Books, food, kanji and ballet

I am just in the mood for a spam :3

As I have holidays I can afford it :3

Hate going outside..

too hot for me

Summer can you just end, please?

But holidays can continue of course!

As far as I remember I have not written here

that I successfully defended my 2nd master thesis
in culture management

(with honours again)

and I can spend my holidays on other things.

This is an inscription.

I dedicated my thesis about The Krakow Opera for

my fav local tenor :3

As my admiration for his performance of Don Jose in "Carmen"

was the beginning of all opera love and adventure 

he was worth it<3

Unfortunately the season of Opera is now over

so I have to wait long long time

before the next performance.

It seems significant that the last performance in our Opera

for this season

was kabuki theater.

The next I will see after the return from Japan...

Significant or maybe I pay too much attention

to small details ;)

My outfit from this day

What else to do during holidays?

Books :3

Only tasty pieces

like you see :3

And food

Those pics taken on a small party

with Imaginary

(Sorry I could not resist the temptation

to post the last one... :D )

If it comes about dinners

lately I am in the mood for pancakes

like Zucchini pancakes

with tzatziki sauce

or with fresh fruits

Vegetarian fast food?

So proud of my "hot dog"!

I mean omelette

with a soy sausage and the set of salads :D

*yummy*

Food, books and... Japanese and ballet.

Japan Foundation has

already sent me the test to solve..

It motivated me to start the revision.

Generally kanji..

I need to practice kanji

as I have problems with writing them...

I also took part

in ballet workshops.

How excited I was!

We were doing quite difficult stuff

and I learned my first choreography :3

Having classes everyday is so different!

It does not even matter that my toes

are scuffed and ankles swollen

(and progress is slow).

It was so challenging!

Ballet slowly teaches me to control my own body

and generally overcome weaknesses and fears.

It takes my power, but offers

me beauty and strength instead.

Somehow I start to think that learning

ballet and kanji

is somehow similar.

You have to exercise everyday,

you have to strive for perfection,

you feel worn out, do it wrong,

feel like giving up

but start it once again.

Even though I am not able

to admire kanji as much as ballet

still they are both enchanting.

I even started to imagine

learning kanji

like a kind of dancing on the paper.

As I learn kanji from imiwa (IOS app)

I spend time looking on the screen

when kanji are written stroke by stroke-

they dance themselves on my eyes.

Kanji develop themselves over time

(the order of strokes is important)

so it sounds like a kind of dance xD

What is the music?

Maybe finding the answer would be the way

to finally remember them!

Hahah sorry for all this babbling Xd

I remember that I read somewhere

(and those words stuck in my head)

be like one of those ballet girls,

have discipline.

And yes- this is definitely what ballet teaches you.

Kanji do the same.
