allekhaOr at least it is on dictionary.com. So, some happy things:
・Last weekend, my coach had me do back crossovers... and for the second time in a row, he didn't have any corrections for me. It's going to happen eventually, I know, but for now I'm happy that they've apparently come along well even though I don't practice them that much. R took video for me earlier this week, so I know there are still aspects to work on sometime.
・Still having trouble with mohawk turns, but we made a lot of progress on them this week.
・I discovered that one piece of Yuri on Ice background music is almost the right BPM for the rhythm blues pattern dance, and besides being pretty, is very very simple with very obvious timing. Hearing the beat has been difficult for us, so I converted it to the right BPM and we will try to practice with it.
・Free skating time at the university starts next week! Only two hours a week but I can use at least one of them! The other nearby rink is opening!
・For Halloween, Z and I watched an episode of Goosebumps, which I had missed entirely as a child despite liking the books. It is very bad. We ate baklava my mom sent me as a present instead of having Halloween candy. I have the rest sitting in my freezer and have managed not to nom all of it in two days despite the temptation.
・I am slowly picking the last of my eggplants. We got another warm spell, so the plants haven't died yet, but I think the frost will come soon. They produced a ton of fruit this year. My anise hyssop also grew a lot, and I have discovered it goes well in Assam tea.
・I managed two treats for ToT, besides my assignment, and might write a third. I received a nice FE3H fic featuring huddling for warmth, a creepy treet about a cherry tree with bodies buried beneath, and an interesting ficlet with worldbuilding and ghost jellyfish. Just started reading through the rest of the collection!
・Did some cleaning today. I should do more, but some is better than nothing. Also started a batch of yogurt after forgetting to do so for a few days now.

Date: 2019-11-08 01:51 am (UTC)R actually asked me if I could find any practice music for another dance, and while it's not as simple, another YOI song may have ended up being best option out of what I have again :) (Actually, there was one song that exactly fits the BPM we need, but I don't think Intoxicated fits with a waltz. Or that we'd be able to use it with a straight face xD)
