Advanced to Silks 2 - new pole studio

Quick little post to say that last week I advanced to Silks 2 at Turner Hall, which is their highest level for the advanced students. It turned out to be less difficult than I expected, although equally as intimidating; and the other girls struggled in much the same way I did, which made me feel much better. I'm pretty proud to have moved up to advanced silks in less than 6 months, a feat I attribute to all my pole training.

Speaking of pole, I finally found another studio to practice at. I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but I'm taking advanced pole classes (and a performance-choreography class) at Blush in West Allis. At first, it started off as a spinning pole class with Chelsea; and then because I had no place else to practice, I asked the owner if I could try out their advanced class.

The format is very much like the elite class was at Studio Phoenix, where you just learn whatever you want to learn and the teacher gives you 1:1 guidance. I'm not sure if I like that or not, but I know I like it at least somewhat because this teacher is actually advanced and can teach me the things I want to know. She's going to help me on my Janeiro, meathook, Batwing, and reverse elbow hooks, which I desperately need help with.








I feel better at the very least having a place to learn new things. I've also been dropping into Koko's studio in Racine; but honestly, I don't really feel comfortable with her as a teacher. She makes me feel very on edge and insecure about myself; but I like Kim, the owner, very much.

別に何もない

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - "One Last Kiss" Drinking: Sen cha from Fava Tea Mood: Mellow-ish. Waking up Working on: Adding Crew 11 to the ISS Wall interactive in Atlantis Reading: Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern (audiobook). About to pick up Matilda by Roald Dahl.  Remember when Livejournal used to have the tags at the end where you could add what you were listening to and what your mood was? Mine had little blue kitty icons that went with your mood and were very cute. I miss them. I particularly remember the 'productive' one, where the cat hat glasses on and was tapping on a keyboard. There was also one where it was snoozing and had little 'zzz's above its head.  On a different note, I had never heard this song by Utada Hikaru before (well, apparently I had because I had already "liked" it on Pandora, but I don't remember it), but I really like it. I'm actually repeating it again. It gives old school Utada vibes but apparently came out ...

Daily Journal

したこと: - Found out someone at work was trying to groom me to cheat on his wife with him, something he's tried before with other women at work, unsuccessfully.  - Had to sign paperwork with my boss in the room stating that I understand employees are allowed to have relationships with each other (I never questioned that) after someone claimed I made a statement I never did after they themselves made many compromising statements. Awkward situations abound now. But everyone has to work professionally and deal, and I better than anyone can do that.  - My boss handled the situation neutrally and incredibly respectfully. I felt incredibly supported by her in that moment and like she handled it very well. I appreciated her skills as a leader in that situation and am grateful. She closed the situation graciously.  - She also graciously checked in on my workload. It was one of the moments that made me remember when Christine actually felt like a great boss when I really liked workin...

Souperbowl III

Tonight was my third annual Souperbowl. It was the best one yet. I added mini disposable muffin tins, which were a huge hit. You could sample six soups at once and not overeat and have to keep going back.  There were 10 soups, buffalo chicken dip, 3 main breads, and also a baguette and naan. Meredith won again best soup, Meghan won best bread, and Mikayla won most creative soup. The price for best soup was a tamagotchi, which sent little Meredith Magness in tears when her family didn't win.  There were at least 27 people because I bought 28 muffin tins and there was only one left; although when we counted for voting, there were only 22 (plus Kerri in her room).  All in all, it was a great Souper Bowl. Everyone got along and there was so much crossover between people who had never even met before. Nothing but positive vibes.
