"How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?" – Unknown

Aloha! Its Saturday. Yae! Made it to the wknd! So where shall I start? Ah last I left off we were heading over to Barnes and Noble to check out Bikrams new book at his book signing instead of having an evening yoga class and lecture. So all 315 of us head on over there, what a scene in this small bookstore there. It was so fun to see everyone dressed and in normal clothes! All we have ever real seen each other in is yoga class and dripping wet looking our worst! Ha.
I think we all had an idea, or at least I did, that I would be in and out of there in maybe 2 hrs and have free time in the evening for a nice change. Hmm nah not so lucky! Bikram gave his speech and than the line to book signing was so unorganized. They gave everyone red tickets with numbers and than decided not to use them, and than reinstated them, and than stopped calling numbers. It was a mess but aye we are yogis and what can you do but just breath and take off for an hr to go shopping till the line thins out! Ha.
The book signing was a great break in the week from a late night lecture and it was an opportunity to meet other people at the training. That was a lot of fun! Of course I havent worn green except for on the wknds and decided to wear my arm green capris, I get called out by one of the staff helpers on my way towards the front of the line. Aye. Meanwhile I see girls still wearing green tops at yoga class when Bikram teaches! Figures the one time I am like, they wont notice and it doesnt look so green. My mistake. Anyhoo got out of Barnes and Noble at 10pm. So much for having a free evening. Crashed pretty soon after getting home that night.

Next mornings yoga was tough! Tough bcs my body was aching I suppose from having that one yoga class off. So stiff. Also the evening before while we were at the book signing they were getting more heaters installed for us in the yoga room bcs it still hasnt been hot enough. I mean I am fine with the way it is :) . Have been doing great in class bcs of it. Its very warm and def humid but not excrutiating hot. Well dont worry they are tweaking that so we will be suffering now!

Last nights class was my first real tough challening class. I was so tired after lecture and overwhelmed myself a little thinking about studying and the postures. I started class ok but the heat cranked up hotter and I started having trouble breathing. Instead of relaxing I guess I freaked myself out and my throat and chest got tighter. Layed down but it didnt really help and just all the emotions spun in my head at the same time and I got more frustrated with myself that all this was happening right now. I kept thinking I need to get out of here! I need fresh air. When I sat up I was dizzy and it freaked me out more. Aye. I walked to the back of the room and Luke, one of the yoga staff, luckily calmed me a bit. Gave me the rest of his water and kept saying breath breath, tears were coming out of my eyes. I never really believed that something so intense could hit you during a class. I just wanted to start crying. It was a mix of so many things in my body. I was able to keep breathing and sniffle and tear and than finished up back at my mat with Blowing in Firm. After class I got out of there and ssat and cried a little and calmed down and just tried to let it all pass. Woah! I am sure that will happen again at some point in training, but man give me a warning next time will yuh body. :) Scary feeling not knowing how or why all this stuff was happening. Exhaustion, overworked, and cleansing the body in the postures can do that. Anyhoo todays Sat. morning class was real good so I am feeling much better! I know their will be all types of situations that arise and I just have to take them in and let them move on like waves in the ocean.

Was gonna lay out at the beach today but the clouds are keeping the sun away too long for my liking. Got some laundry done and am gonna study for Mondays Anatomy test, maybe paint my tonenails a fun banana yellow color too! I am obsessed I know but it'll look fun with the little bit of tan I finally have. Have to check out the ABC Stores here and see if they have nail polish. These stores are the best, they are on every corner around and open pretty late. Its a mini convenience store. And if I spend at least a $100 there before I leave I can get a free coffee mug or calendar! hahaha. Sad thing is I am actually holding on to my receipts. More for the fun of it though I swear.

Oh I saw a rainbow from our balcony the other day!! So beautiful!! I took a picture of it to share with everyone. I love the weather here its just so perfect. Randomly during the day you may feel a couple of light light drops of rain, almost like a tiny pins and needles feeling on your skin and than its gone. Than theirs a rainbow.

Every Friday evening the hotel has fireworks for 15 mins. on the beach at sunset. We forgot last night and actually were out of class too but wouldnt of been able to make it down 17 floors in time. Elevators are too slow. Maybe next week! On our balcony we are able to see the reflection of the fireworks on the bldg. right across the street from us. Haha.

Spam Jam is today! Yesss. Haha. Cant wait to check out this scene. Its from 4-11pm. Will stop by for a couple hrs and def take pictures. Than gotta head back and study study sleep sleep!
Posture clinic starts Monday. Training is about to be kicked up big time!! Craig told us we will get to the point of reciting 2 postures a day and sometimes even 3! A whole lot of studying needs to be done!!! Ah! Have a great wknd! * Sarah
