Bound, bound, bound and rebound .... why haven't I gone to bed yet?
I've been meaning to sit down and write a post for the past couple of days, and time just keeps slipping away from me. It has been an eventful week, it feels like....
I signed up to take trampoline classes (again) on Monday at the AC .... looking forward to another semester of bouncing. I love to fly .... although I have rather been feeling the effects of gravity ever since Monday evening - its very much worth it, though. Slightly intimidated by the 3 Phys. Ed. students who make up the rest of the class, particularly the one who, from what I've seen, definitley has some professional gymnast training.... ah, well, its all fun, nothing to be taken too seriously. Just let me BOUNCE! And fly...
Funny story about the first class this week (well, techinically it was the 2nd week of class, but my first). One of the girls (not super gymnast girl, Eva) started chatting with me before class, very friendly and nice, asking what I was taking, etc. I didn't catch her name until the instructor was going down his list, and I heard him say 'Okay, we have Caroline and Carolyn'. (So I didn't ask her for her name at that point). She also has a twin, who is in another trampoline section, and apparently they messed with his mind a bit by not telling him they were twins...getting off topic. She refered to herself and her sister as the 'KKK', and she told Tom (our fabulous instructor) that she goes by Carol. Oops, Karol....but it looks so weird to type that! Anyways, so a few minutes later I ask her what her twin's name is, out of curiousity. 'Kathy', she replies....'As in Katherine?', I ask in some disbelief. I couldn't believe it - identical twins, Karoline & Katherine, or Karol and Kathy. What are the odds.... very amusing. In any case, she hadn't caught my name earlier (hadn't asked), and needless to say, she was a little surprised too to find out that I was Carolyn, and had a sister (although not a twin) named Catherine. (And yes, we would not be impressed if you called either of us Carol, Caroline, or Cathy. Or spelled it with a K....but thats just us 'CC's').
Wow, this is already longer than I'd meant it to be, and I need to go to bed soon....tomorrow is my loooong work day. Blah.
What else? Oh, yes, I wanted to say THANK YOU to Talibah for making a yummy vegetarian lasanga for dinner tonight!! Sooo good (and I didn't have to cook, whoohoo!). Even better. And also for helping me get the recycling stuff in order, it was much appreciated.
My books arrived today as well, which was a nice thing to come home to after a long day. I also just now learned some good news, and that is that RENT, my favorite musical of all time, is making a few Canadian stops on its tour in the near future..... EEEEEE! Don't know if I'll get a chance to go or not, but it would be so awesome if I could. (I found out the news from a friend who currently resides in California, go figure). The show will be in London (ON) on Valentines Day, Hamilton March 14, and Kitchener March 15-16. Hmm.... Anybody wanna go?
"How do you measure a year? Measure in love...."
"No day but today."
"How can you leave the past behind when it keeps finding ways to get to your heart? It reaches way down deep and tears you inside out, 'til you're torn apart .... RENT! How can you connect in an age where strangers, landlords, lovers, your own blood cells betray? What binds the fabric together when the raging, shifting winds of change keep ripping away?"
ahh...... RENT.
"Yes, you live a lie - tell you why! You're always preaching not to be numb, but thats how you thrive. You pretend to create and observe when you really DETACH from feeling alive..."
"Perhaps thats because I'm the one of us to survive!"
Okay, I really should go to bed now.
