The world lost another amazing artist to cancer at the age of 69-- Alan Rickman. He played a great bad guy in Die Hard and funny bad guy in Robin Hood, but the best bad guy he played wasn't really a bad guy but a complicated guy; Snape, of course (see Snape's most important scenes below). I liked Alan Rickman before Harry Potter, Love Actually helped seal the deal. As the Harry Potter movies continued, Alan Rickman just kept getting better and making Snape more lovable. I got home late this evening and Monika told me to watch CBGB (2013) with Alan Rickman. It was a nice way to end the evening celebrating one of my favorite actors.
Okay, so that was the bad news. The good news today was... I AM GOING TO INDIA THIS SUMMER!! A girl friend of mine let me know of a scholarship that the UW offers to educators. I applied for it on the day it was due and asked my principal to send in a recommendation. I have to admit the recommendation made me look a whole lot better than my application. I got an email today congratulating me. This summer is going to be crazy! CUBA AND INDIA... here I come.
So Balt got me up at 4:30am this morning and I finally made it to a 6am yoga class! I was quite surprised at how crowded it was. I guess there's a solid crowd who get up early to do yoga. The fact it was almost 20 degrees made it not so painful to leave the house. I have to admit the early yoga experience was different. I sweat in different places and felt different, but it was a great experience. I'm not sure I'm ready to do yoga so early every day, but once or twice a week during this challenge won't be so bad.
My day at school was a bit crazy. There's so much to do. I took Balt to daycare and stayed late working on the yearbook with kids. Next week is catch up week.
