Good Experience

Last night I did community service up at the school for a few hours; giving full body massages. I had a really good experience. I was able to work on three clients. The first lady said, after her massage, that she'd never had a massage by a man before and now she prefers that and wanted to schedule another appointment with me. That was pretty cool and I felt good about that. The next client was a man that works out pretty regularly because he was pretty buff. On my evaluation he said that the pressure was great! That's something I've been working on because with males they tend to like the deeper massages and I'm working on getting stronger and being able to dig into the muscles when needed. My last client was a little 75 year old Asian lady (thank goodness because I was worn out after the man before!). She was really sweet! She only wanted her back, shoulders, and arms massaged. For a FULL HOUR people! It's amazing how many different strokes you can make up when you are working on the same areas for an hour! Haha! That was the most people I've done in a row like that so I was worn out afterwards but I felt really good, too. It's cool to help people feel better!

It's Freaking April!

Good, lord! It's April already? What the crap?!

Anyway, here's the latest news with my fun and exciting life. I went skydiving, bungee jumping, deep sea diving, and climbed a glacier last week...oh, wait, that wasn't me. That was my evil twin, Skippy. I actually have just been going to school (a lot), working (a good amount), and playing WoW and D&D (a little). Not much new, huh? Yeah, I know.

We started our Bones class at school a couple weeks ago and it's kicking my butt. It's very interesting but there's just lots of stuff to learn and retaining that information has been difficult for me. I'm finding that I have to go over and over stuff every day just to keep it in my skull; which consists of the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, maxilla, etc. bones. Ha ha! It's wild too because I'm learning the different little grooves and sticking-out-thingys (processes) on the bones where the muscles attach. Our quiz on Thursday is going to be over the spine. Yeah, it's cool.

Our next class after Bones will be Muscles. Tomorrow night we start going more into ROM (Range of Motion) which we've learned but haven't done it on other people yet. I'm doing community service tonight; giving massages to the public. It's done at the school. I've got a full body massage at 4:30, 6:00, and 7:30. Coolio.

Christin's brother, Brent, is getting married to his fiance, Tammy; probably June 18. So we'll get to take a trip to L.A. which will be fun.

There's a gal in my class, Jill K., that is a body builder. She could literally kick my freakin' butt! Here's a picture of her:

Like I said..."kick my butt!" But she's really cool. Christin met with her and they are working on Christin's metabolism right now and she's got a workout routine that she's been doing for the last two weeks. Christin wants to buff up. Not as much as Jill but maybe do a figure competition some day. Rad! Guess I have to start working out again...dang it! : )
