I had class today -- chatted with friends online in the middle of classes. That was nice. Having the moral support is nice.

I tried to go and buy, "Le Petit Prince" (in Russian) again, but, no luck… Seems that the one I bought that Vitaly stole was the only one in the store… Ha ha ha ha…. I have to wait for them to get another one in, I guess…

*****

A little big of a bright spot today though -- I went to the hustle lessons that Olga had told me about last week, and helped Maxim to teach some!

These lessons are a really interesting, and fun opportunity for me on many levels:

1. I get to be around "dance lesson" terminology -- hearing names of body parts, directions, etc.

2. I get to practice myself, when I'm being used as a live mannequin.

3. I am getting to learn the Lead part for hustle (Moscow Style!) -- and getting to practice it, because there are extra girls I need to dance with. (Part of the helping teach thing.)

4. I get to get all of the above, for free!!!

5. Apparently they're going to pay me a little bit of money? (300 rubles -- about 9 USD)

6. Apparently, we also get into the hustle party for free now? (Add on another 150 rubles -- about 4 USD)

I feel like I"m getting WAY more out of this deal than they are… =^__^= '' They wanted me to come Tuesday and Friday, but I have ballroom every other day of the week, so I really can't. I'd miss out on my practice time if I went the second day.

The party was fun too -- good music, as always, and of course, dancing with Maxim is always great!

But now, I'm dog tired, so it's time to hit the hay. Haven't had the chance to study yet for the vocab test tomorrow in Razvitie Rechi… Eek.
