People who become fitness instructors are v. interesting. For instance, my fitness theory instructor is Legally Blonde but actually legally brunette. A movie that me and Mz. Kass very much enjoy, so the fact that she was bouncing all around and said "like" a lot didn't really bother me. I compare her to Elle because just hearing her normal chatter one would never think she is as schooled as she is. The woman has a MSc and certification up the ying-yang my friends. I can't wait to be just like her, but also chewing gum. Mouth open? Mouth closed? I haven't decided yet.
Then there are the students, my peers. I had some pleasant conversations with some of the girls in the class and what backgrounds! One woman works as a nurse and counsels teens teaching them how to have safe sex. Her clinic that she works in also does pre and post abortion counseling. I asked her lots of questions and she estimates that ~2000 abortions happen per month in Calgary with the average age of the mother being 16-17yrs. WOW. I had no idea... And their parents have no idea.
Another girl has been a chemical engineer for the past 4 years. She has overseen many projects and done lots of chemical stuff I am sure of it. She is studying to take a professional licencing exam even though she quit her fulltime engineering job and is now very much enjoying her new job as a Starbucks barista.
Everyone else is pretty boring. Oh, praise be, the stinky foot boy wore socks... but I didn't sit by him this time. Monster.
4 woot-woots!:
hahah, your fitness class sounds like a blast!
wow, that's cool. why is it that interesting people sometimes seem hard to come by? maybe we just don't always ask the right questions.
I'm glad you're enjoying your learning and finding fun moments to make it great. I love doing that too. Isn't/aren't human interactions just fascinating! Love the updates keep them coming...
That sounds like so much fun, Patience! I want to come to one of your classes when you're an instructor! :) PS I've been pondering a detox week/weekend and wanted to know what you'd recommend--since you're an expert in that area. Let me know what you do to detox! ;) Love ya, Sassy J
