the second friday

Boy, it's kinda hard to believe that the day's almost over...whenever I'm at school I feel like I just go through days without completely registering them. I mean, I feel them - the sweat of dance classes, the smiles of friends, the endless homework assignments - but it feels like so many of the actions are just like flipping the pages of a book. So predictable and monotonous in ways.
Anyways, the two weeks are almost over with our final class tomorrow morning. It's been a rather intense period of 'getting back into shape,' usually we kind of ease into our full dance schedule, but as we are on exchange, we get to sample as many classes as possible. No mercy there ;)
But we had a few interesting ones, classes I mean. One modern class we did a bunch of improvisation; the teacher often sets restrictions (move with this quality or write your name with your movement etc) but our teacher gave us some that we'd never experienced before - "much fun." We also had two 'contact improv/modern' classes over the two week period which were very kewl ('cool' just doesn't cut it ;) ). Not crazy fancy stuff, lifts etc, but more just getting familiar with responding to others moving around you and improving our 'reaction' skills I guess...kinda hard to explain, but neat to experience. Today we had our last ballet class with the director of this school, it was really quite enjoyable, a nice change, and I came out of it feeling grateful for class that day...admittedly not something that I always feel.
Tonight we're lying low, last night was plenty enough excitement to last a while. But hopefully we can take a last trip to the city tomorrow and bathe in the glory of the Baroque structures...let's just hope it doesn't rain. Oh, big news, the sun actually came out today! haha, it actually brought a smile to my face...no, correction, grin. The Cheshire version.

As for the title, well, it is the second friday I've been on exchange, and it feels significant enough to be recognised. Whether it likes it, or not.

That's all for now, I hope our fifth lady joins uber soon (my attempt at German) and I hope the rest of you have a Gutes Nacht.
