Week 5 draws to a close

The time is flying by. I am more than halfway through Term 1. The workload is ridiculous!!! There are a number of factors for this situation: I am condensing a year's work into two terms which means that the Solo pieces normally learned and performed at the end of the year must be done now, I have to join the fourth year's for the teaching as the BA class only consists of two students, so I am doing their workload as well as the BA's pieces and then there is the work for the performance with the Stage Troupe for the centenial celebrations! This all adds up to intensive 7 - 8 hours a day of Eurythmy and a total of 14 pieces that I have to learn simultaneously!!! Yesterday we started a piece and then I went completely blank! Just stood there unable to access the file for the piece! My teacher laughed and sympathised. I think she is amazed that I am still standing!!

Sometimes I feel like a Whirling Dervish!

Still doing some great beachtime in the early mornings on the weekend and still loving the Cape.

Here are my classmates:

Shereen, Maya, Elizabeth, Laura, Mynda, David

(Absent Emma)

We have a lot of fun together and you would never think that I am old enough to be their mother or maybe even grandmother! We are classmates and we gossip and laugh and giggle and share.......They each have amazing stories to tell, including how they got to be studying Eurythmy. I am getting very close to them!

Those of you who know him will recognise Peter Smith in this pic with me and Ros. He lives in Germany and is visiting here and we had a wonderful al fresco dinner on Ros's deck. He is such a great guy and it was wonderful to see him.

And here we are at dinner - an that's Kevin Ovenstone on the right!

Kevin has been a great buddy to me since I have been here - he is a really amazing guy and we had a lot of fun and conversation together. He left yesterday for Angola to join a research vessel offshore on which he is employed as a Medic. I now have the use of his car for some weeks!

Gotta go to school........xx
