Today was gloomy, both the skies and my mood. Ended up going over to Coolgers for some tea and Internet access.
Still feeling tired, frustrated and overwhelmed, I decided that my contact staff skills have stagnated for far too long. So, I went to the Home Of Poi forums and MCP’s site to see what new in the staffing world these days.
I downloaded a whole bunch of tutorial videos from MCP’s site to watch when I got back to school.
The frustration was really welling up badly now. I had to so something, and soon. Returning to school, I skipped my dorms and went straight to the Feicha & juggling studio to practice.
First I tried the Substitution Matrix. It looked simple and I’ve fluked it before, so I thought that it’d be a nice simple challenge to start with. That didn’t go according to plan.
I just wasn’t able to control the staff in the substitution.
After a while more I took a break and decided to tackle something else - the Vertical Matrix. That went surprisingly well!
Within a hour I was fluking the move. Within another 20 minutes or so, I began to feel comfortable with the move.
I’m still not even close to being consistent with the move yet, but I’ve made more progress than I expected. And I’m incredibly happy with that accomplishment.
