thank god, another sunday. another week over, and another monday (and full week ahead) just around the corner. weekends go by WAY TOO FAST. but i think thats probably the general consensus the world over, not just here at teacher training. but a good way to look at it is that now we're a third of the way completed. we'll never have the first three weeks again.
the third week was pretty bad as far as my practice goes. but we're being reminded that we're really not here to improve our practice, we're here to learn how to become the best teachers. so i don't beat myself up if i can't touch my toes (which sometimes happens in the first set, during morning class - i'm sooo stiff!!) i don't belittle myself if i have to sit and rest, or if there are certain things i just simply am unable to do. i'd rather concede and take it easy that push just a little too hard, and do some damage. i can't be good for anyone if i'm injured. and i have to remember (because bikram tells us to!!) that i am the most important person in my life, and i have to take care of myself.
so i'm getting sick. or i AM sick, rather. there's a nasty head-cold going around, and being in such close proximity with over 300 others practically 24 hrs/day, well its rather inevitable that we're all going to have it at one point. i have it now. i'm doing everything i can to shake it out, but i don't want to take medicine... that'll just fuck me up even more. so i made some garlic/chicken-soup stuff, since garlic is a natural antibiotic (and told danielle she may not want to practice next to me tomorrow, since it'll most likely be coming out of my pores, lol). i've been popping these vitamin c gummies all day, 12x my daily dose... don't know what else to do. lots of fluids, tea, water, juice. gargling with salt water, day and night. its nasty. i'm nasty. but i don't care. this is such a humbling experience, it makes me feel like dressing up, putting make-up on, all of that is so unnecessary. i've got no-one to impress. my man is far, far away - not to mention he likes me au natural anyways :)

if they have it at the Walmart - go buy some "airborne" cause Mari said it really works. Although it is more preventative but still, anything that will shorten the duration will be good. Also the infamous echanasea(?) is suppose to wok too. Luv you
haha, airborne in mexico? good one.
