Today I had my first of three practical exams. It went very well and was more like me and Melissa practicing on each other than an exam. This week we've covered head, neck, shoulder, face, back side-lying, back face down, leg, foot, arm, hand and abdominal massage with some stretches. All in all it adds up to a 143 minute massage. It's been really tough trying to remember everything. I swear in my dreams I'm going to hear Kung (my teacher) saying "sit up please. sit down please. change hand. double thumb. no! cross thumb. other hand." I think after next week and some more practice it will seem a lot easier to remember everything. The second and third weeks will build on this and hopefully with a little practice when I get back things will go smoothly. I'm not sure how I'm going to condense it all into a 50 minute massage for work. I'm going to have to cut out things like face, some feet, legs depending on time. The stretches are the most fun to do, and one part of the legs is my absolute favorite to have done. We'll see.
Tonight I'm meeting some people from school for dinner and then we're going to a muay Thai fight. There will be dancing after. I fear that our 9am meeting time to leave for the lake tomorrow is going to be very tough. I should be getting ready. I'll report back post fight/dance.
