UBC and Me

posted in: Fitness 0

Me right now at UBC Okanagan. Pic taken with my computer–not recommended. I look terrible but not hideous so I’ll leave it. Not much to say but I haven’t blogged in a few days so I thought I’d stop by.

A difficult week. Change is always difficult. Good and bad changes are hard. It is the unknown fears of what is ahead that shake one. Regular evening UBC ZUmba is over for the term, my thesis is over. Now it is the unknown ahead for me. I have plans, projects, but how it will all come together and give me a good income is yet to be revealed.

I want my cells to vibrate to the frequency of love and happiness–and then magic–I shall be. (A little Buddhism and physics to keep me focused.)

For me, I am uploading my thesis right now–after struggles with copyright, I am finally uploading it and sending it back to Graduate Studies for a final formatting check. Next–in 45 minutes I teach Zumba here in the ballroom. Gotta go upload–write later.

OK, back from teaching noon Zumba. It was HOT in the ball room and a few of my students dropped like flies. Not really, but they left 1/2 way through class–they were over dressed and not in great shape so they packed it in early. I hate when that happens but some people think Zumba is a walk in the park which, it isn’t. It’s a hard cardio dance work out that one has to dress very lightly for. Zumba Gold is designed for those persons not able to handle hard cardio. I feel bad that these people drop out but I don’t teach Zumba Gold–especially on Campus I have to cater to the average fairly fit person.And I encourage everyone to go at their own pace. I did have a couple of students verbalize what a great class it was today so I felt they were letting me know it wasn’t too hard and the drop outs were just out of shape.

Haven’t heard yet if my PDF thesis is perfect and ready for the final upload–hope he gets to it before the weekend.

Leaving campus. Left my dogs boys in the kennel all day 🙁 Off to receive my first leg massage of the year. It has been a long time coming. Ideally I should have a leg massage weekly–my legs take a beating teaching so many hours of Zumba each week. But I don’t have the time for a weekly massage. So my once a year will have to be it.

The weekend is a mystery. But a night out at the movie Mirror Mirror with my darling daughters just might happen tonight.
