EHU Final Year- Thirty-First Week

Monday

It's sunny and my last day working in a row before a few days off. That means, attempting to get into the sun when I can (as it'll apparently be horrible the next few days) and so leave myself enough admin for the coming days.

It is important to stay on my goals and reminding myself of them.

So aims for the next few days

- complete dissertation music editing, as best as can without bodies dancing,

- begin putting all my diss research chronologically for my viva

- upload my CV pack to turn it in (means I only have my disseratation module left and I pass)

- Finish reading through the level three anatomy book

- Begin yoga practice tests

- Start broadcasting yoga classes

- GYM

- Learn about Reiki

Not a bad early week.

I keep reminding myself that I wont be dancing the same next year when on my masters course, its so strange. When on holiday, it feels like a mini break but it is how many people live- without dance on a day-day. It just inspires me more towards my future of my company and having my own studio space one day so I can practice 'at work', hold yoga classes and have all my one day silk, pole and my cyr wheel in there too.

Tuesday

So what did I do with a day off. I was up surprisingly early but refused to get up- knowing I would then have to nap and it would ruin my flow.

Once finally up, I started deep cleaning the flat. I hadn't had it tip-top between shifts and know a clean space makes me work better.

Languages done for the day

Push ups

I did a full yoga/stretch session to myself, freelancing it. Instead of planning or thinking of moves I just allowed one to flow into another creating a 40 minute sequence. I can really see improvements and know this is what will keep me sane when I no longer dance full time (for now anyway). The best part is I am still fumbling, falling, and unable to do some positions. I think I made up one too- that I will try and post a photo of soon, which means I have specific goals what I would like to achieve but without the stress of a timeline.

I maed some food and headed for the gym. It feels like ages since I have been here and I am making sure I start working more and more with free weights, preparing for next year. In my reading yesterday I also discovered two exersises I can do to help improve my posture and forward rolling shoulders. The littlest weights were still killing these muscles, meaning they weren't ever really active and now hopefully they will start to enagage and my posture will improve. I wish I started taking this as seriously ages ago BUT also know it is happening now as NOW IS WHEN I AM REALLY READY.

Today was a cute day, catching up with my friends from home again properly and felt so much love. I am so honestly happy with where I am right now.

I finished editing another version of my dissertation music and uploaded my essay. One module left and I have my BA Hons. HOW SCARY IS THAT WHEN YOU WRITE IT DOWN.

Wednesday

YOGA IS TONIGHT I AM SO EXCITED.

My sleeping pattern is messed up but none the less a groggy Tam awakes for the day, clearly in a good mood (that wasn't sarcasm).

I should have been doing more yoga reading, but during the day I was cooking, binging Netflix and getting only a few of my tasks done. Heading into town to meet up with my mate and then YOGA.

Thursday

Last day off and honestly I just felt tired for the most part. I slummed it on the sofa binging off Netflix, rewarded myself with a nap. Once awake again I finally felt human for the first time today, and began some more anatomical reading.

As a result, the latter end of my day was more productive with home work outs and getting through my lists with more energy. I have two possible plans for Sunday after yoga which is so nice, and now just need to come up with something new to do next Wednesday.

My reading for my yoga work has also given me more tips for when I am at the gym, and motivating me to try and become healthier, slowly slowly.

Friday

A day off before work this evening. I know summer is going to be incredibly busy and the thought of it is a little overwhelming so I am trying to ease my body down. I felt really tired today but I think its due to my body clock changing.

I started listening to a new audio book 'above life's turmoil: James Allen' out of curiosity and in an attempt to read more, and it ended up linking to my dissertation and took a step towards what I needed to do. I feel calm about my last module, and know on the coach back to London next weekend I can get the most of it done.

Work started REALLY SLOW but I ended up learning to free pour which I have always wanted to do so I left really happy.

The night ended by going for some staff drinks. We went to a cute little bar and it was sweet just to be out with new people and getting to know everyone.

Saturday

I could not get up very early today, but felt just as normal as after any other shift- which was nice to think that I had gone out.

During the day I went through my dail lists and had a dance around my living room spontaneoulsy. This is happening more and more often and I am really glad about that.

Work started quiet, and I got a short break as well where I found a new favourite French artist- a female- Marwa Lous. I ave just been in a great mood today and am trying to savour every moment of it.

I continued working on the bar and I am very slowly getting the flow of it again. Its a massive memory game of what gin goes with which garnishes and tonics, and I feel great to be working again

Sunday

Its SUNDAY and I remembered to get up for YOGA. Once out the house I am fine, so I need to get into a good routine of getting out of bed as soon as my alarm goes off.

We had added poses to yoga today and balancing drills which was nice to switch up and then I had my mate PT me doing a leg day.

I did exersises in the gym that I always thought were scary and they weren't. Relying fully on free weights- meaning I have more routines for next years gym sessions.

It was so nice to have a mate there to push me in a different way and to develop my cardio outside of dancing, I really felt it. I am so proud of my morning.

The rest of the day will be spent with emails and self-development.
