#dance teacher stuff

[carryhatchet]

It's crazy how the incest stuff negates any support system Cathy has. like technically she has someone offering her an out from her abusive husband but choosing that also means choosing this other terrible thing. like. she's trying to get as far away from the past abuse as she can (while still holding onto so much anger) but she's escaping into new abuse (connected to holding onto anger???) and trusting. deciding. believing that it will aid her in achieving her goals, and then she can go from there. this belief of indestructibility bc what does she have if not that??? how could she stand to keep going while stuck between these options if she didn't separate herself entirely from them. the only people offering her escapes are just asking if she'd please come get abused by them instead of the current guy and every option is still better than how she was raised

I feel like Gordon trying to teach his friends to dance would be equal parts laughs and fun and bonding and also very intimidating.

Gordon's been dancing since he could walk on two legs, less than six months old. And has been competing since he was a yearling. And professionally and getting paid since he was three. He's dialed in like that ex's number you shouldn't be calling. Absurdly skilled and it seems effortless. He's also never taught anyone to dance before. So he may accidentally be flexing on his student the whole time.

god i was so optimistic about the future in 2011. i just got brought back to that exact feeling from watching the poker face music video, and suddenly i'm back on my morning tram commute to school and it's september and my sweatpants has my school's name in gold comic sans and i have a silver flip phone with youtube on it and i'm watching lady gaga lyric videos and reading the fun parts of the newspaper about voting for the new central city redevelopment (finished in the distant year of 2028! text this number for the mini islands option!) and everything ahead feels so futuristic and there are touch screens and the apps dont have ads yet and there are a billion fun websites and obama seems cool to me and so does america and dad and i are featured in a biking magazine with our connected bikes and there are international business men on segway tours outside my bedroom window every saturday to learn about new recycling methods in my hipster neighborhood and i can't wait to see what cool stuff we'll have in ten years!!! (spoiler alert: no mini islands)

I just had the best nap ever. I also had a dream about my history teacher banning Just Dance but whatever. Still an amazing nap.

Our teachers from the big city are still soo confused with the fact that we have prom

We were discussing about what everyone is gonna wear and of course some people are a little extra and the teachers are shocked like wow you'll wear what and the whole event is such a big thing and they're like 👁👄👁say what now

And someone was like "how do you do proms in Athens?"🤨

"We don't kids. The first time I saw this happening was last year when I came here."

Like, proms aren't a thing in Greece ajajsjs

I always knew that, but when I went to high school and saw proms happening I just accepted the fact, but we're really out of the norm here😭😂

The whole country: yeah we do normal school activities like reading boo-

My school in the middle of nowhere: hey yall free for a rehearsal of waltz tomorrow?

Also to clarify-cause this sounds expensive, it's not- I'm not going to a private school or something, and we do proms in order to save money for the school trip (πενταήμερη) our parents will pay the ticket in order to get in and sit around in the tables and watch all of us dance on stage while they eat while we also have a lottery thing going on and all of is will have fun at the event I guess

Also, the waltz/bachata/traditional(λαϊκά) dances aren't like provided by the school, we found teachers who supposedly were willing to teach us for free(but ended up asking for money anyway, but it's 5€ per kid so whatever...)And we do this in our free times in weekends or during breaks at school by ourselves, (the freshmen were kinda like the fuck? When we started dancing next to the volley field, But I think they got used to it by now)

I love how certain kinds of art keep being produced digitally with justifications like "we asked how much it would cost to find artists capable of this and were told no one is insane enough to even try and it would take our entire budget if they were", and then the entire community of that art form rises up and takes it personally.

the way my jaw dropped at this bit

Thinking about what happened in the summer

Kids are... Really different when it comes to spending three weeks without their parents

Some start crying near the end of first day

Some start crying after couple of days

And some don't show anything while feeling the same

And being... I think English has a good word for that, let's go with a teacher but mix it with caretaker a little bit

I think seeing a kid cry at the end of that first day finally short circuited my brain, teens are way harder to understand that pre-teens who are literally still kids

They come around after a week, settle down and find new friends and your job stays the same mostly to be the one controlling their behavior

And then you'd have a kid crying again, because they miss home and the only thing you can really do is comfort them that they're not stuck here forever and that time flows so fast they won't notice it

And maybe they didn't. Time really did flew and they were leaving

Parents visited kids sometimes, of course, and it was so scary at first but they were mostly friendly and nice

Maybe because of that group chat that let them see that their kids are fine and are having fun

In the end for kids it was painful at first, but fun in the end. I got hugged more times than I could count when they were all leaving

And then poof

Back to your own life you go, like nothing happened
