Edumacation

Being in the field of education, Girl-E knows that vast amounts of learning take place outside of a structured schooling environment, and meaningful learning can be life-long. For example, this weekend was quite developmentally enriching, in that she learned all of the following:

- 72% of the Earth's surface is covered in gigantic piles of snow.

- Tights and longjohns and windpants worn simultaneously provide notably better protection than longjohns and jeans.

- Contrary to popular belief, you can ski down stairs.

- Girls raised in Southern California should think very carefully before marrying boys from New England, no matter how cute they are.

- If foolish enough to marry said New England boy, girls raised in Southern California should be absolutely certain that this boy experiences some sort of inexplicably twisted joy from shovelling not only one's own sidewalk, but all the way down the street.

- Large trucks going down steep hills during a vicious snow storm can not physically stop, even if you have the green light, moron.

- No matter how beautiful it is, a snowflake in the eyeball hurts like a mother fucker.

- Yoga rules.

Yeah, it's all about the teachable moment.
I'd like to add the following:

- It's possible to forget everything you know about snow, including the entire concept of boots, if you haven't lived in it for five years. Even if you spent about 95% of your time in those five years making fun of people who have never lived in snow.

Posted by: Jess at December 8, 2003 01:31 PM

hehe...great list.

what kind of yoga are you doing? where do you take classes?

Posted by: kat at December 8, 2003 02:15 PM

I'm doing whatever I come across, trying to figure out all the kinds. Recently going to free HU classes and using a home DVD. I want to get into Power/Ashtanga, prolly going to a class in Cambridge tomorrow. That was for Kat, so all you who read this and are uninterested, shut up.

Posted by: EV at December 8, 2003 09:44 PM

hehe...yeah, shut up!

i've been trying different places here and there too, but mostly doing dvd's at home. i like the mtv yoga dvd (ashtanga) and i just got the mtv power yoga dvd in the mail (used from amazon.) I'll let you know what i think of it.

Posted by: kat at December 9, 2003 02:39 PM

Power class today was rockin'. I like my DVDs except they're a little slow (I'm completely unflexible and uncoordinated and 100% novice, but I still like to get my heartrate up). So let me know how MTV is! Do you get to do yoga to Dire Straits?

Posted by: EV at December 9, 2003 02:44 PM

Fucking snowflakes.

Posted by: cw at December 9, 2003 03:38 PM

I have some Lilias tapes myself, and I used to go to a power yoga-type class at UCSB. Lilias is like learning yoga from one's mom, which can be good or bad depending on what sort of experience you're trying to have. I find her comforting, but I think another person might just find her annoyingly slow. The class at UCSB was way more crunchy and also more of a workout, but I liked it a lot too.
