well, we've successfully gotten through another week. and although we've been told that we're still somewhat in the "honey-moon phase" i think we're all glad for it to be over. i know i am. yes, its sunday already, and i almost don't know where yesterday's time went, i am grateful for the rest of today. AND for the fact that i could actually fall asleep last night and sleep through the night, unlike last weekend. i'll tell you what we did yesterday...
rolling out of bed at 5:30 is no fun at all, but the morning class was a refreshing one, taught by linn, who really is a phenomenal teacher, with all of her energy and encouragement. it really is true, if you properly hydrate yourself before class... you don't need water! and she practically bitch slaps you (mentally) to try and get that into your head. mind over the matter...
after class, and after lunch danielle and i both had private half hour sessions with the speech therapist the boss had come down for us. she gave a lecture on thursday afternoon about how to properly and effectively use your voice, so as to not blow out and do permanent damage to your vocal cords while teaching up to 40 hours a week (which, i'm sure, none of us will be doing, at least not right away, but sometime in the future you never know.) B is a longtime personally friend of hers, she saved his yoga teaching career, so she holds a special place is his heart, and she in his. anyways she gave an amazing lecture on thursday and i was so enamored with her vibrancy, strength, and commanding presence that i simply had to have an appointment with her. not for any particular reason, i had nothing in mind that i really wanted to talk to her about, but i felt like she would have something profound to teach me, or even tell me. she has a wonderfully correct intuition into someone's life and history simply by observing the way one carries themselves and speaks. so both danielle and i went to meet with her, one on one, and i think it was well worth the money spent. we both felt extremely empowered after meeting her, and already can see some incredible differences. but one of the big things she said was to "GET OUT OF HERE!". this place can be suffocating, and extremely overwhelming, especially when we are eating, sleeping, breathing the same thing, the same ideas, the same studies. so we did. we took a cab into acapulco, went to the old-town flea market, did a little shopping and went out to dinner. it was just what we both needed, a really great afternoon. then came "home", did a little toying around online and finally crashed around 11:30. AND SLEPT UNTIL 9. perfect.
today is a day for food shopping, and studying. luckily it looks like its going to be a beautiful day, hopefully we'll be able to get our tan on. we're all expressing the same concerns - "it's going to be pretty pathetic if we go home after 2 months in acapulco WITHOUT a tan!!". today's the day for a massage on the beach, too. CAN'T WAIT. LONG OVERDUE.
here are some pics for y'all :)
first is the hotel, then my room, then me and danielle, the beach, and the yoga room.
