It's Saturday night after a long, exciting and somewhat exhausting day of massage school (8:15 AM to 5:45 PM), I am home and have eaten dinner and am watching Dr. Who (Season 8, episode 10) - now you might well wonder about me writing while watching TV, but that is what you're getting. They have oyster cards on Dr Who, just like in Boston (although I think they're call Charlie Cards in Boston) for the underground, but sadly London has been overgrown by a massive forest, so they're having trouble getting around. Saturdays are particularly difficult for blogging - I basically get up slightly earlier than usual, do classes all day and then come home and want to veg-out: this is not a recipe for giving you, the valued reader, the best of blog entries. However, I really believe that doing this every day that I possibly can is important, so this is what I am doing.
In my school, we start doing clinic in a very few weeks, and that is both frightening and exciting: my first paying massage clients! I hope that it goes well, I'm a bit apprehensive, but I feel that the school is doing an excellent job preparing us, which is pretty reassuring.
I got to use my tiny air compressor to help pump up a classmate's car tire after class today (Janessa): it was fun although not too exciting. I seldom get to use the pump, so it was nice to check and make sure it still works.
Wow, and I thought yesterday's blog was boring. Let's see - there is stuff that I don't mind writing here, and other stuff that probably isn't particularly appropriate and right now the only junk in my mind is drivel and inappropriate shit. I do want to talk about what is needed, what organizational stuff still needs to happen: I need to clear out a bunch of old clothes so that there is room for some of my stuff in the closet, I need to build the shed out back, move some garage things into the shed, and then figure out what furniture I actually need in my room. I also need to find a doctor, both a GP for an annual and an ophthalmologist, I need to find a moving company to take a couple pieces of furniture from Pennsylvania to me here in Windsor. I need to call the Professional Ski Instructors Association and move my membership out here to the Western Region - and I need to establish a real routine, it has been far, far too long since I have had anything resembling routine. I need my bicycle fixed so that regular exercise becomes part of that routine, and of course I need to start my Work Study, since that will be a regular part of my life for the next year (as I am finishing up my CMT work and getting certified as a massage therapist).
What else should I tell you, "before you know the future, first learn about your past" - dialog from the second Percy Jackson movie. Not bad, but sometimes the colloquial language almost interferes with the magical and mythical themes of the film, and yet that is really the point. But the dialog still works better than Twilight (which was also on TV and I again attempted to watch, but after 2 minutes I had to change the channel: I guess I'm not a 13 year old girl...). OK, time to stop - Twilight references are just too much!
