When returning from the school, walking with Hanka and Ann, Hanka remarked the current weather is just "ideally" depressive. It was raining, getting darker and darker and it was cold. While I can withstand the rain, the cold and dark makes me feel badly. And winter's coming, it's going to be even worse. I also feel quite lonely these days. You may say, absurd, that I'm always in company of some people. Indeed, the moments with others are delightful, yet it's just not enough for me. :-( For the better side, it made me talk more to my siblings.
When I returned home, I decided to make both useful and pleasant (though some of you may doubt it) - I started counting Math and Physics. Now, sure, I'd rather talk to someone; but on the other side I simply have to count a few exercises if I'm to do the maturita. Counting is pleasant for me, as it calms me and takes my bad mood away. When in the company of others, I may be up to euphoric, when counting I'm content. The con is that I simply can't find a solution of one Math Olympics problem. I've already decided I won't do it for the competition as both there is too little time for me now (just one week) and I'm too stupid for it. But it's a nice "leisure" - it's just something different than the common exercises I count.
So when I came to the dance lesson, I was already *content* ;-) And dancing was even better.
I feel dance may be a suitable "sport" for me. OK, the sport should signify you're moving during the activity. I used to think (and other people around me as well), I'm completely "anti-moving" kind of a person. Common sports just bore me (when doing it for longer time). But I more and more realize I don't mind moving, I even enjoy it. Just normal sports are too much about...sporting. I like hiking (with the right people; btw earlier in my life, I was swearing never ever hiking) and dancing - in the both cases, moving is combined with social interactions. Also, I like skating - it's both a good way to move around for shorter distances (i.e. less than 30 km ;-) and I feel I can think brilliantly during skating. However, if I want to continue with dancing even after the basic lessons, I have to learn it better ;-)
I danced with Lan, Adela and Tereza (Scorpion's sister).
I was dancing tango with Adela - she studies the gymnasium in Strasnice. I wonder why anyone chooses to go to the dance school so far away. Sure, there are not that many dance schools in Prague, but still quite a couple of them. Is it that the one of Mr. Hes is so well-renown? She was rather passively abiding when I tried to understand tango.
From dancing (and I acknowledge it may not be a good way to judge people), Tereza made a feeling of a lady. In both bad and good. Well, for me rather in the bad sense, as a "lady" is not the kind of a person that I'd admire. But a lot of people may feel the other way. Or, maybe, when compared with what Scorpion had told me about her, she tries to feel like one. Still, I think she'd make a great dancer, if she'd like it and practice (which she doesn't seem to).
Lan's been improving a lot - practice makes perfect :-) And with the improvements she also seems to enjoy it more.
We learned tango ("from" foxtrot) and rumba ("from" waltz). Rumba is definitely easy (at least for now). It took me longer as to get to understand tango, but OK, I at least *understand* it by now. I'm very grateful for the assistants, for their help. It must be difficult to try to advice such a llama as I am, but they persist :-) And also, big thanks to Kriza.
