Before anyone says anything..yes yes i know that I havent been on here for a while but what more can i say then...meh...Well a lot has happened to me since my last update. If i rememeber correctly i was reporting some rather grim news of my grandmothers passing and how it was my first experience with death and I was shaken up by it for a good amount of time. But the people here and the wishes of my friends back home got me through the tough time. Well anyways its may seventh and im done with this year on the twentieth..I cant wait to go home. I mean I love this school and the people ive met here but jeezum, i needs me a break. My roomies are becoming overly messy narcisistic mofos with no regard for anyone and they think there all knowing so whatever anyone (usually me) says is wrong. meh. Dan Dave and Ron, I know that I havent kept in touch, and I know there is no real excuse for that and I hope you guys will still want to chill over the summer and such.I have been busy concentrating on my school work to do anything really that requires some time such as lj. But since its nearing the end of the first year of college I logged on and shouting all my peeps a holla. Well for all those who havent already heard I have found a new passion in life...dancing. And I dont mean all that techno, shake your body/grinding club dancing. But rather classical dancing. Since coming here I have gained an appreciation for jazz and have taken up Swing dance, Ballroom dance and recently country line dance. Well swing dancing is swing dancing there is nothing really more that can be said about it except for it is the bomb. So much energy and so fun and ive been told im somewhat decent at it so that makes me happy. Give me a quick jazz beat and ill show you some dancing feet. lol...man that was corny as hell. Meh. Winter and spring quarter I have taken ballroom and latin ballroom, and its really fun, its a bit more formal than swing but it provides a nice counter balance to the free spirit of swing. I take solice in the fact that I think I can handle myself in most dancing situations if it arises. Tango, cha cha cha, merenguie, salsa, samba, waltz, 6 count american style ballroom swing, foxtrot, so on and so forth. And I know people are gonna make fun of me but over the winter quarter I dsicovered country line dancing and it is this wierd melding of both swing and ballroom because it has form cause we ance in lines but it also has this wierd sense of freedom. Its not as redneck as it sounds. Granted every thursday we go to a club called the roost to country line dance, but its not at all what it seems. What ever perception of line dancing you had would be blown by what me and my RA do every thursday with her RA buddies. its totally bad ass. This quarter I think I have made myself addicted to dancing, because I take four dancing classes throughout the week. On monday and wednesday I have country line dance for an hour, onb tuesday and thursday I have swing dance for an hour, and on wednes day I have a three hour block of Ballroom. On top of that before I go to the roost I help teach some dances at the country line dance club so on thursday I go from *pm to 2 Am country line dancing and I love every minute of it. I love dancing so much, but now I think im addicted, cause on fridays I have this sense of withdrawal cause I dont do any dancing...is dancing a drug...is it possible to freak out if i dont get my fix...pray for me argentina...pray for me...again I apologize for not staying in contact but I still love you guys and hopefully over the summer we can reminice of times past and exchange tales of our first years of college as we return for the summer, wiser and different than we were leaving revere
