Second belly dancing lesson

I've started taking belly dancing lessons. Now that I'm at university I have more time. When I was in high school I wouldn't even have considered an activity like that. Even though it's only once a week, I just had too much school stuff last year. High school in France SUCKS. You have class six days a week, on Wednesday and Saturday only in the morning, and the other days til 17:45, so that sucks. And of course you have a ton of homework to do (and also last year I had physics!!! YUCK! and I sucked in physics). At least at university I only have class four days a week, and like on Tuesday I only have class in the morning, and on Thursday only in the afternoon, so I have plenty of time to study and to do extra activities if I want to. I've wanted to learn how to belly dance for a long time.

Last time there were only four people in the class, and I was the only real beginner who never took classes before. This time there were more people, and I think that besides me, there was at least one beginner who seemed about as lost as I was. The teacher told me that I made a lot of progress, so yeah! But I still have a lot of work to do before I can show off for my BF. (even if I do learn it well, it's pretty embarassing to be belly dancing in front of your BF all my yourself lol) If some of you want to take belly dancing lessons, I should warn you that it's a lot harder than it looks!

And also there was a girl in the class who really scared me! Her arms were just sooooo skinny! There were only bones in there! They were like half my arms! (and I'm pretty thin, 1m72, 54kg - which is about 5 foot 6, 119 lbs - well, I'm not anorexic, but I'm not exactly fat) And don't even get me started on her stomach. I mean, belly dancers are supposed to have a little tummy, aren't they? Not a fat one, but a little cute one, not a scary skinny one. I know it's not the girl's fault, but she really scared me. I really hope all these girls who are desperate to lose weight and all read this and stop freaking out about it. When I read about girls with a perfectly fine weight who want to lose even more, that just make me sad. I mean, do you really want to be skeleton thin and be scaring people? I seriously doubt that!

Just a thought: maybe I should ask the piercer if I could get both tragus and belly button piercings at the same time?? (there's one thing you should know about me before you get too much into this blog: I'm really single-minded, when I want something, I can't let it go before I obtain it...) If they tell me it can put cicatrisation in jeopardy, I won't do it, but there's no harm in asking, is there?
