Flipping Fun

Mar. 19th, 2009 at 07:19 pm

It was fortunate that I made lunch plans with Vanessa, or else I would not have got out of bed yesterday. After making curry, I left campus to shut myself in Senate House Library off of Russell Square, despite the glorious day and texts to go play in a park again. I managed to get through another book for my paper and take out six more for reference, which was very productive, and had time for a very light dinner before meeting up with Damien, Paul and Hassan to go to an acrobatics gym.

The acrobatics gym was actually really cool- aside from our friend Steph and me, there were only three other girls, and the rest were all guys breakdancing, flipping, doing the rings, and jumping into huge foam pits. I started learning how to do a front flip- I can do one, but I land on my butt rather than my feet- and showed up all of our friends with toe touches and splits on the trampoline. We also invented a fun game of foam fencing on the balance beam, which was pretty awesome.

After leaving the gym, we went next door to Asda and bought ice cream and donuts (as a reward for the workout, of course) and then headed back to campus before watching Labyrinth and falling asleep.

I woke up so sore this morning from the gym yesterday- a combination of the flips and a certain toe-touch for which I was a bit too airborne. I had lots of running from class to top up my phone to lunch to class, and then a phone interview with UNUM. Maybe I'll have better luck with the underwriting position than the actuarial.

I did a bit more work, and then Ha came over again, so we made dinner, and now I am about to get ready to go to a Masquerade at Drapers with my friends.
