Dancing + potential places to live

There are two shared households (the Swedish word is "kollektiv") who want to meet with me this week! Each of them are interviewing two people, so all things being equal, I have a 75% chance that at least one of them will want me. I am really hoping I can find a place where I can feel at home. And I think I actually have an advantage in being slightly older and having a ten-year experience in living in various "kollektiv".

In other news, I've taken up flamenco dancing again. I have taken four years of flamenco classes in the past, but it feels like ages ago now. Still, they let me jump back into one of the more advanced classes--we'll see how that goes. But I have a good memory for choreography, so hopefully it will work out.

Ooof, the first class was hard--all the super-fast stamping in high heels! My poor feet! But still, it's unexpectedly therapeutic: I feel like I'll be able work out my feeeeeelings in my dancing, when I've learned the steps well enough to let go a little. I am so glad we're doing seguiriyas this semester rather than something like alegrías, with a happy party mood. I could just not have done that. But seguiriyas, yessss. Much more serious and deep, which I am definitely in the mood for.
