Rest & fun

I slept for 11 hours today! And it's still not enough (or, may be, too much?) - I feel sleepy and lazy. I have holidays, don't I? The first REAL holidays since...
When I was in my homecity, I tried to have a kind of rest, but had tough scedule because of my mom's work and all these stuff you always have to do at home coming back for a week from another city.

The problem is that I don't know what is rest for me.
Ok - sleep at least 9 hours per day (during the year 6 hours usually), don't use laptop more that 2 hours per day (eyes are still red, have no fucking idea why), walk at least 1 hour per day (I seem to people mad girl, I think, as I walk at the top of the hills and talk to myself).
They say "meet friends, go to the cinema, dance in the nightclub" - ok, to clarify: I can do and I do all these things during working year. And it's not "rest" any more. Just the part of the life. I can find time for pleasures anytime. There is no time for doing nothing without feeling guilty for it. I still feel a little bit, when see Roma & Katya working.

Shit! It's there choice but deep in my mind I probably have this "stakhanovetz" role-model which push me to work more & more & more. So the best choice would be to go somewhere whithout laptop, without people I have ANY touchpoints in my work, without AIESEC. But this beautiful moment will happen in months...

Ok, let's stop this speach of worcaholic;)
Few lines about rest & the party "dark-blue sofa" that we had in MC-flat day before yesterday.

Katya Kh. & me just decided to have some fun & meet people without going out (plus there was great learning experience in organizing parties & performances:))))

32 sms were sent. Most of the people were out of the city or had something to do with families.

Finally we had 12 participants, including mc-aborigens (Katya, me & Roma).

LC Moscow was not late, surprisingly , so Lesha & Alisa made sandwiches, Sasha & Sveta was inventing some stuff with chocolate creme (very tasty!), I was preparing hot wine (it becomes usual thing...)

Katya printed photos of all the participants & put in the corridor (like in russian theatres).

We decorated the room with candles, lights, put "the sofa" in the middle, had the first cup of hot wine & performance started...

The concept was the following: each person had a card with name, pairs found each other and got the text. 20 minutes for preparation & they should perform the dialogue they just got.

As literature fans, Katya & me chose cool but not easy books:)
For example: Boris Pasternak (Doctor Zhivago), Tennesy Williams, Aristofan, Daniil Harms, Tarantino (it was my idea to have scenario for Kill Bill:)

But you can't imagine how great were performances! Random pairs (some people didn't meet before) looked like students of some actor's university.

One of the comments we've got was "we are so cool in performing, why are we wasting our time studying economics & management?:)"

I was impressed by Katya & Roma dialogue from "Doctor Zhivago" (Lara & Yuri) - deep, serious, sincere. I really look forward for haveing such kind of evening with all MC-team.

And...yes, I was really surprised by myself. I didn't EVER think that can be any kind of actor. At school, in our "theatre" I made decorations, I wrote scenario, I even helped few groups to make a performance - kind of director. But I always thought I have absolutely Zero talent in "playing". But I do:)

It's one of the greatest things that I discovered about myself during AIESEC career:)
