I came to class today, but was late. Progress was made, but I still feel kinda silly doing the dances, but its obvious others do as well which makes it less awkward. Actually, even though I feel silly, I'm not really embarrassed. A good vibe exists at least. I'm excited to see what we learn the next class, but I know that before hand I need to start stretching more than just in those classes. The help is definitely needed >_>

New Semester

I haven't begun to record anything related to class here, but I guess is a better time than never.

I've been to all three classes that have met and I am enjoying the class. My body isn't limber and that is my greatest challenge to conquer this semester. To be honest, having a clean and healthy body, and stretching the muscles helps plenty for this, is more important than any spiritual journey provoked by the class because if you are healthy in the body your mind will follow. It is true that if one is physically fit that more oxygen is being supplied to the brain thus allowing for more "intense" thinking if you wish to put the idea into words. Thats kind of a roundabout way of saying that I just want to enjoy myself in this class and not take it as serious as I have the three previous classes with Francis. That doesn't say that I won't work hard because I definitely will its just from here on out I will focus strictly on doing the dances properly and work my body towards being able to perform them adequately.

On another note, I enjoy the setup of the class and have found it challenging both physically and mentally.
