Well, I am ready to head to the airport for my Junior III teaching retake. I feel ready. I have not recently experienced parental loss or burying ashes of said parent, nor have I experience a Title IX situation in my workplace that came to a head over the summer. I have not spent the last two months doing the written exam and I don't have to do the demonstrated practice.
I have been focused on writing the book, but that is just one thing other than this.
I am bummed about my knee situation, but I have learned a lot as a result and who knows maybe I'll have four people with knee problems again.......
So mentally and emotionally my frame of mind is much better. Right now, I am actually excited to go in there and teach. I know I know how to teach the poses and have things to share about them so as much as possible I am looking at this as "just" another class for me to be my dynamic philosophical awesome self.
I have new dansco clogs, a mani pedi, a cute outfit and my watch with new battery. I have hair bands to put my fashionable but not really Iyengar approved hair back, it flops in my face like a muppet (I've seen the videos). And Nichole reminded me about the envelopes (I forgot that last time and it did stress me out having to find envelopes and stamps at the hotel). It is good to have an assessment buddy. Pauline and I did Junior 1 together. Tedra and I did Junior 2 (which was really great because she had been to Lois' many times and just was an awesome tour guide.
Junior 3 I knew Rosa and Ann but I wouldn't really say I had the feeling of I'm there taking the test with a buddy.
Junior 3 two. Nichole.
Anyway, I'm taking Don Gura's advice at Junior 1 and staying off Social Media. Well, I'll probably read but won't comment or post. so this will be my last post until after the test.
