This is exactly how I feel about geometry, music theory, and high school theatre camp contact improvisation. She is to ballet as I am to any sport that requires depth perception. Her first position is to my changement – the only ballet move I not only couldn’t do, but also closely resembled a flailing octopus on speed (to be generous).

This video is hilarious! It’s so funny because I identify with her so much, contorting into completely awkward and terribly amusing positions, just trying so darn hard with every ounce of comprehension and practice one can muster and still failing so fantastically – yup, exactly like geometry and music theory.

Go on, watch it again. You know you want to. It’s good for your heart.
