Sam will be stoked to see this! lol

I know its been ages since i last wrote on here but i have been way too busy with uni.

I managed to get all my course work done and handed in on time, finished the uni classes for the year, getting on well in both my jobs then i went on a field trip and dislocated me knee!

So for the past 3 weeks i have been out of action, but am slowly getting back the ability to bend my knee again. I was advised to keep the bend in my leg brace at 30 degrees for 2 weeks, but after a week i could bend my knee to 60 degrees with not too much discomfort. 

Only yesterday i changed the bend in the leg brace to 75 degrees, which i am totally happy with, but it is still getting used to it so i won't be back on the pole just yet. i am hoping that by the end of next week i can take my leg brace off regularly with a bend of 90 degrees plus, but i have to take it easy or Chris tells me off, lol!

I have my first exam on Friday, its all about natural resources focusing on water, uranium and meat consumption. I have made pretty little mind maps that now decorate my flat. Chris tested me last night and i really have a lot of memory work to do.

I was totally gutted i missed out on the farm day out with the girls, i hope to make the next team build as i don't get to see the girls so much now and feel like I'm loosing touch with the pole world.

I hope Sam has managed to catch the thief that has been stealing her money, i just couldn't believe it when i heard about it, poor Rosanna and Tamar must of felt so bad. I'm just glad it hasn't happened again, little scum bags!

The UPPDC had the annual AGM where people can nominate themselves and be voted in to a position to the committee, i didn't go for a position for next year as i have a dissitation to do on top of the usual load of coursework, a little too much stress for me! I will be teaching some of the classes next year but i am sure the other girls would love a chance to have a go too.

I have just signed up to be a Vie consultant, which means i am looking for hostesses to have parties at their house/ venue so they can try on and feel lots of amazing beauty products and make up. I am a beauty therapist by trade and have been missing the social fun side of the beauty business. I will leave leaflets at the studio if anyone is interested, maybe you could have a pole and beauty party!

I think thats all i have time to talk about as i have to get back to revision. I hope Jo's legs are on the mend and she is getting on well, she looked well at our last meeting.

Take care and i look forward to seeing everyone in the near future when my knee is all fixed.

Love Nixi

Where has the time gone ????

My my, it has been along time since i last wrote on these pages, and i'm not sure if i am going to remember everything that has and is going on!

Well Christmas was fab and New Year was awesome as i was living it up in Amsterdam with my lover and some friends.

Started back at uni with heaps of dead lines and exams, but now it has mellowed out before the storm in the next few weeks when we will be given more deadlines and our final year exams start, ARRRGGGHHHH!! hehehe

The UPPDC classes have been back on and are going well, though have been turned up a notch as i really want to challenge my girls now it is the second year of the club running successfully. The AGM will be arriving soon so a new committee will be nominated and elected which is very exciting! I will be stepping down as chair because of uni commitment in my third year, but I will still be teaching the UPPDC classes.

Well as i am sure you are all well aware of Sam's new fame from the South Devon College performance. It is amazing that some people just can not open their minds to the concept that pole dancing is actually very physically demanding and not a display of muff grinding on the pole! The news was found to be all over the world making the Art of Dance the most talked about and published pole dance school ever! (In my eyes) I am very proud of Sam putting her foot down and not letting the college treat her like an idiot as she is anything but! Go girl!

The UPPDC had recently performed in the university SU in a showcase to raise money and awareness for Muscular Dystrophy, most of the committee performed and some of our members. It was such a successful and awesome night that we are in talks about doing another one maybe at the end of this academic year. We raised over £200 (we are waiting to hear back from Muscular Dystrophy campaign for the exact figures), so we are all very pleased by ourselves. We also have to thank the DJ's that volunteered for us and the BreakDance club who put there moves down to entertain so we could all have a break and not worry about our nerves. Chris filmed the whole event so i am slowly uploading them on to YouTube (it takes over 2 hours each time) under Sexinixi so you can have a little look and see how it went.

Sam sent me an email recently which British Isles Pole Dance Championships are advertising their pre auditions and competition through seedy strip clubs, this is not what the pole dance industry want to hear as everyone have been working so hard to make the art of pole dance have a great reputation, and this "championship" could just destroy all the hard work building pole dance up to be an athletic and professional sport. It just makes my blood boil how some people really just want to make money from something which should be treated with respect.

Right, i have to finish ranting as i am starving and i have just finished an essay so needed to let off some steam. Sam will be glad when she has seen i have written on here :-)

Thank you for reading, have a great weekend and take care of yourselves ;-D
