The life of a (dancing) teacher March 22, 2009

Well, the first hectic part the reports have been done. The children have gotten them Friday, so they can read them this weekend. Then next week, the ten-minute talks with the parents start. Since I’m still absent on Monday’s and Tuesday’s and I’m still tired at the end of a day, I’ll be doing them in two days. That’s the other hectic part.

Yesterday, I had so much fun: There was the ‘Gladiolendag’. A dance day organised by four folklore dance teachers (one of them my own): Liedewijde Mars, Sibylle Helmer, Wijnand Karel and Bert v.d. Meer. People came from all over the country for this. Two teachers taught at the same time, and after 85 minutes or so, the groups would change teachers. Same construction during the afternoon.
Faith decided differently, though. During my first lesson, my own dance teacher got after only half an hour an injury so badly she hardly was able to walk. So, since I knew the dances she would be teaching, already, I jumped in with a little help. My dance teacher felt I found it scary, so the first dance I did with three others, while she “yelled” what to do. Later one, I did it by myself, for a group of 40 people, and later the other group of around 40 people. And than later on, when they filmed all the dances. I still can’t believe I actually did that LOL. So now I’m pitiable, because I’ve got a bunch of sore muscles now LOL.

And only six days away and a new season of Robin Hood will start on the BBC. I’m so totally excited. There are new photos at a website called Shootastic and they call for fanart. So I’m off to make some now and make a start on my art website, which I’ve been planning to make for a very long time already.

 

I’m not dead… March 1, 2009

I’ve just got a lot of things on my mind lately. Work has not been going all that well and I’m taking a step back: working two and a half days now instead of five. I do plan on working fulltime again. That’s been one reason I’ve hardly updated this blog. Others are:

  1. I’ve discovered the BBC version of Robin Hood after buying season 1 for €6,- . Now I’ve just gotten season 2 and I’m going to watch that in the evenings now.
  2. I’ve been planning the yearly dance weekend for our dance group. In the city I live in, it’s the only folkloreĀ dance group which has two children groups and two teenager groups. The teenagers will be going as well, unfortunately not one child from group 2 will be going.
  3. Two weeks ago I’ve been to Barcelona. Photo’s will be updated soon. I do have some op at my DeviantArt.
  4. I’ve been moving another bunch of my stuff from my mum’s to my own appartment. It’s rather funny, because I’ve got tons and tons of things, but apparently I’m not in need of them that desperate.
  5. I’ve been spending too much time on the Merlin2008 and Robin Hood message boards.
  6. I’ve been working on my TCG for Merlin.

So, now you know why I haven’t been around much. And in another three hours I’ll be gone from home as well. My mum called asking if I would go with her and sis to the movies. I said it depended on the movie, and they were to see “Oorlogswinter”, one of the most famous books about the WW II for teenagers, here in The Netherlands. I’ve read it many, many years ago, and I’m curious how the movie turned out.

I hope to be able to update more and more, but I’m not quite sure if I can manage that. Just stay tuned.
