Lesson 23 & 24

Was not in the mood last week, so didn't write anything. Lonely, lonely, I feel like I am the only one left behind. Everyone has moved on his/her new life, new love, but me. I stand at the same place, looking back, losing direction. Even Andy saw it. He said I looked like I was disoriented. I said physically, I was not, but mentally, I did lose my direction.

Thank you Grace, Ching, Iris. I just need someone to talk to. I'm lost, but I shall be back soon.

Glad that this week, I have a little break through.

One-Foot-Spin -
I kinda found that one spot. My body starting to remember the location. My successful rate has bumped up to 60-70%. However, Andy still wants a better position. It's a tiring position. Will try harder. But I'm happy enough, much better than couple weeks ago. By then, I could start out a pivot 10 times, and failed 10 times. But now I know, even I fail a couple of times, I would at least be able to make a couple right on. Then we process to the T-position entry, or outside edge entry, whatever name. With Andy's help, I got 1 succeeded. Not bad for now.

Waltz Jump -
Pretty much the same. Maybe a little better after I tried to hold my entry a little longer before taking off. Have been trying to perfect the air position. Will see.

Toe-Loop -
Starting to understand how it works. I even landed a couple ugly and small ones. I could feel them as real toe-loops, instead of toe-waltz. Yea, I got that feeling, the feeling of revolving almost 360 degree in the air. I got it. But in order to make the whole jump looks nicer, I have to go back to practising a toe-waltz first.

Lesson 22

There must be something wrong with the computer system. How come it said today was my first lesson of the cycle? And I haven't paid the tuition fee yet? I was confused at first until I came home and checked on my receipt and saw that it was actually my 3rd lesson of the cycle and I had paid already. Anyway, not a big deal, just need to clear it up next time.

I went with Amy, Emily, Yee, Victor and his friends to the "flower market" today. Wow, my goodness, it was more like sweeping along by people instead of walking, I was sure I had made a couple one-foot-spin at the spot. Well, just an experience, next year, hehe..... not much desire to experience it again.

What's wrong with Andy? I don't know, and I don't care what other people said. Do I really not care? No, I know I do care, but in another way around, I care, because I find out I care about Andy. I care about him. Thus I feel hurt for what I've heard. I feel hurt for him. Though I didn't hear much, but it seemed to imply Andy is not a good coach. I know he's not the best, but to me, he's good enough. Sigh..... I do care about him.

One-Foot-Spin -
Tried the T-position entry, with some kinda success. Other than that, the same, not much progress.

Waltz Jump -
Again, not much progress.

Toe-Loop -
The same, not much progress.

My feet are hurting. I'm tired. I can jump and spin no more. In the coming lesson, I'm going to ask Andy to help me with the basics.
