Aerobics assessment coming up, arghh!!!!!!

Yes it is now only 2 days away, will i or will i not be a qualified exercise to music teacher??? I will certainly let you know in my next blog, i just know right now that i am bricking it!! lol

Great news, on Friday i got a text from Mad Dog productions who held the auditions for the new Alice in Wonderland movie  by Tim Burton, and i was asked to take part and audition for the ball room scene as a dancer. But this is just bad timing because on Monday Chris and I had literally just booked and paid for our ferry, breakdown cover and insurance to go away fro 3 weeks, which would mean i would miss the dance audition, the first sitting and the beginning of filming!

Chris asked which would i prefer and i definately chose surfing for 3 weeks in warm waters rather than stuck in Plymouth with the "chance" of being famous in a cool movie. Yes i agree is a fab opportunity, but i only went for it to see if i would get it and i would do it if i was available. And im not!
I go back to university on the 29th September so it would also clash with this as i have so much to organise for the UPPDC and get my head back into science. It was so great though to discover that i was chosen! Congratulations to all of you who went for it and got the part :-) and i'm sorry for those of you who didn't :-(

I taught the Friday class last week and got the girls on a spinning pole then did some flexibility training, was fun but very dizzy! I will next be teaching 2 private classes on Friday this week before i head off to France.

I hope the social went well on saturday, i unfornately couldn't make it due to my Support Work job. I have to work heaps to make up for the 3 weeks of no wages to come!! But i know it will be worth it and i can't wait for this holiday. I have realised that since i started traveling i usually can't go any longer than 2 years without escaping away. As i am at uni it is hard for me to go off on one of my adventures, so now i have to take this trip before the long and evil hours of study get me in October to June next year!! Argghhhhhhh

Enough of my ramblings, take care and hopefully see you on my return to Plymouth :-)

Almost holiday time!!!

Hi!!

Well i have been absolutely manic since i went back to London to do the second part of my course. I will find out if i passed my theory paper when i do my final assessment next Wednesday. Fingers crossed i will pass them both, i have been typing up lesson plans and going over my routine to perfect it, i have also been covering shifts at the studio because the 1.30pmTtuesday afternoon classes have been cancelled til Sept, and doing my support work in the spaces in-between. 

The weekend before last was Chris' birthday so i took him to Newquay for 4 days in the van, it was also the board riders festival. Though we didn't go to it, we went exploring in the rain instead to areas close by. We surfed on Sunday, did coasteering, rock climbing and absailing Monday with SaltAir then went Quad bike racing on Tuesday For Chris' Birthday. It was so much fun, but now i am skint! LOL

So since then i have been putting together my routine and i am going to practice my whole routine tonight, i tried to do it with Chris last night but he was too preoccupied with watching the footy than watching his feet on the grapevine!! LOL
Never mind, i have to teach my imaginary class tonight so i can really get it drilled into my head.

When we moved in to our flat last year, we found that after a couple of months we had a cheap little lodger who left us droppings instead of rent. After not hearing or seeing it for a few months we thought it may have gone, but not til last night! 
I was in the lounge when something small and fast whizzed past the door and into the kitchen, so i rushed in to see what it was, and yes! It was the little mouse that moved in just after us. we chased it around the flat for about 40 mins, during this time the mouse had run over my hand and made me screem and chris had put socks ove his hands to prevent the mouse sctatching him if he caught it. Then he did catch it!! We put it in a tupperware and had a good look at the little sneak, and we noticed he had 3 normal feet and a stump for the other. So cute, we couldn't kill it so we threw it over the wall in the back garden. We heard the owl tooting all night last night so we reckon he had a tasty dinner which had been living our crumbs!

Chris and I have booked our 3 week surfing trip to France starting next Saturday. We are getting the ferry to Roscoff and driving the DUB along the west coast to search for those crystal clear waves that the French coast is famous for. 

Right, have to get back to work.
Take care and may see you before or after i go away for a long deserved break with my lover
