Leela Kempinski

I cant believe what just happened for y final assignment which is due on 18th December by 11 pm.
I am away in my country, I had internet working, and I was good to go.
I left the bits and pieces to check for the last minute.
But unfortunately, which is very likey to happen with me. My internwt stopped working, it was late night and I had to find a place to fix my last minute errors.
The only option I found was to go and sit in the coffee shop, of the great Leela Kempinski, a 7 start  to finish my pending work.
Fianlly I did finish it , ..wooo hoo what a relief.

Good Going

Woohooo, 8 more days

Ohk, ..... I know I can


Its just 8 more days,..... I will take it positively.

And after 8 days, on the 10th day I will be travelling. It is going to be so much fun, ... so much more to do. I will be away from work, from paper writing.

I will get time to sleep, will stay up all night not doing my paper. But spending some time with friends and family.

Going for movies, watching Tv., oh cant wait for it. . . sounds nice and calming. . .

And then in few days it is going to be christmas. Looking forward to it.


My Idle Dance Class


“Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.
Henry David Thoreau 

The clearer one is about ones own views and beliefs, the happier and successful will one lead his life. To begin with my belief is just an assumption of how I would expect to lead my life, or even expect the world to lead. My belief is if you think you can, you will. If you think you cant, you just need to try a little harder.
I am a strong and a firm believer of believing I can. My values could help me change my outlook, method or technique in terms of getting closer to my belief.
Marden very rightly said “how much our thoughts influences the outcomes of our life”
The basic principles of my dance class would be having a clear class concept, with cohesive, and logical progression. Being able to present the assessable content to the class.
Preparing the class to be aware of their space and surroundings. A lot depends on the way the body moves in or within the space provided. As a teacher it is my duty to make sure that the space provided is clean and safe. Also, do want to remember to be visible to all my students, therefore even if needing to face different sides/walls of the class.
Having a constant growth and progress in the class, a clear development. Therefore having me to focus on the time and the class structure. I do not wish to rush through any of my lesson or even take my sweet time and therefore have no progression. Along with keeping the time of the class in my mind, I am also working on having to create a required tempo and beat, which means to dance on time. To feel the clock through dance moves.
Not only to grow with class progression, but also build up relationships with the other fellow classmates and the teacher/instructor. To shape up be more understanding and less judgmental. Learning to be more appreciative and respectful.
Discovering one-self. Stages in our life when we not really know how and what is right for us. Dance plays and important role there, in helping us to discover our-self, and knowing more and hence making us closer to our body. Consequently helping us to know the needs of what our body wants? Dance in my class would not be a constant conquest but an achievement towards development and strengthening.
The dance class would have enough practice time, for the exercise and to rehearsal. This is so that the class does not feel rushed through. If needed the lesson will also be adjusted and adapted for special students. This is not to lesson their challenge but instead to make more room for them to cover the task. Special guidance and assistance would also be taken in consideration by the para-professionals in needed.
Finally the class is complete providing the students with positive and corrective feedbacks. Making sure that no child is left behind (NCLB)*** and felt as secure as any other student in the class.



Why Cant I

Here I am in struggling, between getting some sleep, at the same time trying to get some work done.
So much that I want these 8 days to just vanish, as a matter of fact they are,..... but with them disappearing I also have the time slipping out of my fist. With the clock striking at every minute, I keep realizing the amount of work that is pending, and the pressure of work is pheww.

I so wanted to get my doctorate, but I feel I just have to take a step back,... cant go for another studying spree which will last for a good 4 years. May be, I do but definitely not now.


So fingers cross on my finals this week, I hope to do better. .... ....
