circus school days 9 and 10

Sunday was performance skills. I don't think either of us learned much, which was sad. I felt like it was pulling teeth just to get my group to come together and figure something out. We missed the acrobatics part of class for a wedding. C'est la vie.

Today was aerial fabric only. I had a blast and got to relearn some stuff. Unfortunately at some point in the class I had complete arm muscle failure 5 feet above the ground at the point when the knot in my foot slipped, but the instructor helped me get down before I died. My foot was even with her head, so this puts me at around 5 feet. I need to stop thinking I am infallible and can do anything. I am wrong. Other than that scary moment, I did all sorts of fun stuff. Every once in a blue moon I make the mistake of realizing how high up I am and freeze, thinking "whose stupid idea was this???" but I think I'm over it for now. Going down stairs, which used to hold some level of trepidation for me, is now easy though. ;)
