I love how I didn't go to sleep until 4 AM yesterday… And *still* woke up before 8. = @_@ =

I was sore, like I'd thought, but that hour of stretching I set myself to once I got home did wonders to help *keep* me from being *much* more sore. Thank goodness for small favors.

It's been a quiet, slow day so far. I'm still so excited to go back for my next lesson that I don't want to do *anything* but watch the clock keep moving, until it's time to go!! Actually, I'd really love to call some friends or family, but it's still REALLY early, on Saturday at home… And nobody would appreciate a 7 AM phone call, I don't think!!

I *should* be studying… *laughs* But I just can't bring myself to do it… That'll be tomorrow, for sure. But! Feel better! My dance notebook for here in Russia is going to have a, "New Words" section before all the notes!! (Which I'm writing in English… Ha ha ha! -- I still have to use the Russian in-lesson, so I'll be learning!)

*****

An a slightly random, but still dance-related note, I really do have one negative about the family I'm with now. Still related to the, "They go to bed REALLY early," bit -- I finally asked Olga today if it would be OK or not for me to shower when I get home from dance -- because I REALLY want to/need to shower when I come home. (All that, "shower after you work out, because it's bad for your skin not to do so," and "I don't want to get my bed dirty!" stuff…)

Unfortunately, because Polina sleeps out in the living room, Olga said she didn't want me taking showers when I get home (as late as I do sometimes). Granted, I hadn't been taking showers when I get home for that very reason. But still, ugh! I was hoping she'd have said it was ok. I can't make the lessons/practices any earlier - and the studio is an hour's trip, no matter how you look at it. (And I imagine it'll be longer now, if I do start making the effort to get to know people.) So, I don't imagine I'm really ever going to get home "early" enough for a shower to be ok. … I miss being able to shower past 10 PM!!! (… And even 10 is probably too late! XD )

*****

I'll be leaving in an hour and a half -- so I'll probably start getting my bag packed and doing my make up. If that process goes like it did yesterday, I'm gonna need all that time, not to mess anything up! *laughs*

Love,
