Morning people should be shot!
Apr. 5th, 2004 08:09 amHey!,
Yup, sitting in the computer labs at uni again. they have comfy chairs... wonder if I could hide one in my bag to take home?....
Re: the title of this entry. Got up far too early, with only about an hours sleep if I'm lucky *bleah*, to have dad singing "Sheena's lost her pencil case". *scowls*. Morning people should be shot.
Y'know, I've noticed that the lines at Mr. Bean's Coffee is getting longer the closer we're getting to holidays.... mmmmm.... coffee.... with chocolate....
Anyway, had a feis on the weekend. Had fun, but didn't have any time to warm up (it was supposed to start at 5:30pm but they were running early. I walked in at 5pm and saw all the people in my section dressed! Yikes!). It was at Hendra, which is all well and good if you're in a younger age group, but that stage is just too small for 2 older open dancers at one time. There were collisions gallore during the session I was there. I got kicked!
First dance up was my reel, which was okay but would have been better if I'd had a chance to warm up, I wouldn't have been as leary of the bicycles in it if I'd had a warm up (those and these funny jumpy things we have). I didn't place in that one. I also got kicked by Sam in it!
next up was my slip jig. Since I'd managed to warm up by this time and this dance was MUCH better. I was gliding the entire way through it (there's supposed to be bicycles in the first step of it too, but I can't be bothered doing them just yet). I didn't place in this one either. Wasn't really expecting to though.
Final dance was the jig, which is pretty much the same jig I've been doing since last year... just with a stack more overtoes added into it... LOTS of overtoes. And penguins (heel twist things) *shudder*. Don't ask how I did it but I acutally managed to pull off, but I actually placed in this dance AND managed to beat some REALLY good dancers in the process. I just need to work on the penguins in the last step AND not die by the end of the dance *grin*.
Anyway, more later. Once I've got the three assesement peices done that are due in this week on the same bloody day *whimper*. I forsee not much sleep this week.n
