The Double Post
1. Intramurals
So the flag football team needed another player so naturally I volunteered. Not because I'm good at football but because I like to think that I'm a team player. Needless to say we did not win the game but rather we forfeited by the mercy rule. I did touch the ball a couple of times though. However it was only when throwing the ball back to the line of scrimmage at the end of play. Actually even this didn't go entirely smoothly. After one play I threw the ball back and clocked my own teammate on the head. I have hopes that next week's game will be better however.
2. Breakdancing
Being the diverse person that I am I decided that it was only logical to sign up for breakdancing lessons. Luckily for me Georgia Tech has this great organization that puts on great events for the student body and a semester long breakdancing class was just one of those great events. After liking their Facebook page because I was like "this is a pretty stand-up organization" (https://www.facebook.com/GTSCPC) I prepared myself for what would be my first breakdancing lesson. Right from the beginning when we stretched I knew this would be difficult. I couldn't even do half of the stretches.
After 15 minutes of stretching I was already completely exhausted and we hadn't even started dancing. We got into the first lesson, the toprock, which I picked up with relative ease as it's basically a glorified two-step. After the tutorial we got into a large circle and started going around where each person did the move alone in the center. I was like "I got this" but the instructor stopped right before it was my turn to go so I was like "thank god. I actually didn't have it at all." Unfortunately for me he was saving the second half of the class to demonstrate the floorwork we were about to learn.
Thus the class transitioned into the 6-step which is a fairly basic move yet I still had no idea what I was doing. I was just dreading the moment when the instructor brought us back into the circle. It eventually happened and I was the first person called upon to demonstrate the 6-step in the middle of the circle. Unfortunately in the same way I don't have a six-pack but rather have a solid 3-4 pack, I couldn't do the 6-step but could only do a solid 3-step. Naturally I did the first step and just started rolling around on the floor. I think it's called interpretive dance.
Can't wait for next week though. It was pretty fun.
