Bikram has the best one liners! He just tosses them out right, left, and center haha. I try to write as many down as possible. I'll try to share some of my favorite ones as the weeks go by.
This week was really good. There were some long days filled with 100 half moon dialouges and Bollywood movies that kept us up till 3am. (we wake up @ 7am) It was challenging to say the least. I've come to realize that this is not the time to be going through classes without water. There's just way too much sweating and dehidration going on right now. I've been really focused though, and have yet to sit out a posture or drink water until after fixed-firm posture. I'd say very few people could say the same (if any).
My half moon dialogue is coming along, however, I have yet to practice in front of Bikram because everyone is at the edge of their seat trying to be next. After spending an entire 6 hrs trying to jump up and then be asked to sit back down, I decided that it will happen eventually. I've gotten up to awkward posture (ukitasana) which I'm happy with since we wont be through half moon until the middle of next week- at the earliest.
Last night we had no lecture after our last class which was the hugest relief so my room mate, Laura, and two other girls, one from Winnipeg and one from Texas, went out to this awesome restaurant in Del Mar called The Brigitine and ate the best fish tacos of my entire life! The night ended with us practicing our half moon dialogue on the patio with demonstrators and the whole dining room acting as our audience. Then, this morning we had a 8am class with the rest of the weekend off. Laura went home to be with her boyfriend, and the two girls from the night before and I explored Ocean Beach, a small hippie beach town about 20 minutes on public transit from our hotel. I apologize. No pictures! I brought my camera and discovered that it was dead, which doesn't make sense because I charged it before I got here and haven't tried to use it till now. So now I'm faced with the decision of having to buy a new camera while I'm out here or not... is it worth it? It kills me to see the beauty of California and not take a snap shot for bragging rights on Facebook. I think I'll go to Walmart tomorrow and check out the scene... as much as I hate supporting Walmart, I'm kind of tight on cash. Tomorrow we're going to a different beach, Mission Beach, which we've heard is really nice. I can't wait :)
If you see Scott, give him a big hug for me! He's so lonely at home by himself, and even though we talk every night, I think it only makes him miss me more. Try and help him occupy his time while I'm away eh, he's just a baby ;)
I hope you're enjoying yourselves in cold Canada, I'll be basking in 28 degrees tomorrow- Ciao!
