On: The End & New Beginnings

1. I have a confession. When I came home from the opera, I did see Phil. Not very many times. A lot has happened in the last few months and I wasn't really motivated to fight him for his time. But now it's ended. I cried at work yesterday. I surprised myself. I cried because I was sad that after two years of whatever it was we had, I have nothing to show for it but a really harsh lesson. I was never in love. He never wanted more than my ass. And now it's over.

2. I passed my Pilates Final this week. I'm planning to complete my hours by late March and April's Orientation at the Studio will be my last. I'm 224 hours away from my new path!

3. I started a Dance Education Training course a couple of weeks back. It's been really great so far, quite enlightening actually. What I'm learning in the class each week, I've been applying to my TA gig with the Studio's Children & Teen Modern classes. I hoping that at the end of this course, I'll be prepared to teach in the city school system, in arts-in-ed programs, or in after school programs. The course ends in May. I banking on landing a sub or part-time gig at a school for September.

4. Tonight's date didn't happen. He had trouble with his car. I'm trying not to be superstitious about it. We rescheduled for Tuesday.

Lettuce as Pilates Guru

Word. It's been settled then.

Beginning next week, I'll be working toward a Pilates certification. I've finally settled on the Pilates Sports Center at Reebok on the Upper Westside. After several weeks of confusing research, contradicting advice from fellow dancers, and too many conversations with really obnoxious front desk people (does anyone care about customer service anymore?!), I received a random message from an old friend. She's running the certification program at Reebok. I took it to mean a sign. It was the only school I hadn't heard of, but who's program was the cheapest, most attractive, and most conducive to my personal schedule. She's is a dancer, which is important to me because dancers "get it". She also happens to be a Pisces, so we get along very well; she has a really lovely, beautiful spirit and I was very excited to find out that I'd get the opportunity to be certified by her. I'll be giving free classes sometime in the spiring as part of my practicum, so stay tuned!

Yaay for intuition!



Just over the horizon.
