After the horrible week I had I was almost ready to write off the cost of my VIP pass to the Pittsburgh Bellydance festival but I had already scheduled the time off for the Zill class that was tonight and it was the one class I really wanted to attend so I went and as my luck runs I had a totally crappy drive to the studio followed by 45 minutes circling looking for a parking space followed by a near miss of an accident. I pulled over already in frustrated tears and the lady I almost hit pulled over as well, I was expecting her to scream at me for almost causing an accident and I guess she took one look at the crying mess that I was and was kind and sweet and told me where it was OK to park and then how to get to where I was going. I thanked her and got the car safely in a legal spot and managed to still get to the studio before class started.
I guess it was obvious that I was still upset and I got a hug from one of the other women there and everyone was just so sweet. I've gotten used to the people I usually deal with and their not overly friendly attitude and this was just nice and friendly and just what I needed at that moment. The class was a little above my comfort level but I managed to keep up and had a good time. Afterward we headed over to the Church Brew Works for a meet and greet and some dinner the food was excellent, the company was welcoming and I'm so glad that even though everything just sucked until I walked into the studio I'm glad I stuck it out... I'm looking forward to the rest of the weekend, I'm not sure if I'm going to do the classes on Sunday I may take that day to rest but tomorrow should be a lot of work but a lot of fun at the same time.
