As you might know I went to UC Berkeley to take classes for 4 weeks. The program started July 2nd and was supposed to end July 28th. Of course, with my luck, the Time magazine article came out on July 17th, which triggered Today Show to contact us. I had to leave. I was really sad. It's not like I'm not excited for Today Show, it just happened so fast.

I didn't even have time to talk to my professors. The day after Today Show contacted us, I had to pack my bags and leave. My girls from my floor got up early that morning and we all went out to breakfast. It was soooo sad. My roommate was crying. I went to my morning class and took off. I got home in time for dinner. I was very happy to see Lagushka, it was looking good sitting in the water. I even gave him an extra cricket for a treat, he was happy. After eating dorm food for 3 weeks, dinner tasted super good. Sleeping in my bed was amazing, I felt like I was on a cloud or something. It's the small things...

So the evening I got back, Vova and I had to practice. It went pretty well for not practicing for 2 and a half years. We came up with a routine that we're going to do on Wednesday. The next day, 21st, we went to the Promenade to practice in front of people. It went really well!! It was so much fun too. Mark was very proud of us. There wasn't much wind there though. The Today Show is going to be outside, so we're trying to practice with the wind and everything. I think we're going to try to go down to the beach to practice (I'm really going there to swim, but they don't need to know that. They can't pull me out of the water).

So that's that. Oooo!! I forgot, we're all getting haircuts today!! WOO!! Mark, Vova and I are going to have a blast! Ok, it's 10:20 and I still haven't had breakfast, I'm dying. Bye!

Hey Olga!

I'm pleased to tell you that Takako scored very well on the pricing game without you. It was a pleasure having you as a student, and I bid you success with your juggling.

Sincerely,
Jamie
