Habanera may never leave my head again
Good news: My advisor... still has not read my proposal in full, but I sent him an updated version with a couple of changes he told me to make from skimming it, and he now says he's read enough of it to say it's good enough to schedule the actual proposal!!! This whole process feels glacial, but it's moving!
In more fun news: I can cross off one of my New Year's resolutions, because I can now do a very bad catchfoot spiral on my worse side :D Though on Saturday, my coach was more excited that we may have discovered the muscle I need to do back outside edges properly. I think it's the fourth or fifth muscle I've discovered through skating. Just a couple of minutes of practice made it hurt a lot a few hours later, so there's work to do there.
I would also like to thank the mother at the rink today who wasn't on the ice, but still at least tried to get her young kids to stop flopping and zooming across the center very close to where I was practicing because, as she told them, "the man might get upset". Yes, I'd be upset if I accidentally sliced a kid's face up with my skate coming out of a spin, or if they ran into me from a blind spot. I think they were young enough that they really needed more supervision, but hey, I've seen enough parents at public sessions not make any effort to corral their young kids when they're being reckless (or even bring them over to play in the center when multiple people are practicing there) so I appreciated it.
Another skating-related thing: I got bored while waiting for some code to finish running, and I started wondering how many Carmen programs there have been. One thing led to another, my analytical brain took over, and now I've got a folder full of them, a spreadsheet filled out, a Python program taking shape for some stats, and a Premiere project going. The answer (depending on how you count) is at least 93, 84 of which I could find on the internet. Having watched all of them, I think maybe there have been enough Carmen programs.

It sure sounds like there have been enough Carmen programs. ;p

I might not mind even more Carmen if so many of them weren't so cookie-cutter. Even I could probably choreograph a generic one by now with the same movements that everyone else is copy-pasting haha.
