Lots of Work/Little Skating

It looks like I'm going to have to start getting up at 3:40am on a regular basis. I'm being scheduled to start work at 7am on most days, so my best bet for skating is the 5-6am session. There are afternoon freestyles that I theoretically make, but I usually end up staying late at work and missing them. And, the 5am freestyles are empty while the 3-5pm freestyles are full of munchkins (quite unpleasant when you're trying to fit in diagonal junior moves patterns).

Hopefully I'll be better about getting up for the early freestyles this week. I skipped a bunch last week. Tomorrow I have a lesson with Nick Perna, and I haven't skated in the last three days. I feel like such a slacker.
