Still no word from Vitaly. :| This really sucks.

Found my legwarmers!!! Could not believe it!!!!

Practice --

Frustration is abounding from this lack of coaching. I feel like I'm starting to slip again. Some things start to feel good, or better -- and then they disappear. Or I have questions about how to do something, and I've been unable to address those concerns all week. = @_@ = I'm trying to just buck up and keep going, but being that I know I'm the kind of person who does best under a teacher, and does not do so well when left to my own devices, this is beginning to be a bit problematic.

On the bright side, the "group class" Spin Exercise (Rumba - Spiral, 3 step turn, 3 step turn, back rock -- repeat) is getting easier, and tonight at practice, I went through few rounds of it with no problem. Now, if I could just get *Vitaly's* exercise working on a more constant basis, I'd be in Heaven. It worked once the other night, and a few times tonight, albeit slowly -- but when I try to do it to music, I get stuck right in the middle. Which brings us back to, "I'd love to ask about this… But my coach is gone…" Argh.

Spoke with Larissa after practice.

Katya gave Sasha, Dennis (her partner), and I a lift to the Metro.

Dennis asked how things went with the Partner; also if I'd left one in the US.

Some language troubles.

"Say it in English then! I speak it well."

Dennis and I rode on the Metro together -- had the chance to chat some. (and I got to learn his name again…)

Interesting: Seems we both came to Moscow for Dance and School

Saw Nichols (who is also leaving soon!!!); Meraz; Mowery; Natasha; and Don Nachos.

*In An Affected, Trying to Catch Natasha's Attention, Voice* "Oh! Oh! It's my FIRST Girlfriend!"

Me - "Shut up! Are you TRYING to get me into trouble?!?!!?"

Fun night, in general.

"If it's not taken care of, then come find me -- I will exorcise your demons."

"Is *that* what they are calling it nowadays?! = O_o = "

Belgian Violet Candies

"Why aren't you over there, protecting your girlfriend?"

"She told me to come stand over here!"

"Do you want *me* to go protect her?"

"Yeah, ok."

(There was a drunk, drunk, drunk Russian guy imposing on Natasha. She didn't want the guys to get involved with him -- so I just came and sat between them, and doted on her.)

Enjoyed sharing food and a good conversation with Meraz. =^__^=

Breadstick Capades -- Slapped Mowery (Sorry Mowery! ... But you were asking for it!!)

Got a ride home (Thank you!!)

Music, then bed.
