Circus Days 11 and 12

Day 11 was aerial and clown.
Aerial was fun, but since I missed the warmup as I hit traffic on the way out of albuquerque, I felt weak and not as brave as usual. I think the almost fall on day 10 helped with this fear problem, but I should be okay in the end. We started coming up with a routine, which is continually mutating but is definitely attractive. is doing her bits in the middle since she is much better at being pretty than the other two of us and the other two of us will be symmetrically (with slight asymmetry) climbing up and doing tricks from the air.

Clown was hilarious. Clown is basically a game of "let's pretend" and I have plenty of experience with that. Like Dr. Dorian in Scrubs, I spend a large part of my life silently watching witty counters to real-life situations. I was told that some of the things that come out of my mouth are hilarious. For me, these things are normal. I guess I am a natural?

Day 12 was Acrobatics, Performance Skills, and Conditioning

Acrobatics was somewhat fun but mostly spent figuring prancing and showing off so that Kate (one of the acro teachers) could figure out the movement act. In the end I get to do some things including a double-dive-roll across the floor. I need to figure out how to do ironing board with Nancy. I can do this. All it needs is a handstand (which I've mostly got) and to keep my legs straight. My hips need to remember to be flexible. Stupid hips.

Performance skills was pretty boring. We spent the first half arguing about colors. The lesson was to make eye contact. I will gladly do so if I am not 10 feet in the air freaking out. We all already knew this.

Conditioning was fun. My abs are extremely sore. My rotator cuffs I think are mildly strained but functional. I am a stronger girl than I was before conditioning. Yay!

Today, Aerials only. and I need to come up with an act for Thursday clown.
