A Real Adventure

June 30. After sleeping a collective 30 minutes last night from being so excited, and being so nervous about missing my alarm I headed off to my first ever trapeze class. It took three trains and about an hour to get there, but I made it. Unfortunately, or fortunately I made it there an hour early, but either way at least I avoided my big concern of being late. We started right on time. The class was ten students, ranging in age. Most of the people had taken at least one class before, or had been doing it for years. Me and a girl were the only beginners. I wasn't worried. I'm a natural at most things I do. My first time up the ladder wasn't bad. Not sure what I was expecting. I was so caught up in the moment I wasn't listening to the guy yelling at me telling me what to do. So I fumbled a little but not bad for a first time. Then my second time I was "impressive," which included a back flip. My third time my heart was in my stomach. Got discombobulated in the air and did a trick that was totally unintended. And strained a muscle in my shoulder. My fourth time I got to do a catch with grace. My fifth time I was packing my bags getting ready to join Cirque Du Soleil. It was an amazing experience. Not necessarily a hobby I want to take up. But a great once in a lifetime opportunity/adventure. I could only upload pictures, but I have a video that I am using as my application video for Cirque Du Soleil.
