Just Thoughts
Couldn't think of a title for summary of today events.
In fact, now I am trying very hard to keep my eyes open (when it is only 10+ pm), guess really have to make up for the lack of sleep. Was feeling moody since evening and tired from today's lesson.
While, today hip hop lesson seems easier than last week. Wonder is it because I am getting some hang of it, or is it because today we don't have the "right and left sets of movements", so today's dance steps weren't that confusing.
My colleague didn't came for Hip Hop today, seems like she's going to give up. "A.C", the girl we met last week (who happened to be a first-timer like us), was back today. She had already decided to sign up as member. Had promised her I will be back next week, so that we can "malu" together.
Before the lesson starts, while everyone was waiting, there was this student, a rather show-off type, dancing right in centre of the classroom. Yeah, you can say he was practicing, (later we found out that he was also in the advance Hip Hop class, wonder y he still attend the beginner class) but the dances steps are not all Hip-Hop style, he seems to be dancing some combination of Hip Hop, jazz and turns.
Had to admit he was good, despite the showy attitude. "AC" commented that normally for these type of dancers, it's natural for them to dance in front of strangers, as they are the sort who like to receive attention. It's the attention they received that motivate them to dance better.
haha, I don't think I will be able to dance well even after 10 lessons. As I know I belongs to the more reserved type--- who only repeat the steps when the dance instructor ask us to do so and don't dare to do big movements.
It's a bit tough, especially when you know you don't have the "dancer's syle". My colleague lack of interest in continuing the course make it less fun for me to attend the Hip Hop class weekly. However, had set a target for myself, that I must hang on until end of this year. As what the saying goes, 天下无难事,只怕有心人(tian1 xia4 wu2 nan2 shi4, zhi3 pa4 you3 xin1 ren2). The more difficult it is, must try to overcome it.
in the evening, I began to wondered am I pushing myself too hard. On weekdays, I struggled with work and tuition and had little time to study for SAT test. Moreover, there are so many problems to settle and things I had planned to do for weeks but had not really start on them yet. Like designing a series of Christmas cards, rewriting my novel. Yet i still had planned for quite a few things to add to my "to-do" list.
Seems like it's me who 自讨苦吃(zhi4 tao3 ku3 chi1), isn't it.
Ok, can't tahan liao. gtg to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
