you could work on getting your shoulders down, don't forget to think about your supporting leg, where were you looking when you did that?"
I have picked up a casual admin job. I have like 10 hours a week, but paid as if it's a couple of hours more, because some of them are on the weekend and some of them are late-ish evening. It is very quiet most of the time, so it's low stress, and it has a little more human interaction than my previous job, so that is pleasant.
Cinnamon scrolls! Girlfriend and I made some last night. They are delicious, though with enough cinnamon butter and icing that I am capable of eating about half a scroll at absolute maximum. Perhaps pictures later, but I'm writing this post at work while nothing is happening, so maybe not now.
I am going to a free ceramics class this afternoon! I am excited to like...make a shitty pinch pot like I'm eight years old again. It'll be great.

Yay!

Congratulations though!
