When we didn't make the cut for top 100 initially we were really sad because the dancing was the worst and so we both had this awful what if feeling. maybe we could have made the next cut? ...so that sucked. We went back to watch the semi and the f8nal and also team match and that was really fun, team match was awesome because it was Europe against the Americas and great Britain and Australasia. so Michael and joanna sergey melia riccardo and yulia and maurizio and andrea were all dancing. I still love michael and joanna and think there dancing is by far superior to anyone else's. Trey compared them and riccardo and yulia to the hieneken guy and the dos equis most interesting man. the Heineken guy is awesome but show offy, where as you just see the most interesting man and know he is a bad A. I laughed on the walk home that night when he said that but it is true, the analogy works. Besides that RS Latin was a home run for the US Denys and Antonina got first place and Pasha and Daniella took second we were so proud :) Then we rushed off to the imperial hotel and the North American party hosted there, THAT was a ton of fun. we hung out with Sasha and Alex and our table was so loud because we are all the youngest i guess, like under 25..and none of us got further then top 50, so misery loves company and we were just being mouthy and having a good time. Dinner was so fun and we split a cab with pasha and daniella on the way home and talked dance. The party took away some of the sting of feeling like crappy dancers because we made a lot of friends and laughed a lot. today we danced 1st qualifying heat for amateur and i can't decide whats going on, because the dancing feels bad and i am not sure if it is because i am more aware and therefore better...(probably...hopefully..) or if its because i am getting worse... (prob not, but still...) We made the cut and at this point no goals have been set for amatuer because the division is just so advanced that we just dance for experience at this point and if we do well we will be happy. yulia and ferdinand look great and her dress is so cute i think i want to buy it, she has great taste. After the round shirley and yegor gave hugs and kisses and some encouragement for tomorrow, shirley told me i looked beautiful out there, which was really nice to hear after watching all he other pretty girls in fabulous dresses... and T bought me a new coat :) great way to end the day...except its not over we still have to practice which we leave for in an hour...this is just naptime... which i need to do, i am so tired my eyes are all burny
