In my short time at BSOM, I have noticed a bit of a theme: former students become today's instructors. My current class is a prime example. Our instructor, Jenna, was a student at BSOM several years ago, and incidently, in the same class as my friend, who was one of the people instrumental in helping me make the decision to go to BSOM. Jenna was also one of our TA's in our first class there, and now our instructor for the class of Massage Variations. I guess it comes full circle, huh?
In Massage Variations class, We'll learn how to use different "tools" - such as forearm, elbows, knucles, fists, and I guess other stuff. We learned more about using the elbow tonight. The next four weeks should be very interesting, indeed. I may be pretty sore, as we'll be learning more about deep tissue bodywork.

Day 56 - Reunited
Guess what? We had a combined class again with Anthony leading instruction tonight. The class we have been combined with graduates next week. What are they going to do with us after that when our instructor is sick or something?
Anyway, we had our last class of Cranial Sacral before the final exam next week. We ended up by doing review for the written portion of the final and then practicing the hands-on portion during the bodywork section of the class. I was last on the table and WGH had driven home, so I'm quite relaxed after all the practicing.
One of the classmates was practicing the sacral hold that we learned in the last class, but apparently needed a little refresher on how to "get into position." My understanding is that it looked like circus tricks on the table next to me, with legs flailing in the air and what-not. Unfortunately, I was on the table and my eyes were closed and covered with a towel, so I didn't see any of this.
WGH has been riding with me occasionally to school, getting a chance to chat, which is rather lacking during the week. While I'm in class, he enjoys going to the aeroport, which is just right down the street from school, and watching the people and planes. Both are rather fascinating. Then he picks me up and we get to ride home together and catch up on what happened in class and what sort of antics we have...like circus tricks.
This weekend, I am planning on working on creating my own "spa" music - you know - the stuff that I play while I'm working on a victim...uh...I mean, client. I don't know how far I'll get, but hope to have something soon.
