The 2 past days have been hectic and very strange. My co-worker Alya called me and asked for help. Her daughter Sabina, who is a ballet dancer too, is currently living in Germany, but she's also a student of balletmeisters' department of Vaganova's academy in SPb. And of course, this "online education" and spring exams are causing them a lot of inconvenience. She needs to make a presentation with analysis of one of classical pieces (an opera, a symphony, a choir concerto, a cantata, etc). But the problem is that they're not musicians! So, everyone of them is panicking, quickly looking for a musician, who could do the work for them, or, at least, tell them what to do and how to do it. Alya didn't make up anything better than to make me help her. And, of course, i can't refuse. The first day was a day of searching for the books and sources online, and of talking to that girl via "Whatsapp" messenger (we made a video call, and that was pretty cool and weird at the same time, because she's in Germany, and i'm here). The next day was the same. Searching and talking. But we were talking for more than 2 hrs. Plus, i was talking to Alya, who is very nervous about it. The girl is very nice, and she listens to what i'm saying, because she thinks that i'm a "mighty music theory teacher".
I used to be a student of music theory department at the music college (before the conservatoire), but i got so sick tired of music theory, that i think of it as of a nightmare, lol. I really hope that i'm explaining it well to her, that she's making some efforts and in the meantime, she will pass this exam. Tbh, i don't like a responsibility like this, but oh well, i guess, i have no choice... I advised her to take Beethoven's 5th symphony for analysis, because there is a lot more information on this music than on anything else in the list given by their professor.
Elijah has come and brought a lot of wall panels for our coridor, as he proceeds with the repairs. These panels are heavy and cumbersome. But the good news is that he has finished the floor and the ceiling. All i want to do at the moment, is to sleep. I don't sleep enough, and it affects my mental health.
It's gloomy and wet outside, sometimes it's raining. I go for walks everyday, sometimes - very late in the evening, in order to meet less humanoids on my way. Everything is blooming around. Bird cherry trees (Mayday trees) beneath/around our house are already covered with flowers (and they stink, lol). I like lilac shrubs more, but they will bloom a little later.
I have no plans for today rather than eat, lie on bed, go for a walk, and maybe search something for that girl. Plus, i'll probably sort out my food (bought by mom in the last couple weeks). All food is on the floor in my room, and it needs washing. Most of the time, she brings food, puts it on the balcony, or in the corner on my floor, or on the floor in the coridor or living room, and we don't touch it for a few days,- then we wash it thoroughly, and only then put somewhere else, like in the kitchen, in the pantry, or in the fridge (if it's not urgent). The only exception is cabbage that needs washing right away, and mom's carnivorous products that would get spoiled without the fridge.
Part 1. Unghshu's walk yesterday evening,- pictures taken at 9.30-10p.m. It shouldn't have been so dark, but big rainy toochi covered the sky.
. Sometimes it's good when theres only one veg choice!
