saffiterHey!,
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

Date: 2004-04-08 01:26 am (UTC)How can they start it earlier without telling everyone? I'd be protesting.
Don't really know. I suppose starting early is better than starting late, and they DID wait for the older dancers who were still coming in from work... but only long enough for them to get dressed. No warm up time (which is what I was protesting about).
finishing is an entirely different matter *rolls eyes*.
*snicker* Oh, I know how that story goes.
Sounds like you've got a bit of work to do before your next event. So do my girls - comp in a month. This is not going to go well. Disaster abounds, I can see it.
*nods* Yuh, huh. Though I found out why my asthma's been so weird lately (and why I can't get rid of my cough). Lingering bronchitis from some time ago that didn't get treated. I'm on stuff for it now so it should get cleared up soon. Once I can actually BREATHE while I'm dancing there should be a marked improvement.
Hey, think positevly, they may pull something out of their arse that you're not expecting.
Good luck with those assignments. Poor poor you. I'm so glad not to be at uni right now. Am bored as all hell though.
Thanks. I just handed in the last one today. I'm on break (only for a week, and I have 3 to do for the same subject on said break), so I'll be getting to relax a little bit. Bored is not good...
