This week

This week we did numerous things as usual. At the beginning of the week the teacher had us all change sides of the classroom in order to switch things up. Also the teacher herself changed her regular position in the classroom. We had an Ishmael Beah presentation of the book on Wednesday, where the presenters asked us to think of a time when we went into a situation with the best of intentions then the outcome wasn’t good. Then today, Friday, we took a “field trip” to the library and learned how to use the library for researching things in different ways. On Thursday my roommate/ best friend and I went to our first official belly dancing class where we learned the basics of hip movements and proper posture in order to not hurt our bodies’. I was very excited to be in the class and even more excited when the instructor said that she believed I’d be able to belly dance, adapting in my own way. The instructor of the class also gave us a brief presentation of what we were working towards as well as informing us of all the different benefits from learning to belly dance. Talking about all the muscles that we would learn to us and how if done properly can strengthen the back. It was all very intriguing and I look forward to going back.
