Quick fly-by

Just a quick fly-by. I'm taking an online English class.  Composition and Rhetoric.  I hope I do as well as I want to.  I have to get my butt in gear and study more.   There's a lot of reading with this class.  I have to work on my second essay, which is due on the 13th.   I have to write a memoir.  I submitted my first "pre-writing" assignment, but I'm not sure I followed instructions to the letter.  My professor is pretty fair about her expectations of us.  I really want to do well.  I just need to work harder at it.

On the exercise front, I'm taking Belly Dance classes with Alba twice a week. I've been dancing consistently since the first of the year.  I think I've missed a total of two classes so far.  One was for my son's first concert and one was for working on my pre-writing assignment. I nearly didn't make it to class tonight because of I popped a rib out sometime this week (Monday night to Tuesday). I was in major pain until late this morning/early this afternoon.  I took some ibuprofen that finally kicked in.  I danced but boy, I tell you, some of the rolls were a little challenging.

My daughter went to class with me tonight.  She did pretty well.  I was proud of her for going, despite the fact that she was frustrated.  I'm glad she went.  I hope she decides to go with me again!!
