Please excuse the lack of amusing posts lately. I'm just frustrated at the fact that I've been trying to learn the change foot spin for a month now, and still haven't shown any progress with it. Sifu has been scaring me with stories of other skaters taking a year just to learn it, while other skaters have confirmed that it took them months. It did take me three months to learn the one foot spin, but still! I just wanna get this over with so I can move on with my imperial life! >.<
Anyway, last night the Head Imperial Chauffeur and I went out for coffee, where I entertained him by making mean and nasty comments about all those infidel mortals who refuse to bow to my imperial rule. Whenever I do that, though, I end up taking a nasty fall the next time I go skating.
So this afternoon, I ended up doing just that. I was getting frustrated trying to learn the change foot spin, while sifu was equally frustrated trying to spin me around (literally - he was swinging my arm and leaving me spinning like a top) when I finally got it... for like two rotations then I lost my balance and fell hard on my bum.
I really hate having to leave the rink without feeling like I accomplished anything. It feels like a total waste of (expensive) ice time, but at the same time I can't force my divine but mortal body to continue skating if it was dead tired.
Oh well. I'm chucking this up to exhaustion, and a slight emotional imbalance in my otherwise perfect imperial life.
Signed,
Her Imperial Majesty
