April Update

So another month has gone by so that means that it’s time for my monthly update of what’s been going on in Vhazzy Land.

First off, the bad news. I heard that the information that I was given regarding the resit was wrong. Apparently I’m not sitting in August. No…I’m sitting the 17th May!! Not amused about it. Plus my hearts really not in it, so not really sure why I’m even bothering to sit the damn thing anyway (well, neither would yours if you been through the crap that I have with this whole exam). SO we’ll see what happens, although not hopeful.

This month also saw me starting to attend a local Zumba class. And I have to say that it is as much fun as it looks! I first heard of Zumba one late night on the screenshop where they were offering a package which I was really keen on getting. Instead though, I found a local class which I was really nervous about but the woman who takes it is completely mad! The great thing about the class is that no one is really paying attention to what you’re doing and you’re all just having fun as you try to work out the steps (yes, even someone with two left feet could do this!) The other great thing is that because it is as much fun, you don’t realise that the time is passing. I’d unfortunately had to miss a fortnight due to a really bad chest infection, but going back last week, I managed to get 30 minutes into the class before I had to sit out one routine. The thing was that it didn’t feel like 30 minutes. So it’s true: time flies when you’re having fun! I’d highly recommend the classes to anyone who’s looking for something a bit different from the mundane fitness classes that are out there. Plus, you’re under no pressure to do absolutely everything. You just do what you can :)

I was invited through to Edinburgh recently to see Alphabeat in concert. Now, I’d never really dabbled in the music of Alphabeat, so thanks to the wonderful Spotify, I managed to listen to most of their work before the gig so I at least had some idea of what I was letting myself in for. Supporting them was the wonderful Pearl & The Puppets (myspace.com/pearlandthepuppets) who is one of the few artists that I’ve heard that sounds identical live as they do on CD. Hopefully they’ll be successful (will hopefully be meeting them the first week in May :D) As for Alphabeat…well they were good, but by go, someone needs to sedate Anders SG! Lighting wasn’t fantastic for photos (even the professionals were complaining) but you can see some of the photos here on flickr.

On a good note, I’ve reached my target for Race For Life! There’s still time to sponsor me (the more money the better :) and it is for a good cause too). You can donate to my total by visiting my sponsor page here. Still got a few items to put up that will hopefully help raise a little bit more money. Just under a month for me to get some serious training in…you know that it’s just not going to happen, don’t you? Still, I’ve decided that on the day I’m likely to be dressing a  Pink fairy (but this will all be dependant on the weather of course and knowing Scotland, the weather can change without warning!)

Think that’s about it for me this month. Might have another post at a later date giving you an update on the PTC sites that I use and whether I’ve earned any more since the last post :p
