god i fucking hate college

#it's not like the teachers are bad it's not like i hate my classmates! it's just so so exhausting and for what #they have four classes a day 2hr*1 and 1.5hr*3 #we have to reach at 7am i usually go by the public bus which is either at 6:27am or 7:02am so obviously i hate 6:27 #and the bus stop is a 6 minute walk and on the other side of the road! the bus station is also liks a 10min walk from college! #which SOUNDS less but im a pretty fast walker so 300m+700m in the morning itself not counting the four flights of stairs! at 6:40am! #AND these bitches have the audacity to keep four classes a day out of which 2 are revision or doubt solving classes #but of course it's been two weeks since school so they're still not giving much work! it's only coaching! and it fucking sucks!!!! #because we haven't studied as much yet that we'll be stuck with doubts so without a question we waste a period or two just doing #ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING #it's so so exhausting i hate it #and where i live they do call jr year and sr year of school as jr college but there's nothing collegey about it except the no dress code #so they don't let you leave the campus early😃😃 it's so fucking tiring i want to scream in their face what are they thinking #don't keep doubts sessions so early on in the year for the love of god #delete later

Easing Back Into Dance Classes

I am out. of. shape. When I try to dance, I feel completely stiff, weak, and out of control. It’s fine, there’s been a pandemic, everyone’s out of shape. The only direction I can go from here is up!

I’d like to work up to dancing 6-10 hours a week, between taking class and practicing at home. Most of my practice will be ballet, but I’ll practice jazz, modern, improv, and maybe a bit of tap, too. Those will be supplemented with focused practice sessions, workouts, deep stretching sessions, and running.

Here’s how I’ll go from sedentary to ^that^ over the coming weeks.

Week 1: One hour of ballet.

Weeks 2-3: Two hours of practice per week, either two 1hr ballet classes, a 1.5hr ballet class and a 30min workout/stretch, or a 2hr ballet class

Weeks 4-6: Three hours of practice per week broken up between ballet, working out/stretching, and focused practice. Must practice at least two separate days per week. Run once a week.

Weeks 7-10: Four hours of practice per week. At least two hours must be ballet. One hour maximum can be a supplemental dance style if desired. Must practice at least two separate days per week. Run twice a week.

Weeks 11-15: Five hours of practice per week. At least three must be ballet. At least 30min must be a supplemental dance style. Must practice at least three separate days per week. Run three times per week.

Week 16+: Six or more hours of practice per week. At least three must be ballet, at least one must be supplemental dance styles. Must practice at least three separate days per week. Run three times per week.

One week of one hour, two weeks of two hours, three weeks of three hours, etc. On this schedule, I’ll be up to dancing six hours per week by the end of February, and I’ll have almost a whole year to maintain and grow from there.

Yay dance!
