Update time!

Finals are done! I wrote four major papers, took my Sinhala exam, finished the last waxing on my batik, and have my dance performance tomorrow (EEEKKK). The papers went well, the Sinhala exam was one of the hardest tests I have taken, and the batik is looking pretty good. As for the dancing….well truthfully I am nervous. I have been working my butt off (literally, I think it is disappearing) practicing and I am finally getting it, but I’m worried I will mess it up, and we only have one shot at it. All of our families will be there, our 3 wheeler drivers, and lecturers. And – to top it off – I am in a costume that displays my tummy for all to see. Oh goodness. Apparently everyone thinks it looks ok, but I am simply grossed out at the idea of showing my belly to anyone other than the shower walls. I have to get over it though, because they will not let me pull it up higher (I tried), and the dance is tomorrow.
On the bright side, I have been doing working on the abs, thanks to malli and the ab lounge in the house. Malli is pushing for me to do at least 50 twice a day, which I find impossible. I have been doing 50 per day and I can hardly sit up! Still, he is a great motivator and makes it fun (as he pushes the back of the ab lounge and cheers me on). I’ll try to put pics up on the blog of the dance, if I look ok enough. Haha.
