Hello again!

[alasse_irena]

Crawling out of the woodwork post-pandemic. I was missing having a place to post where no-one irl who knows me is, and I briefly considered starting a secret twitter before I remembered that this journal was here.

So um.....how's everyone?

Ahahaha—what timing!! I just started back her again myself—and I'm not doing too bad, thank you XD How about you?

[alasse_irena]

Welcome back to you too! I'm not too bad either. I quit a job that I hated, then landed a job that I think I'm going to love, teaching circus skills to kids. Then we got put into a snap lockdown literally the day after my first shift 😂

So I've been on an enforced holiday, which is fine because my old job paid out all my leave I hadn't used. But! Today I am allowed to be out in the world again!

(P.S. Love your bear icon.)

Hooray for this good news! When you've done a few more shifts and get a chance to reflect on it, please post about your new job, which sounds quite interesting.

Great to hear! And yes, please do post about your new job eventually, it sounds fun :)

Oh man, that sounds really cool!! Is it like—a camp, or do schools bring their kids by, or what, if I can ask?

I hope your day back in the world went well, too. (And thank you! I cropped it myself XP)

Basically we go into primary schools and do workshops! We have either a program where we come in once a week for the whole term, and put together a concert with the kids, or we can just offer one-off workshops. So mostly we're working with manipulation skills (e.g. juggling, hula hoops, poi), or a little bit of acrobalance.

They do have a sister studio teaching aerials, but obviously getting aerial equipment safely rigged *in* a school could be very difficult, so we can't offer that in schools.

Oh man, that's so cool!!! I hope things go well!
