Had to bus today. Wasn't TOO bad. Very strange though... after 7 months of ignoring me SOMEONE decided to start talking to me again! I was walking to the door and they were going to their car and called my name. I then got a big hug and was asked how I was doing and whether I liked the workshop! We talked a little bit and about how good the workshop was and how we caught a glimpse of something like that in Korea, and it was so strange to me! As if nothing happened!! Huh... why ignore me for so long then?

I decided to wait a bit before doing Suga Pop's class, so I started out with Link's class cos I absolutely LOVE hip hop (although I think I'm more suited to watching it than doing it haha!) We did old school to a song called "I'm the Shit" by DJ Class. It was so cool! We did the ATL Geek, a move that inspired the Shamrock in popping, the Smurf, a bit of house, the TLC, Janet Jackson's Control, the Reebok, and the Guess. The names are so cool! The dance was even cooler although I totally looked like a geek who didn't know how to dance! I still can't move like that!

Then it was upstairs to Poppin Pete's class which was AWESOME as usual! I LOVE watching him freestyle! He actually pointed at random people during the class and that meant you had to freestyle until he said you could stop. I was SO scared he was going to point at me! But luckily he didn't! Although I kinda wished he did so I could try cos he said that if you can't dance in front of other people then you're not a dancer. I have to get past that fear of mine eventually! I just don't know how to freestyle though! He played different songs and had us do the same routine again and again to them so that we could feel the beat and change the dance to fit it. There's this one song that's very Asian-esque that he played yesterday and today and I love it! I TOTALLY felt the dance when he played it!

After the break I decided to give Caleaf's class one more try. It was so long! Even longer than yesterdays and it was like Kerry's first few classes of house this year but even more intense! He had us do it in groups and I totally screwed up. I thought I was going to DIE after I finished the class! I was absolutely DRENCHED! But it was such a workout and I could really feel it in my legs lol! I still don't know how he does it without breaking a sweat!

We were going to do Suga Pop's locking class next but the studio was packed so Kerry asked us if we wanted to do Link's class since Suga Pop's going to be teaching locking the rest of the conference (as well as popping). So once again Arianne, Sarrah, Jackie, and another girl from Kerry's class this year (I never got her name T_T) did Link's class. We danced to MJ's Dangerous and it was awesome! We started the class with a few basic moves though and he spent like 20 minutes on one move cos we just couldn't get it! I don't know, his moves are so intricate! We all thought we were doing it right but apparently we weren't cos even Poppin Pete was laughing at us! We couldn't see what we were doing wrong though and he finally gave up haha! Towards the end of class my foot was starting to hurt and it's now swollen. I hope it's ok! I signed up for a private with Pete tomorrow morning before the workshop! I'm at noon and Jackie's at 1pm. So excited! I got in a bit of an argument with my mom over it cos it's $250 for an hour and she couldn't understand why I was "wasting" my money. I think it's totally worth it.
