She must've read the unhappy expression on my face, because Alexandra's smile turned reassuring. "I understand that not everyone like outings like these. There will be a lot of comforts provided by organisation committee for all participants, but if you don't want to, you don't need to go, Diana."
I shook my head, the last traces of sleepiness dissipating under the news. "I'm just shocked, that's it. When will all that happen?"
"The festival will go on twenty-third and twenty-fourth of June, which are… next Thursday and Friday. Oh, I didn't notice myself how soon it would be. Good thing I saved part of my leave days for months ago. If you come, I hope you won't have troubles with your work schedule. It's pretty inconvenient when the festivals fall on weekdays, but the dates can't be moved."
