This morning we had ballet and I gave my teacher my note I had from the physio therapist saying no jumping, no grande plie and no pointe. She said that's unfortunate and to mark jumps but do the heads and the arms.
Next we had modern and right before class one of the girls from Mexico came up to me and asked what was wrong with my knee and after I told her she said, "I like your legs, they are very beautiful with extensions. Beautiful legs." It was kinda cute. Again I really enjoyed modern. Had lunch with mom (sushi and yogurt and chocolate milk) then had variations. I didn't really do much since there was a lot of jumping in that one.
She let us go 15 minutes early so I sat with Emily and we talked a bit and walked to jazz class. She asked where I go at lunch and I said I eat with mom up here and she invited me to eat lunch with her if I wanted to. When we got down to the studio we sat and everyone was talking including the teacher and another one of those Mexican girls started talking to us and asked what was wrong with my knee. Then we were talking about where we dance and what we take and if we do competitions or not. Very friendly people and there is a big group of people from Mexico staying in a hostel a couple of blocks away with their teacher.
The jazz class today was contemporary jazz and it was really nice to do that for me, I really needed that. We did that stretch where you lay on your back with you bum against the wall and you open your legs and gravity pushes on them. When I first started my toes could touch the ground when my feet were flexed and 2 of the Mexican girls said, "Holy! Her toes are touching the ground!" And after a while I had my toes on the ground when they were pointed and then they looked again and said, "Holy! Her feet are pointed and on the ground!" Then the other said, "That's why when you do those split jump thingys your legs go so high!" Hehe I love them. We did some steps across the floor and started a combo.
After class mom and I ate supper and it was pouring rain outside.
Now I don't know what I'm going to do, might go in the hot tub again unless there's lot's of people.
