Dear diary, this week I learned about staying positive and fighting the urge to be a sulky brat when I don't pick things up as fast as I would like to.
Tash got back from a week-and-a-half in China last week, but when we got back to practising it felt like it had been longer since we had danced together.
I'm a fairly impatient guy, I want to be able to do things straight away. I'd also had a tough week outside of dancing, so wasn't in a great head space to begin with. So, when I found I wasn't remembering the steps we had learned as well as I thought I would, I started letting my head drop and at one stage was bordering on tantrum territory.
Luckily for me I have been partnered with one of the most positive women I've ever met and afterwards Tash gave me a good talking to and made sure I was in a more positive mind frame - a timely reminder that sulking won't help either of us. I also have to give our instructors Troy and Shelley a shout out for putting up with me.
In other news, we had our photoshoots for our billboards and other advertising on Wednesday. It's quite a daunting feeling having your photo taken and knowing it is going to be plastered on a billboard somewhere. But, we got into character and the photographer Tracey Robinson did an amazing job of explaining how she wanted us to pose.
