Tai Chi
So Hank wanted to visit my work last night, so I indulged him. We ended up coming back in for the night Tai Chi class, he wanted to come in and be at a real class. Anyway he was absolutely adorable. He sat in the little circle and was totally captivated while the instructor was talking. Then when we started the warm ups he went up to the front of the class and stood facing the instructor so he could follow along. He did a really good job and even closed his eyes for a few minutes to help with his concentrating. I am absolutely loving that Hank enjoys learning about it as much as I do. He also thinks it is totally cool that the Mystic Force power rangers also meditate. Maybe I can see if he would for a few minutes. Anyway he wanted to see if our instructor could float above the water, because that is what happened on the power rangers. He was also very good which was so nice. I don't think I have ever been more proud of him then I was last night.

Classes
So it has been awhile since I posted about school....
History class is going OK. I am having a hard time with forcing myself to actually do all the readings, but we have a final exam so I am trying. I had to write a paper about 1950's music it was pretty interesting and I got to listen to some Elvis and Sinatra so that is ok.
Energy Essentials - I LOVE THIS CLASS! We have been learning how to meditate, and work on other people using the energy forces. It is totally calming and a blast. Last night we went on Shamanic Journeys which were fun. And our instructor played a drum and it was the coolest sound.
Anatomy - I am struggling this past couple of weeks in this class. Although I am having fun teaching Hank about the bones and muscles. We are now studying the Nervous and Endocrine system. My brain is having a harder time wrapping around these concepts.
Tai Chi - This is a blast. Hank also thinks it is pretty cool that I am learning how to fight.
Last night when I went to leave class my car battery was totally dead. I was lucky that one of the students was super nice, and her husband is way cool! He had given her one of those tools that starts cars, it also has a built in air compressor. Anyway we were able to hook it up to my car for just a few minutes and then bingo it started! After I drove the whole mile to my house I wanted to let it run for a little bit longer. It was a beautiful night so I practiced my Tai Chi on the grass on the side of the house. I am sure that anybody who saw me out there at eleven at night were probably thinking I was totally crazy!
