Do you know that feeling that you want something to be over already? Even if you were enjoying the process, you somehow wish you wrote enough history already and pass it and get it over with?

Been so busy. Besides all these thesis interviews and research, I also have to get ready to lecture. I get so tired, I swear, giving lectures from 3 in the afternoon to 9 at night is no walk in the park. But I do like that I'm getting a lot done. I hope I'll be done in time.

It was a documentary about ballet and life in a ballet company, by a French guy on the Paris Opera Ballet. Of course, it was in French, and of course, since this is WOWOW, the subtitles were in Japanese ( Read more... )
