elanya at 03:54am on 23/07/2002I'm all shimmied out tonight. I've had a very active day... well, to a point.
I woke up this morning, and I had mail that necessitated an hour and half of running around downtown for various stuff. It does mean that I might get money, though, from the government, due to mom's illness...
Hem, anyway, after that, I took a little nap, and then I went to dance class with Mary. Did I mention that all I'd eaten all day was two pieces of toast? ;p Anyway, class was really intense today, I thought. Probably the humidity didn't help. It wasn't warm out, but we're so high up that it is like living in a cloud sometimes. And I was having a really good shimmy night! So when we were doing simple things in the first class, like hip drops, I was throwing in shimmies because I could! Go me! It was tiring though. I was glad to have water, even if the bottled water they sell there is crap.
And then came the second class.... and we started out with a whole song of shimmying. I was actually able to keep a shimmy going that long, and to mix in some other moves with it.... but again, it was very tiring. Then we worked on Arabesque, which I've just about got down now, go me! ^-^ I think that it is my favourite dance. And then! Oh, it was delightful... We did improvisation! And after that... FLOOR WORK! Oh it was divine! I love floor work and improvisation. I'm horribly out of practice at the floor stuff though. No backbends for me. :/
And next week they are doing veils! I say 'they' because I'm going to be on excavation by then.... It figures. My classes start to get really cool, and I can't go anymore. It is the same wwith the advanced classes. My Wednesdays are free now, because Hugh's changeling game ended last week... But I can only go for one week, and then miss three. Ahh welll. Win some, lose some, I guess. They'll be here when I'm back from Whitton, after all...
Anyway, the consequences of all this are that I'm really tired, and that I haven't done any work on my dissertation. If I hadn't promised Hazel an IC, I'd have been in bed by one or two, I think. As it is, I'm not here for much longer at all...
