Wednesday

Sony stopped by last night after her tribal class to work on our bellydance choreography. We had a decent start, but gave up after an hour or so. Chereography is a weakpoint for both of us, thats when we usually rely on Ree. It didnt help that I was sick. Sony and I are doing a duet to a song by Ajaja, a kind of mid-eastern pop style, and I'm doing a solo to Minor Swing. I still need to get my costume completely together. While working on my solo, my stomach cramped up. I am sooo out practice. As soon as the tribal workshop is over with at the yoga place, I'm going to take bellydance classes there.

After we gave up, we crashed on the couch with pizza and watched Supernatural. I love that show. We went through 2 whole disks of season two. Just three more episodes to go, and then we'll have to wait until September 4th for season three to come out. It's funny, I haven't watched actual television, with commercials and everything, in over a year. I hate a lot of the trash they put on tv now, as well as the media perceptions of what a woman should look like. But every once and a while, I'll find a show I love: Supernatural, Nip/Tuck, Dexter for good plot, and Family guy, South park, and Futurama for comedic relief.

It was good to have the four of us - Sony, Darren, Z, and myself - get together and hang out. I've realized lately I'm losing friends, not so much that we're drifting apart, but my some friends are at points of their lives where they need to follow their own paths, paths I can't follow. Patty, one of my dearest friends, is leaving as soon as this this Saturday to go to grad school in Oregon. Sony is going to leaving in September to spend 9 months or so in France, Darren is going to be moving away in about a year, and Z probably won't be far behind him. I try not to think about it, but still, it's hard, knowing that in a year, most of your closest friends won't be around.

I would love to travel or study abroad, but can't at this point in my life, I have to get through more of my education first. While I wouldn't mind taking a semester or so off to study abroad, I can't until at least 2010. I want to wrap up my pre-req classes and have a good portion of my degree-related classes finished before I think about taking time off for travel. I would love to go back to France, or volunteer in India or Nepal.

My dad is pulling an all-nighter at his office to catch up on the work he left behind on vacation. I think I'll go visit him.
