Gym Woes
I joined a gym right, and I have been going for the past week and a half (before I got REALLY sick), to EVERY dance class it offers: Danza del Vientre (Bellydancing), Sevillanas (lots of clapping hard to explain), Caribenos (like salsa, cumbia), Salon (like tango, pasodoble), and lastly Flamenco. Why not take advantage right?! So on Monday, the flamenco teacher (I can´t stand her, and she ignores me; I think because I am not from Spain) wants me to wait for her after class to ask the manager if I´ve paid or not, since she didn´t believe me...so I wait, and wait...and wait! Then, I decide I am not waiting anymore and leave. So then I went to her class on Wed again and she was out for revenge. She totally ignored me, and danced with every student except me, but eh I don´t care, as long as I learn. So then she wants me to wait for her again, and I do, because she hurries, and we talk to the head guy, and he tells her I paid...so I´m in the ha-ha-I-told-you-so-mode right...then we come to find out that I am supposed to be taking only ONE dance class with the gym, and you have to pay separately if you want more! OMG it was sooo embarrassing in front of all of these people in the front office! So the flamenco teacher was like, well tell me what happens tomorrow and flounced out! The head guy told me I have to pick ONE dance class that I want, and I am definitely NOT choosing hers. Oh well at least I got almost two weeks of free dance lessons! Yay me! After that, I went to a bar and had a manzanita (hot apple tea) to tranquilo down with my favorite Portuguese bartender.
