Skylar and I will be spending five months (May - October) in Heilbronn, Germany with as much additional travel as we can. Here I will post updates and pictures from our adventures.

12 Juni - Uncoordinated

Now that I have begun working on my actual project and have a general idea of what I need to accomplish, the first thing I needed to do was set up a project plan and gantt chart.  It helps me work in a timely fashion when I have a schedule to follow and set of tasks to complete.  So today I did that and constructed the outline of my project.

Skylar gets home at 14:00 on Fridays, so after a late lunch, we headed off to Stuttgart for Capoeira.  Sometimes I wonder how I can know how to do something and tell my body to do it, but I end up just flailing around or doing the complete opposite.  Something as simple as a shoulder roll can be difficult because I am so used to going over my spine to stay linear that my brain can't comprehend why it is going to the side.  I can do a front handspring, but not a cartwheel spring which only involves a simple twist.  I know much of it is muscle memory, but it is very annoying.

Part of Capoeira is singing and playing instruments... apparently I can't clap my hands to a certain beat and sing.

Later that night, I fell asleep to the sound of fireworks and music from an International Festival in town.
