Journal 118

(Good Lord, I haven't written for THREE DAYS!? This is not about to get any better… It's 4:10 AM. I have to be up in 3 hours. For finals. One of which, I didn't study for. At least I have the lunch break. Oh, God help me…)

I was late to class this morning, because I was being handy… I had pants that needed to be mended!! I wan't *too* late, though…

Classes ran long today, as we had our lengthened dance class… And the surprises for our "performance" just keep coming! Jessica was supposed to do a solo at the beginning of the, "Russian Waltz" piece -- but when she came in today, she'd hurt a muscle at one of her dance classes the night before! She could barely walk, let alone dance. So now… Irina wants me to do something I do not…. Which is to say, the solo Jessica was supposed to do.

I HATE, absolutely HATE having things like this sprung on me, because I don't ever want to do a performance where I look bad. This is going to be one of those performances. On the other hand, I couldn't just tell her, "No." I owe Irina everything when it comes to my actual dancing in Moscow. If it weren't for her, I'd never have found nor gotten into the studio that I'm in now. And so… I'm doing the solo…

I went to practice for a bit today, and after practice, actually wound up walking with Galya, to her and her family's place! It was pretty fun. I asked her about the music in the studio -- she said she and her brother can help me out with it! What great news!

I went out with the Marines this night -- stayed out until 4:30, which is a good part of the morning, too, I suppose. It didn't end there, however!!! I had some work to do, so I marched myself to the Coffee House, had Ice Cream at 4:30, and their amazing Hot Chocolate at 7!!!
