Early am class at the new building. I volunteered to wait outside the building 15 minutes before class started since there were so many new students who had never been there before. I read for about 20 minutes and went into class. Today…was the day…where the class learned how strange I am. We were assigned to make up a short narrative about a family the night before, and then in class we would share what we wrote. I wrote one about a doctor. She wasn’t married but had a boyfriend, Glen, for whom she was a “sugar momma”. They were currently at her datcha. She had 3 children, Ann-Corinne, Ben, and Dee-Dee. Ann-Corinne was doing laundry, Ben wanted a cigarette and a father figure, and Dee-Dee was a doctor and not doing anything. Dee-Dee also had a cat. Who makes up imaginary stories that make sense? Not me! We laughed at the hilarity of my silly story and before I knew it, class was over.
I went outside and there was…wait for it…. SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I walked around for 2 hours and eventually made my way to the 12 colleges campus. I sat in the sun on a bench and read. I wrote a letter too. I took my rain boots (I wore them on the one day it didn’t rain all week) and socks off and pretended I was back at CoA for a moment or two. The sun is so powerful. Not only in the “it can give you skin cancer, wear your sunscreen” way, but the effect it can have on your life and state of mind is brilliant. You never realize how much you miss the bright thing until it seemingly disappears for a week.
Tomorrow is Russia Day, which explains why school has been cancelled. There is a concert in Palace Square around 6pm and loads of people EVERYWHERE can be expected from early afternoon on wards. I’ve come to accept the fact that I don’t really like crowds. Parties or places where I know most of the people present is wonderful, but mass amounts of people I don’t know and zero personal space kind of makes a girl want to stay in. We’ll see what I’m in the mood for tomorrow J
