Hello from BikramLand!

There is a cold making the rounds, and it is trying to get me....so I am gulping Vit C and trying to sleep more......studying the dialogue takes a lot of time but I am not actually suffering as much as some.....and I can see that I will get it eventually....I am just really out of practice with memorization.

The drama continues with the other pupils....so many are just lovely people.....wide range of ages (though clearly I am on the old end and there are no so many of us...but I am far from being the oldest!) and a wide range of cultures.......we have a couple of medical doctors, folks fresh out of college, insurance salesmen, coaches, lots of massage therapists....you name it. Lots of tattoos....tattoos in places I would never have considered...tattoos of every shape and description...lots of truly beautiful people.....I am amazed and fascinated by my classmates. I love to watch them.

Bikram himself is such a character....he so clearly loves his job......loves it. Loves to shock people. I am glad when he is out of town because we get more sleep. I am glad when he is here because he is a hoot....teaches a great class....and musing on his lecture materials is interesting.

I am completely aware that nobody here in any position of power has any interest in my opinion...and that's really rather restful. I just come to class, do the yoga, study for the ridiculous anatomy tests and glean everything I can from the experience.

This week I seem to be doing better with the dizziness, and feel just plain happy to be here.

Got to go catch some sleep now and give my roomate her turn at the internet connection.

Take care

Pamela
