9/9/12 - Mr. Taxi Day 2: Back on Track

This morning I woke up with my back hurting slightly.  It’s not bad but I hope it doesn’t get worse.  I don’t really think there was anything to strenuous in what I learned yesterday, so I don’t know where this came from.

So today went a lot better.  I did remember pretty much everything and I did not want to stop, but I had to because I had to give my friend one of my old schoolbooks and then we hung out.  I went up to 2:12, which is through the second chorus.  Again, it was rather easy, and a lot of the beginning was posing.  Seohyun’s part on her line is giving me some trouble though, so I’m going to have to practice it a lot.  I also realized that on Yoona’s line in the chorus, the first line, I had the wrong arms.  The left is supposed to go front and the right is supposed to go back, and then the switch, but I was doing the opposite, so that’s why the rest of that part felt really awkward.  I’m glad I figured that out and fixed it.  Towards the end I started doing the arm thing that Sunny does on the third “Mr. Taxi Taxi Taxi.”  It’s rather fun so I’ll probably keep doing it even though Seohyun doesn’t.  I also started looking at the dance break more to prepare for next weekend.  It doesn’t seem bad, just the first move on the “Ow!” but I’ll figure it out when I get to it.  I’m hoping to finish it next weekend.  The slow part after the dance break doesn’t look bad either and I know most of the last chorus.

I ran through Sexy, Free, and Single once, without going on the floor of course.  That muscle is pretty much healed and I don’t want to reinjure it anytime soon.  I remembered most of it, which is not what I wanted, but I ran through the parts that I messed up again and I got them.  I should definitely keep practicing it every week since I only just learned it, and I should also keep practicing Don’t Don and Opera as well.  I hadn’t watched those enough to have had the dance in my head before I tried them, and I hadn’t practiced them much since I finished them, though I was still doing Opera into July.  They’re still shaky, so the only way they’ll get better is if I keep practicing.  I hope to have them down as well as Gee someday! Hopefully I’ll have time to run through all three even just once each day this weekend in between studying and paperwork.  We shall see~
