Travon Martin

so about Travon Martin,  I have opinions.

OPINIONS!!!

Prego

My super fine pregnant fiance.

Uhhhhhhhn Son!

But seriously.  We're having a boy.

Lesson learned.


Bah!

My partner was supposed to be Raze.  But his car broke down the morning before.  So I go to the jam and a random guy asks if I will battle with him.

The thing I learned most from this battle was that I can't do power at the end of a set.  I'm just too freaking tired.  I tried to save it, by doing freezes, but that was a major fail since I couldn't find my balance after crashing out of the power combo.

Lesson: Do power at the beginning of your set

or

Practice doing power at the end of your sets more often during practice.

Update on jobs and such

So last week I was hired on by Specialties Cafe and Bakery in Downtown San Diego.
Which is GREAT because that means I can actually start making money to live and stuff.  Unfortunately, that means that I can no longer teach at Metro Dance.

Saaaaad.

D:

I am however, still working as a sub for Cultureshock Dance Center so that means I can still use their studio to practice and such.

Also, as of tomorrow, I will be working part time for CUPS! 
 It's a Cupcake shop with an espresso bar.  More money means that I can pay off my student loans quicker, which means I can go back to school and be a Nurse!  Yay!

Now for more bad news.  No competitions for a loooong time.  But I'm ok with that because the material that I'm working on is going to take a looooong time to concrete.  Plus, I have to give my body time to heal from previous injuries.  So there's the updates and such.
