First day of Class

The first day of class was an interesting experience. Stress is sort of flowing in from each side now that the second day of class is over with new homework and problems with the subjects arising. That's not to say, however, that I'm not up for the challenge completely and entirely with everything happening. But, I digress.

The first day of East Asian Performance class was surprisingly fun. I mean, I have had both less and more fun experiences but this was a good experience I believe. The thing I noticed the most was that a lot of the stretches and movements we did felt completely natural and sort of similar to Buddha dance movements only a little more monkey-like and a little less like a clown. The movements are elegant so far.

The fact that we stretch out in the class is okay in my books as it lets me become more toned and I can exercise more in an actual class. The way that we are stretching is really interesting in the idea that we lead with our eyes instead of our heads. It's a little uncomfortable for me to do it all with my socks off though because my feet stick to the ground so I sorta feel like I'm tripping up when we do our basic movements.

I haven't started reading the Ramayana but I think I'm going to start right now actually.

For now, I'm me, signing out
