Journal 121

(Note: It's definitely the 29th of May as I write these last few days of my time in Moscow. That's so bad…. Ha ha ha. Sitting in the Atlanta, GA airport, waiting to get back to Indiana after 4 days in Florida, after 4 days in Indiana [but only 2 of those were at home home] and 15 hours in the DC Area. This "Vacation" is anything but!!!)
Today was the last day of school!!! … I'm not actually excited about that. *laughs* I love my classes and my teachers!! We had the last of our final exams, and that was it.
We also had another extended dance class. As I mentioned the last time I talked about our little, "Show" that we have to put on, one of the girls got hurt, and so now Irina is having me dance some little improv, solo bit at the start of one of the dances. I don't want to do it, but I feel like I owe her, so I'm putting on a grin and bearing it. Eugh.

In other news, I'm finally starting to think about packing and getting home… About time, too, with only 2 days left before we leave!!
I stopped by the Embassy this afternoon, because I was going to go buy Professor Supik's present today, and I thought it would be nice to go with company, so I waited for Mulzoff to finish some things up. Unfortunately, by the time he'd finished what he had going on, there was a DELUGE coming down outside!!! Because I was going to buy Supik a drawn caricature of two characters from a movie he had shown us, there was absolutely no way I could have gone out to get it in the rain.
By the time I was leaving, the rain was still coming down, and a veritable *river* of water had formed outside of the Embassy!!!
I had no umbrella that day, as the weather had been nice in the morning, so Mulzoff gave me one of his hoods, at least to have another layer between the rain and myself, and I trudged out into the storm. … Immediately getting soaked up to the ankles, because so much water was rushing down the hill!!!

I went to practice, although I knew I was going to be miserable, changing back into cold, wet clothes, from my sweaty ones; but even changing was essentially pointless! I just couldn't practice today. I was too stressed out. Too worried. It was an AWFUL night. Not helped in any small part by my having had yet another "not-helpful" conversation with Alëna. I love her to death, but she's flat out brutal sometimes!
All that, AND soaked shoes [still wet enough to squeak and squish out water] on the way home. No fun at all.
